I am looking for a set of new tires. The size of the tire is 10 1/2 X 1 3/4. This tire has 6 evenly spaced notches in side opening to prevent tire from slipping on the rim.
The Model no is 536-81970. I attached a couple of photos. Can anyone help?/Users/Yukio/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary/Masters/2015/06/16/20150616-181545/DSCF0333.JPG/Users/Yukio/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary/Masters/2015/06/16/20150616-181545/DSCF0343.JPG

I think I might know where to get some. I recently bought a Power reel model number 536.81998 and the guy I bought it off of had the original tires and a brand new set. He said the shop that he took it to had a brand new set. I guess it was new old stock? Chicago lawn mower on Montrose Ave. I don't know if he has more but you might give it a try. Our model numbers are close enough that it might be the same tire. The guy I bought it from had a lot of extra parts and even had the original owners manual.

I have a mower similar to yours. Do you have a digital copy of the manual that you can share?

I will see if I can scan it in to .PDF this weekend. I know I can scan it in high quality but my Adobe .PDF might be too old for my computer. I will let you know. If I cant scan it into .PDF maybe we can make other arrangements to get it to you.
