Would anyone know what rear tire and wheel assembly would be needed? I just need the wheel with a sprocket mount or one with it installed already.

About 6 years ago I purchased a Wheel/Tire assembly from Harbor Freight. It was a solid rubber tire with correct diameter and included the bearings in the steel wheel. Cost was about $15. I purchased 2 since the 2nd one was used for the front wheel = looks great match. OK the hard part --- You need to get the correct size sprocket and have it welded onto the Harbor Freight steel wheel. This is exactly what the original manufacture did (Odom Manufacturing maker of Little Petro's). You might have to make the hole in the srocket a bit larger so that the welding only attaches sprocket to hub and allows the wheel to freely spin. Thats what original design is/was.  I went nuts and had a special collar machined that was welded to the wheel same as original design but my collar had tapped holes in it so I could replace the sprocket later if needed later. I had the sprocket drilled with matching holes so fasteners held sprocket to special collar. I wouldn't do this again. Expensive. Do what the first part describes above like what Odom Manu did.
