Default My wheel weights...good for a laugh!

These eight cast iron semi-circles were considered scrap at work. I tack welded them together and band sawed them out to fit my wheels.



I made these to bolt to the wheels and slide the weights on.



I decided I wanted more weight, so I bought these.



I made these spacers and extenders to adapt the barbell weights to my existing holder.



They stack up like this.



Here's what they look like on.

for the comments and encouragement. Since they are not factory, I was hoping that I didn't "junk it up" by making my own!

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.
