Where to get a replacement wheel for a big wheelbarrow? Can't find one!

[catembi]

I have a large plastic wheelbarrow with twin wheels but one needs replacing. Wheel size is 16" x 650 and the surface that comes into contact with the ground is flat like a car tyre, not curved like a normal barrow. I can't find the right wheel for it, but these barrows are everywhere, so surely someone must do them? I've been struggling on with my smaller barrow, but now that one needs a new wheel as well, and some handle grips... Aaaarrrgggghhh...!

Any good? Amazon

Do you need the whole wheel or just the tyre?

I got one from here. https://www.mowermagic.co.uk/ I wasn't sure about size and they were really helpful.

Cobgoblin's tyre is the right one, but I think I need the wheel... Mine is quite battered, and it might be easier to get the whole thing...

OMG, mowermagic...wheelbarrow porn! And they do trolley barrows, which I've been hankering after...!

I got mine in a local hardware store

Go to either a garden machinery repairers or tyre replacement place. Both should be able to source and repair.

While you're about it you could change both wheels to ones that never go flat. Mine are all done now and they're great.

Rather than just replacing the tyre get the whole wheel & tyre. Go for a foam filled one, they ride well & are puncture proof. Measure the axle width etc on the original wheel & it's probably cheaper to buy two identical new ones off ebay than replacing the one original for a like for like. Ebay has a whole range of sizes & types.

I can only find this, and two of these would cost as much as the whole wheelbarrow cost new...! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PU-Wheel...hash=item4d9161a883:m:m3PYlcB_8LjPGrh4WqNQdzw

I replaced my trolley tyres with the solid yellow ones. Equalled the cost of my trolleys but should last for ever I hope. Well worth the investment.
