New tires and wheels for a child's wagon

[gary]

I have a Radio Flyer Steel and Wood All-Terrain Wagon (model #32).

The tubes keep losing air but Harbor Freight doesn't have tubes with 'bent' valves. Even if I could find the right tubes, I don't know how to remove the old tubes and install the new ones.

I'm thinking it might be easier and cheaper to buy new tires, wheels and tubes but Radio Flyer's "wheel kit" is very pricey.

The tires are 10" in diameter; the sidewalls say "4.10/3.50 - 4"; the axles are 1/2-inch in diameter; and the hubs are offset.

Where else can I buy tires, wheels and tubes to replace the factory ones?

Tried Ebay and Amazon for tubes?
Your local tire and battery shop should
have someone who can do this. Bring the
kid along, chance of a better price.

This is the standard size for tyres/wheels for garden carts etc, sold
locally
by Princess Auto at about $19 each, but I recently bought five for $7 each
on special.

Look in your yellow pages phone directory under "Wheels".

The wheels on your wagon are actually tires because they're inflated
with air, but not all wheels are tires. Any of the places listed under
"Wheels" will sell small tires, solid wheels and casters (as well as
feet for furniture such as the feet for tubular steel kitchen table and
chair legs.

Good quality solid wheels will have a large hole in them so that they
can accomodate different size bearings to fit different size axles. 1/2
inch is a common size of axle, and you shouldn't have any trouble
finding solid wheels (or small tires) that will fit your wagon.

Homemade Redneck tire sealant,
some cheap latex caulking and windshield washer fluid. You mix some
up and get in the tube anyway you can. I use an old plastic squeeze
bottle of some kind, usually an old mustard squeeze bottle and drill the
end out just big enough to tightly fit over the valve stem. Remove the
valve stem valve, squirt the stuff into the tube (I'd guess a 1/2 cup
per tire ought to be plenty), put the valve steam back in, air it up and
roll it around. Works great for the kid's bikes. I was skeptical but
this has solved the flat tire problem on the kids' bikes.

Also looks like Amazon has new tubes like you're needing,

There is also foam fill available, or you can buy premade tire
sealants it depends on how much you want to spend and which way you
want to go. The smaller tires can be the devil sometimes getting them
on and off the rims.

What is meant by "Hub Width" and "Hub Offset" and how do I measure them?

[Caulki...@work.com]

Try a farm supply store. Ask for wheelbarrow tires. Go to a regular
tire place or mechanic to get them put on the rims if you cant do it
yourself, but it's not that hard to do it on those small tires. Car
tires are tough to change by hand, but them small ones are not bad to
change.
