Smooth tread on push mower?

[swampratt]

Yea I have seen many people replace the drive tires on the self propelled mowers.
I was about to do that or cut some tread into them and then seen this hack.



I also read the reviews and a simple bike tire tread will also work. Yea that rubber no slip mat is $1.89 at harbor freight.

I was just given a Honda HRR216 mower that did not want to start and the tires are slicks.
Yea I got it running and adjusted the drive cable and it hauls booty but will not go up a slight hill on wet grass.
Just does a burnout.

It will be getting a retread job

Ehh...I just wait until the grass ain't wet.

Dont know about where yall are but here there is always pushmowers sitting out at the curb all over the city waiting for the trash guys to pick up or whoever.

Good push mower you got a hold of. Those Hondas are tough and long lasting.

My tire treads are on.
Grass is always wet to a point when i mow. Dew or rain.
I have hills I mow also so there is that.
I have some self propelled mowers but I removed all the propel junk and made them light so I could push them easier.
I have 2 Honda mowers with all the stuff to propel them and I am trying to keep them that way.

I added some E6000 along the edges of the installed tread on mine.
Keep debris from getting under the tread.

I LOVE E6000 I have fixed many things with it.
Shoes, plastics and even a 1" cut in a tire sidewall 235-75-15. Wore the tread off of it.
