Hi every body. I have a statesman ridding lawn mower.its about 12 years old. The tires will not keep air. The tires are dry rotted on rims. I don't know how to get tires and rims off frame.it looks to me the wheel needs a wheel puller. I thought taking entire mower to tire place to see if they can get it off mower fram and tire off rims.they would probably laugh at me. Thanks for your help. Art.

Not sure of statesman, but remove the dust cover and see if there is a C clip to remove, then slide wheel off. I really can't believe any place of business would laugh at you. If they were that inconsiderate, I would take mower on down the road. Good Luck
