Gardena R70Li Tire

thingiverse

This is a replacement part for my Gardena R70Li lawn mower, which has been giving me some trouble lately. I tried to find a new wheel but all I could find was the entire thing for around 25 EUR - not exactly what I was looking for. The issue with my current wheel is that it's starting to slip off quite often. The tire itself isn't broken, but it's been worn out for more than three years now. So far, it's still holding up, but I'm expecting it to fail any day. In a few weeks, I'll report back on whether this new part has done the trick or not. As an aside, I originally wrote Gardena R40Li, but after double-checking, I realized that my mower is actually an R70Li - they're basically identical when it comes to mechanical parts. The main difference is that the R70 is a bit faster, but that's probably just software. It's been two weeks since I installed this new part and so far, so good. However, the tire has started to widen slightly, which means it no longer grips well enough to stay on the wheel. In some cases, the wheel will even spin inside the tire. To fix this temporarily, I've started screwing the tire onto the wheel with a few screws. I'm also working on designing an entirely new wheel from scratch and when it's finished, I'll be sure to post a link here for anyone who might need it.
