Also, my friend Tom, master of salvage, doug up a couple of riding mower transmissions at his friends scrap yard.
No, they won't stock replace the one I have on the Electrac, but the tires are the right size. (Although I already bought NEW tires a while back! Where's my reciept?!?!)
Also, the one had bolt on rims and used HUB ADAPTERS! Too bad they aren't for a one-inch driveshaft! They were only three-quarters. The guys seem to be encouraging me to get some 1" ID pipe and MAKE them into 1" hub adapters!
Hmmm. More experience with the bandsaw, lathe, and welder. I think I might give it a try.
If I do that, I think I will also sandblast the matching rims, and beg Tim again for additional powder-coating!
The other interesting/weird thing about it is that the hub is for three bolts, and the rim is for five!
