My 70 needs new rims on the front. Is 3/4" by 3" the correct spindle size? Thank you

What size wheels/tires are you looking at purchasing? and have you found any good sources?

Here are two options.

My spindles where scored fairly deep. I welded up the grooves and hand finished them with a small grinder and a file. I'm not home right now and I don't remember which width I got, I think it was the wide ones. They fit on real good with the bearings they sell and some spacers. I am using the original size tire on them. Will eventually switch over to a higher quality bearing but theirs are still ok. Basically they are minibike bearings.

My Tires are 13x3 or 4. I was hoping for 15x6 to make the front a little more stable.

What PSI are you guys running? my tires were flat and I just inflated to 10psi.

I to am into a restore on my 70. I found that my spindles are pretty gone as well. Is there anything out there as far as replacements?

Tim only if you find a good used set of spindles from a 60, 70 or 100 lawn tractor. Garden tractors are different. I see them from time to time on E-Bay. Roger

Roger, took your advice on looking on ebay...I found a new old set, still had JD factory tags on them. I may have my old ones welded back up and reconditioned as a back up.

Thank you again!
