1862 Wheel Weights
I picked up a set of the plastic covered cast iron wheel weights that came off a 1450 Cub Cadet with the plan to intall them on my 1862. Any techniques you folks use to install these. I think they are about 75# each and I can't "muscle" them into place and get the bolts through the weight. Any help would be much appreciate.

The 1450 did NOT come with plastic coated 75# wheel weights. They may have come from later generations of Cub Cadet Tractors. The weights you have will most likely mount with no issue.
As far as lifting them into place, can't help you there other than getting some extra manpower.

If it is possible, one could stack a few short 2x4's or appropriate material along side of the tire and just pick up the weight and set it on them, allowing easy fastening to the wheel.
Usually, but not always, plastic covered weights are cement, not cast iron. but I don't, nor have I seen everything. #75 is not that heavy, but trying to hold up the weight and carefully align the holes, without damaging the valve core, is a bit of a chore without help. Much easier to turn the tractor on it's side and let gravity work for you.  Ha,LOL!Edit: Roland types faster than I.

I got them of Craigslist and the previous owner said he had them on his 1450.
Perhaps the weights are concrete rather than cast iron. They have a few scars so maybe the previous owner had a difficult time getting them on as well. I think the threaded rod, instead of the carriage bolts, might be helpful. I also think the idea of using a support rod that has been shown here can help. I will give it another try. Thanks for suggestions.

I just put the 50# plastic coated concrete ones on my 1872 for the first time. I have a motorcycle Jack that worked ok for me, I cut a couple of pieces of angle iron and "c" clamped them to the Jack, the weights set on pretty well, put two carriage bolts through, wheeled the Jack towards the tractor,reached in and guided the bolts in to alignment with the channels in the weights. Pushed the weights into place and started the nuts. Next time I'll make or buy some collars to hold the carriage bolts in place, it's a struggle. Good luck! Tomoorw, I'll post a pic of the rig I used. Merry Christmas!

I don't have any wheel weights but have thought a little about your dilemma.
I figured I use one of the many little rolling carts I have. ( Shop just can't have enough rolling carts).. Build it up to the right height and roll the wheel weights into place. I would have to use the chain hoist to get the weights onto the cart as well. Wonder as well if a person could pre mount them and roll the wheels into place. Some here with real life experience will hopefully chime in. Ken

I use my engine hoist when mounting my wheel weights on my Kubota BX. They weigh 110LBS. I have a rod welded inside a pipe and a strap that hooks on the hoist. I lift the weight and slide the rod into the top bolt hole then I put a couple bolts in before removing the lifting equipment.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
