    Brand? Age?

    It sounds like the previous owner just glued cork onto the wheels when the 'rubber' tyres failed, most bandsaws now use polyurethane 'rubber' tyres that are cast in one piece and are a stretch fit. From memory several on-line suppliers have tyres for 14" bandsaws as the wheels are pretty generic - Lee Valley, Rockler, Carbatec (?) Hare & Forbes are al worth a try.
