(Set of 2) Hustler 13x5.00-6 Pneumatic assemblies. Fits Raptor SD & Fastrak replaces 605038.

What It Is

This is a set of two 13x5.00-6 pneumatic (air-filled) front tires for zero-turn mowers, specifically designed to replace the OEM Hustler part #605038. They’re intended for the front caster wheels on Hustler Raptor SD and Fastrak models, providing a smooth ride and shock absorption on uneven turf.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s model and deck size. These fit:

• Hustler Raptor SD (all deck sizes: 42", 48", 52", 54", 60")
• Hustler Fastrak (42", 48", 50", 52", 54", 60")
• OEM replacement for Hustler part #605038 (also cross-refs to #605039 for some older Fastrak models)

Check three things:

1. Tire size – Must be 13x5.00-6 (13" outer diameter, 5" wide, 6" rim). Measure your current tire if unsure.
2. Rim offset – These have a 3.25" bolt circle (4-bolt pattern). Confirm your hubs use the same pattern.
3. Load rating – These are rated for 480 lbs per tire (at 30 psi), sufficient for front caster use on these mowers. Do not use on drive wheels.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM – These are aftermarket, not Hustler Genuine. Some users report slightly softer rubber compound, which can wear faster on concrete. Fine for turf use.
• Installation – Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a jack, socket set (likely 9/16" or 1/2"), and a torque wrench. Expect 30-45 minutes per tire.
• Valve stem position – The valve stem is centered on the rim, not offset. If your mower has a hub cap, it may interfere – check clearance.
• Air pressure – Recommended 20-30 psi. Overinflating (>35 psi) risks blowouts or rim damage on bumps.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a budget-friendly, direct-fit replacement for worn front tires on a Hustler Raptor SD or Fastrak, and you’re primarily mowing turf (not heavy commercial use on pavement). If you need OEM-grade durability for daily commercial cutting or abrasive surfaces, consider spending more on Hustler genuine tires or a premium aftermarket brand like Kenda.
