Wheel weights
Does anyone know where you can get cast iron wheel weights? I've looked on dozens of different sites but no luck. I'm looking for the 75 lb weights. I have the concrete filled plastic 75 lb weights but they cover the whole inside if the wheel & I'm wanting to run duals so I can't put a spacer in with the wheel covered.

Steiner tractor parts makes a copy of the original ih ones, only 30lbs a piece though. If i remember correctly they are about $125/pair.
|
I have Bolens weights that are 58lbs each and a set of gilson or fords that are almost the same. Those are the heaviest steel ones I've seen that where not home made.
|
Thanks guys, I may be better off just going with a wider tire & using the weights I have, I just think the duals look really good.....
|
I just filled my inside with fluid and used Bolens weights on the outside. Gives plenty of weight.
|
bvillecadet, i was thinking on going with fluid, actually thought about going with duals & fluid in all four tires. How weight did you get by adding the fluid??

I gained over 40 pounds with windshield wiper fluid. Took about 6 gallons per tire . I 23x8.50 deestones. Used a hand pump from TS it worked ok leaked like crazy so I took it back. Did the job though.

Just the fluid alone was a great help, made it so I could climb our hill and mow. The duals help for stabilizing it on sidehills. None of our land is flat here in NC. There are a lot of disadvantages to the duals though. Can't mow close to buildings and walls can't plow close to buildings and walls and it makes for a tight fit inbetween posts ect. but looks cool as hell : )

Water is 8.33 lbs per gal. I use RV anti freeze in my stuff, non toxic if you get a leak. Break the bead on the valve stem side and just pour it in. Fast and easy. |
