Replacement 4.80/4.00-8 Tire for Log Splitter

Question

Question:

I have purchased a number of items from you this summer and have been very pleased. Maybe you can help me find something I have had trouble finding: I have a log splitter that needs new tires. They are Kenda 4.80/4.0 - 8 tires but the wheel does not bolt on on. It fits on a 1inch spindle with bearings and is held on by a nut w/pin. Can I buy the tire and wheel or just the tire? Thanks

We can help you pick out a tire but we do not have any wheels like that. For your tire size of 4.80/4.00-8 we have the part # AM10002 which would fit and work well. This is a Kenda brand tire just like what you have.

That's not a number we are familiar with. What's the inner diameter of the bearing? If it's 1 inch most likely you have a L44643 and the 6 just happens to look like a 5.
