(I tried zip ties) A little bit of silicone works well, but is still easy enough to remove and clean up afterward 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 9,981 #3 Posted October 23 I prefer the soft silicone ones over the hard plastic - the silicone ones stay put. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lowell offers some softer plastic ones that seem to stay put. I've had good luck with them anyway. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product-category/knobs-grips-more/ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 11,602 #6 Posted October 23 (edited) IndyFord2. : save yourself some money, time and grief! Apparently, you never ran into me at a tractor show either Wheel Horse garden tractors! For over ten years i have been giving away FREE front wheel covers at tractor dhows! I have given over three hundred sets at shows, swap meets etc of my NESTLE COFFEE CREAMER cup caps! The secret is the packing foam cut into one inch strips wrapped around the hub and twisting the creamer cup caps off! One 80 years old guy said “and Lane you can open them up snd grease the wheels”! We have used this coffee creamer for 15 years and i just keep the caps in a five gallon bucket for FREE distribution at shows!
