Can anyone suggest replacement tires for a FDR1672 Finish Mower. Dealer is over $50.00 per tire. Implement is one year old and the tire Center Bushing/Bearing wobbles on the shaft of all four tires. Currently has solid tires, but thinking of switching to air filled. Thanks.

I am really curious how your bearings are worn out in a year. There are grease fittings on them to keep them lubed. Should not be worn out in a year. I bought my FDR 1672 used and has solid tires. I replaced the center bearings in all 4 wheels. Have kept them greased and are still like new after 4yrs. Personally, I would never change my solid tires for air tires. The solid tires work great and never have to worry about flats.
I Grease the wheels regularly, with no load on the wheel, you can tilt the wheel about 1/16 of an inch. Maybe this is normal. I did not know you can change the Retaining bushing and bearing, I will try that and see if there is a difference. Thank you.

Not sure how often regular is, but just to let you know I have found the bearings in the wheels need greased every 3-4hrs with steady mowing. Hope this helps you out.

Not sure what you're looking for, but these guys have had many replacement or upgrade wheels & tires I have needed in the past:
