Default Wheel weights affect rear bearings?
I have a 1250 that I am going to use for snow removal duties this year with a qa42 snow thrower. I have the 23x10.50-12 rear tires filled with Rim Guard and each rim has a stock IH 25 lb. wheel weight on it. I just had the new tires filled this year as last year when I tried to snow throw with just the weights, the tires spun badly. I also have tire chains that I ordered from tirechains.com that I still have to put on. I have a few questions here:

Will I be set with just the one set of wheel weights and tire chains for work on my driveway that goes up hill?

If I did decide to buy another set of wheel weights and stack them on the ones there now, does it cause more wear on the rear axle bearings at all?

I saw these weight adapters on xtrememotorworks.com and wonder what you guys think of them:

The plate bolts to your rim and puts the weight to the ground, not on your axle bearings. Holds your weights off of the rim so that you do not scratch them.

Plate comes with a 1" or 2" shaft so weight lifting weights work great and are readily available. Must specify shaft size and shaft length on checkout.

Just wondering everyone's thoughts on this as I located another set of wheel weights on Craigslist. I don't want the rear bearings to possibly wear out prematurely due to the extra weight.

Another question, are the 10.50's stock tires on the wide frames or were the 8.50's stock? Just wondering about tire chain clearance. I will have to wait until I look at it when I go to put the chains on.

Another thing, what's the tallest tire to fit on the wide frames without fender mods? Thanks guys.

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.
