Walk behind NOS Lawn Boy wheels/tires??

Yeah don't think they are the real deal though...as far as I know the real deal "Nuclear symbol" OMC Lawnboy wheels are long gone and the only ones you will find are from dealers that are clearing out the stock, or ones that have been setting on the shelf in someones basement for years. These do turn up on auctions from time to time, and like UncleLee mentioned, they bring high dollars for sure. The fronts have brought a hundred bucks a pair for the past 2 ebay auctions. They lost me at about 60 bucks. LOL Nothing wrong with the aftermarket replacements, but for many Lawnboy collectors the NOS OMC wheels are really preferred over anything else.
Just thought I'd post a pic for those who aren't familiar with what we are referring to when we say "Nuclear symbol" Lawnboy OMC wheels. They have gotten so rare and expensive that I won't even install them on a daily driver, just on this mower comprised mostly of NOS parts that won't ever see operational use. Some background on this mower, I bought a NOS engine from an ebay seller a few years ago and about the same time an MTF member was selling some of his collection, and it included a NOS 19 inch mag deck, so I was lucky enough to win both auctions and that's where it all started. I've been picking up NOS parts ever since. Maybe someday I'll have a 100% 50 year old NOS mower. Next on the list are 4 each NOS OMC shoulder bolts, notice that one doesn't have the familiar OMC symbol on the head. It's a restore that never seems to end. LOL

I almost missed them, at first I thought they were the replacement kind....But something stopped me and I went through the pictures and seen they were the real deal. There is a set of Six inch also, I bid them through the roof so I can have a complete set....Lol if someone wants that set they are going to have to reach deep in their pocket.
