If you have to is there a good welding shop that can if need be put it the housing back together, cast is tough to get it welded right.

have you taken the name brand and size off the tire and done a  net search, I did one on size and got nuttin but the brand might get something.

I found no turf in that size, simple tire has bkt tire 27 x 7.00 x 12 ,6 ply ag grip part# 94019274 @ 100.96 ea.  lawn tractors use a 23 x 8.50 x 12 on rears but that is to short  but could be used I guess if left out of 4 wheel drive . I have a 2005 lenar (dongfeng)  LE204A and it uses a 5 x 12 ag grip in front . as long as it is not real wet they do not tear up the ground.

is the fork some kinda cast or is it stamped metal, I was wondering if you were gonna try  weld it back together.

have you pulled the  cover off that the shifter is mounted in. I seem to remember someone having a retainer pin fall out that hold the fork in place , it acted like a broke fork.
