Homemade Rear Wheel Weights
I made these concrete wheel weights. They weight about 50 lbs per wheel. I had everything sitting around prior to purchase. Just need some 1/2" threaded rod, scrap stuff to weld in as re-bar, and a bag of quickcrete. I used some concrete dye to experiment with. I've only made the one. I should have left it in the bucket for an extra day before pulling it. If the second one turns out good I might pour a third and scrap the first one.
So basically I found a bucket that sat in the wheel perfectly. I drilled holes into the bucket for threaded rod. I installed the threaded rod into the wheel using 8 nuts total. Then welded in some fencing to kind of act as rebar. I cut up a cardboard roll and taped it into place for the valvestem, mixed up half a bag of quickrete, poured, shook and tapped the bucket for awhile until it stopped bubbling, and waited. I did not seal the holes in the bottom of the bucket and it did not leak more than a few mL. If the second one turns out the same I think I'm going to have some stuff laser cut. I found the old lifting weights I'd been looking for a day after pouring so I have 120lbs of 10lb steel discs that would hang in there nicely. They look ok but not great. At least they were cheap and it only took about 45 minutes to pour one!

The system doesn't recognize different phone pictures so I have to make a separate post.

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.
