Wristpin 400 #1 Posted December 8, 2015 I'm on the look out for a decent pair of tyres/wheels for an Antelope (same as used on J3/5 Junior Gangs). Ones with a bit of tread left on them. I would consider a machine with or without an engine. So if you have any, or know anyone who may have any to sell please pm me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-101plowerpower 548 #2 Posted December 8, 2015 any pics of the tyres in question? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wristpin 400 #3 Posted December 9, 2015 As far as I know the tyres are specific to the Antelope and Junior gang units and not "generic" so won't be found elsewhere. As you can see the ones on mine are a bit short of tread/grip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 642 #4 Posted December 9, 2015 When I sold my ransome mini gangs there were some spare wheels for them. Should have kept them Sure some will turn up on Evil Bay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wristpin 400 #6 Posted December 10, 2015 Good suggestion - thank you. Re-cutting is a possibility but I will need to drill a couple of 2mm test holes to see how much rubber there is over the steel wheel. The image of the parts list that I posted shows that the profile of the wheel has a raised central ridge and I need to be sure that there's enough rubber to take a cut without the tyre splitting. However, salvation may be on the horizon as I've just had a phone call from a trader who has two two 36" bottom blade / sole plate assemblies that need to be refaced and won't fit on his grinder but are within the capacity of mine and he has two sets of mini gangs residing in the undergrowth behind his shed. The wheel/tyre assemblies may not be much better than mine but I see the possibility of a deal! 2 Alan and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
