I finally found a cart for my 31" mini Isaac..Found it on Craigslist and then found out a lady I knew had it...lol.. My questions are : 1. How do you attach the traces?. 2. Does anyone know anything about these wheels? I called Mr.Graber ( nice man) and he said they should have had the spoke wheels, which I knew anyway.Some one had changed them along the way.I've never seen wheels like this on a cart..Thank you for any information..

Well I can help with the traces. Pull the lace out from the end and slip the trace on and put the lace back. I have a cart that has that type of whipple tree. As for the tires, can't help but I bet that makes for a smoother ride on rough paths.

But what prevents the lace from coming back out? And Thank you for your response..

My tree has a little grove up from the end that the trace sits in and then the lace goes in the hole. It has never came out yet. I can take a picture of it tomorrow if you like.

I have one tree that has a slot and one that does not. The lace is usually tight in the hole and/or long enough that it does not come out without you pulling it out. Also the slot or hole in the trace is usually a tight fit when you slide it onto the tree.
I wonder if the wheels were damaged and that was all they could find (or cheaper) to put on the cart. I would think that those small wheels would make it a bumpier ride than the bigger "bike" wheels. If you replace them make sure you get heavy duty spoke wheels not bicycle wheels. I'd suggest a place in CA. (can't remember the name at the moment) when I do I'll come back and post.

When I do replace them I will probably get them from Mr.Graber..He is only an hour from me..I had never seen wheels like this put on a cart..I wonder what they were thinking..lol..

I needed new wheels for my very old Graber cart and Mr. Graber was WONDERFUL to work with! He found me two tires in his storeroom that fit my cart's odd size shaft and shipped them very reasonably. I would never hesitate to work with him again.
