Looks like both wheels are plastic. Age and UV will often allow cracks to form. Chances are the wheels are slightly crowned and there probably never was a "tire" on them. What you see may be just built-up crud. If it were mine, I would turn a set of aluminum wheels to replace…
Read the full replyHi, I need to replace both of the larger wheels on this machine:
The upper wheel is cracked and the tire is gone, and the lower wheel is cracked as well.
I've looked around the web and can't find a good source for older delta parts...
Thanks,

If it were mine, I would turn a set of aluminum wheels to replace the plastic ones. The top wheel will need a bearing, of course, and the ones in the plastic wheel may be reuseable.
Enjoy the challenge!
