What is better for the tractor as far as weight is concearned. I thought I read that Adding a lot of wheel weight adds a lot of stress to the driveline? I have also heard that adding fluid to the rear wheels is better then static weight to the rims. Theroy being the fluid moves within the rim and helps to cusions the shock.
I have cast weights on the the wheels of mine, plan on running chains when using my snowblower this winter. I was thinking if I need more weight to add it to the machine first.

My idea was just to buy free weights, drill holes in them, and bolt themon like normal wheele weights, will I be able to find anything to drill through them with?

What's best for the tractor is to get the weight on the wheels so that the bearings are not carrying any extra loads. You've either got to have a higher horsepower engine or be doing something stupid to twist off an axle most of the time.

Stitch, bench press weights are cast. Very soft, easy to drill.
I like that idea. I was planning on buying two 1'x1' plates of 3" thick lead. cut the corners off so they fit in the center of the rim, then its simple to drill for the mounting bolts. I can't remember the exact amnt, but you'll get like 70lbs per wheel, located almost dead on the axle flange. The closer to the flange, the less outward flex, therefore the less stress on the axle. Or, you want identical amount of weight on the inside, as well as the outside of the rim. This way, you can put an unlimited amount of weight on a wheel without adding any stress to the axle. IE: the only weight on the axle, is that of the tractor.

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.
