I dont think you could on an older IH Cub Cadet because the hubs are secured from the inside and the brakes are probably in the way.

JD, Jacobson, older MTD... and several others have hubs that are secured on the outside of the hub with keys or 'C' clips or a single center nut so you install the wheels and inside weights onto the hub before putting it on the tractor, but you need weights with center holes that are large enoungh to fit around the hubs... not all are... not sure if the IH are.

On snow removal tractors I like to put the weights inside and hubcaps on the outside so that the wheels dont get full of snow that will later melt in the shop on my dirt floor.
