I would like to put some suitcase weights on my 2518 to help with plowing. I have 140# (total) wheel weights but need more. I will eventually get around to filling the tires with ballast but would also like suitcase weights.
Does anyone know which would fit my 2518?
The ones I see out there for looks pretty chinsy, not sure if they even fit... They look like they are 1/8" steel!

Could I just take a piece of thick plate steel and stick it into channel in the frame rail and bolt it in, angle irons to make the 90 degree and another flat plate for the suitcases to rest on?
Here is a pic of the frame "slots" - I haven't measured the height/width, but some substantial steel would slide in them. I believe this is how my plow bracket is mounted to the front... if I remember right.
