My Troybilt bar tires are cracked from the sun and flat. Has anyone
been able
to put new tires on the heavy gauge metal(one piece) rims? Troybilt
says it
can't be done and I need to buy tires on rims.

Not sure what you mean by "bar" tires. Did you mean "bare". I put inner
tubes in my 8HP Troybilt tubeless tires. Used 8" tubes bought a a
Goodyear tire store. It's a bit tough to get the bead over the rim but
not impossible. -Olin
