LoBoy 154 Read Tire Options?

I have a 1970 IH LoBoy 154 that needs rear tires. It has Goodyear All Weather 8.3-24 R3 (turf tread) tires on a 7” rim now but one has a sidewall leak. I am the second owner and have had the tractor for 30 years so probably stock, as delivered. Anyway, I went down to the rural tire place and was told the Goodyears are no longer made and that they were not able to find any comparable tire in any of the 6 brands they handle. I spent hours on the web and cannot find anything, new or used with the R3 tread.

I was hoping someone has run into this and can give me an idea what my options are. Is my only choice to go to an R1 tread? Tires? Different rims? Since I use the LoBoy primarily for cutting grass, I would prefer the turf tread but have to have something.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jim
 
Welcome to the forum, I see your zip code is near Rochester NY. Some options are:
Google search for the tire by size, check ebay, place a wanted add on the forum classified add page, check a tire repair shop-it may be able to be repaired with a boot and new tube, contact forum member tst in upstate NY-he might have one or two. An internet search shows several turf tread tires available and you could also change both of them to 9.5-24 size. JMHO Stan
