Right,
Just the man I was looking for.
Is there anything on , in or with it that would indicate where they are made in China ?
They are not imported into OZ and HF do not sell into OZ and if they did it would cost over $ 100 in freight.
So bugsey here has been looking for the factory that makes the, to see if I can import a crate of them.

I have put 3 sets of back tires on my ZTR. They are 24" tall compared to the 18" stock tires. I now can mow at 10 MPH and love it. Took 45 min off my largest lot I mow. 2.5 acres. My Craftsman (snow pusher) I put a full set of tires on as I paid $50.00 for it and it needed tires and a belt replaced. Sold it for $500 this summer. I was rebuilding an old Murray GT and had to put a full set of tires on it. I paid $25.00 for it and sold it this summer for $100.00. Then the rest of the tires are from the rest of the crap I got and fixed up and sold. I was purchasing tires from eBay / Amazon for $2.00 to $5.00 for front tires and $10.00 to $15.00 for rear tires.
The picture is me in the back and my 2-year-old son that is slowly trying to kill me on the ZTR. Look at the aggressive tread on that bad boy. No, I do not tear up the grass.

I know I told you guys about the large pine tree that blew down in the storm that put half the State of Maine out of power and just missed the corner of our camp. Well yesterday we went out to start clean up on that mess and I didn't want you guys to think that I was one to exaggerate so I took pictures.

This one shows it the best, the base of the tree is about 15' behind the camera and the top is right in front of the car. Now I'm telling you, that was close!
