The 5024 and the 5247 have the wobbly wheel syndrome. I was sitting around in between coats of paint on a custom intercooler pipe I made, and decided I'd get them some new sneaks. Steel ball bearing, greasable sneaks. And I got the bolts for them. In the picture for the wheels they show white color. I got the box today, opened it, and discovered they are orange. Looks like I've got more painting to do. :banghead3

You're going to paint orange steel zerked ball bearing LB wheels white?

Tell me where you ordered them from, because I want orange ones.

Well, the idea was keep them original-looking. Both boys have the white nylon wheels. I figured I'd put white steelies on.

Can you give me the website for the wheels? Let us know how they look

I ordered a set of the orange ones for my 22240 here:

Scroll down. This is one of the few vendors I've see with treaded orange wheels.

I haven't got them yet, but I'll post pics and impressions when I do.

Good luck Ferrstein. I ordered a whole set from them for my 22260, and they called me 5 days after I placed my order saying the parts were no longer available. I got a refund, but it just sucks that they still had that page up.

Hope they come through for you.

I don't think I'll be selling any of my comm stuff now after reading about all these shortages of parts. Last year on ebay, I sold a red tank, wheels (poor cosmetically) & an engine guard for $.99 on there. Where were all you guys back then?

:hide:

I don't do commercials, I've gotten rid of most everything I have that's commercial. Still got a 6255 sitting out there, bout to scrap it, it's wore smack dab out.

 

[es_bob]

I just got some great ebay deals on orange wheels for my F commercial..

I still need them for the 22260, PR where did you order from?

I had the same experience with them. Wish they would update the web page. Seems like a waste of time for all involved.

I went back in my PayPal records. It says I paid "All Make (Lawn Mower Parts Store)", if that helps.

 

[es_bob]

Was it through ebay?

 

[PRattenbury]

I just went and looked in the box-o-sneeks and found an invoice.

The Lawnmower Parts Company
142 Blalock Coves Dr
Chasnee, SC 29323

Seems they are affiliated with Stens, judging by the logos on the invoice.

Part numbers were 681979 and 681980. Got 4 each. Their part numbers were 205-211 and 205-229, respectively.

Hope this helps. Not positive this was through eBay.

I put a set of the orange wheels on the 5347. Maybe I shouldn't have. It's not correct, especially color-wise, but it looks kinda cool.

 

[es_bob]

Post a couple pictures of it.

 

[PRattenbury]

I just got a half dozen sets of white steel wheels for the Boyz. They are non-zerk. I think I'm gonna take the orange zerk wheels off my 5024 and my 5247 and replace them with white ones. Then the 6251 can have all new 8" orange zerk fitting steel wheels.

 

[theCOOP]

Stens eh? I wonder if I can get them for cost from work.

 

[PRattenbury]

Always nice to get a price break.
