I have a John Deere 14 sb that my father purchased in 1989. Kawasaki engine (green deck). This mower is about bullet proof. 25 yrs old and still starts on 2nd pull. The rear drive wheels are about wore out and I am unable to find relacements anywhere. John Deere part # 104851. JD says it is no longer available. I have pulled the rear wheels off and the drive gear for the wheel is actually a molded gear all the way around the inside of the part of the plastic rim. Not the tire but the YELLOW rim. None of the replacement wheels for the 14 sb even show this type of gear(wheel) any ideas?
I just bought a set for my 14sb at GreenFarmParts.com

Deere built the 14SB twice, the early green one with the side discharge deck, and the low mount bars, then again as the Silver deck with the chute and/or bagger in the rear with high mount bars.
The rear wheels you are after are obsolete and have been so for a while, even when they were still around they were priced way above what most would give. I am not aware of another wheel/tire that will work.
If you'd like a PDF of the parts book that applies to this mower just shoot me your email
