Hello, thanks for this site. I just bought a Lawn Prince 18" and it was in decent shape. I've been searching the net for tires, but cannot find any leads. Can someone help me out and point me in the right direction?

I want to restore it. Seems simple enough. The mower has got lots of life in it.

Thank you,
Angelo

Is that a Jacobsen Lawn Prince you're talking about? Post a picture or two of your mower, we'd like to see it.

If it is a Jacobsen, you can find the year of manufacture, if you are interested, on this site.

I believe another vintage reel mower collector has had some luck with these.

Thanks bwdbrn1, my Lawn Prince 18 mower was made in 1974. I got so excited about the mower when I got it home, I started to "fix" it by taking it apart to give it a good cleaning. So ... all I can do for pics are the individual parts. I have hit a snag on the wheels - mine have 2 different diameters on the inside. The wheels for sale on eBay seem to have a single inside diameter. I'm thinking of saving the "wreckage" of the wheels I have and use them as molds to create new rubber tires. If I succeed, then I suspect I won't be the only one happy about that. I'll post what pics I have when I get a chance.

Welcome to the site!

Bruce hit the nail right on the head.

Neat mower you got there, looking forward to the pics. I assume a Briggs engine?
