The plastic three spoke wheels where introduced in 1967, and through the years were white ,cream,light green,dark green,mint green,all came with smooth tread. Until the last that did have a tread pattern. A 1959 model should have metal cream painted wheels with plastic bushings. Any white triangle (three spoke) came with out bushings. As the miles pile up the steel axel bolt and wheel center would wear and then the wheel would wobble. The common fix was or is to bore the hole and install a bushing. The later orange painted steel commercial model wheel came with greaseable ball bearings. Is there a model number plate on the mower deck behind the motor?
