Good afternoon! I have a B3200 with an RC72-27BA mower and the gauge tires are coming loose from the hub. I installed large washers to keep them from falling off the hubs (again), but that is only a band-aid. I thought, no problem, I'll just buy new ones.... Holy crap those things are ridiculously overpriced!!! I have been looking for alternatives, but I haven't been able to come up with a concrete answer. I know some of you have had the same issue, so what did you do? Bite the bullet, bend over, and buy the same ones? This is nuts!!

Not sure what the bearing diameter is on your wheels but have you looked at solid hand truck wheels?
Just a thought and at $26.30 each with free shipping you could buy a box of them and replace as needed.
Something like this maybe?

Those generic "flat free" tires wouldn't last a day on one of these mowers. I tried some recently on a Swisher pull behind and they got flat spots sitting with half the rated weight on them.Not sure what the bearing diameter is on your wheels but have you looked at solid hand truck wheels?

I've been meaning to look up the mower wheels for my RC72 because mine are floating on the bearings but they are staying on and feel tight. They are just moving side to side. I do grease them at least every other mowing.
The bushing/bearing is available separate but it shows it costs $24.71 times two per wheel at Messick's. Also the $154.44 wheel looks like it may not even come with the bearings. OUCH!!!
