Update on wheel weights:
I called Steiner regarding the wheel weights I was looking at, and the man on the phone gave me dimensions that fit my GT2000 perfectly. So, I advised him of the tractor I plan to put them on, and the man said the weights will not fit as my Cub Cadet is made in China. I advised him my tractor was not made in China, and great customer service as he was providing, argued with me that the weights would not fit, and my tractor is made in China. At this point, I ended the call. I looked on eBay and found a man in New Hampshire looking to sell the same type of weights so I emailed him for dimensions. He said they came off I think a Cub Cadet 1572, and the dimensions were identical to the ones at Steiners. I bought them, and put them on the inside rims of my GT2000. And, the color of them match my existing rims, and they fit like they belonged. A fellow forum person also told me they would not fit, but I went against the grain, and I am glad I did.

They look nice, pretty much like that is where they were intended to go! I got to ask, what was the motive for putting them on the inside?
Disclaimer--I've never fooled with weights on a Cadet, although I have one that could use them, fluid, or ag tires---or any combination of the 3.

I tried them on the outside and inside of rims, and I thought they looked better on inside. I only wanted a little extra weight for cutting sideways on a hill in my yard. The yard also has soft wet spots so I didn't want to go too heavy. The tractor already weighs over 1,000 pounds with the stamped deck as it is.

The wheel weights look like they were made just for your tractor. I'm glad it all worked out for you.

Sure do.
I wonder why the newer ones do not list them as a option?

They went with the weight bracket and "universal" suitcase weights. Now they do not have to handle wheel weights that only fit 12" rims.

I noticed Cub Cadet doesn't list wheel weights for this tractor just suitcase weights. Yet, there are 4 square holes in the wheels for mounting weights. My local Cub dealer can order concrete, plastic covered ones, but I don't like them as much. Another Cub dealer in PA had cast iron weights they order in bulk that fit on outside of rim, but they stick out too much. The suitcase weights are great if one has a front loader, blower, or blade, but I don't think they are for cutting grass and for general stability issues. I'm just glad I got them on, and they fit and look good. Now, bring on Spring.

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.
