I've a 'Hurricane' lawnmower from the early 50's with a Clinton engine that runs very well. The thing is unbelievably well built and belonged to my meticulious father....I want to use it...... however, it has a novel bell anf rubber flywheel friction drive and the rubber flywheel which looks like a 8' mounted tire of extremely hard rubber has deteriorated making it unusable....I've tried sevral ways to rig a replacement and even had the center hub 'retreaded fronm a tire manufacterer but tire rubber is just too soft and it breaks up quickly....looking for parts in all the wrong places...any help?

The drive wheel may be similar to Toro drive wheels for rear wheel drive disc assemblies.
