Wheel Weight Protectors...
Not sure if anyone has tried this, or if it's a good idea or not, but I am putting some weights on my SLTX 1050 and thought I'd try it... I cut some pieces out of an old innertube and will use some adhesive to hold the pieces in place on the weights while I mount them, and hopefully it will protect the paint on the wheels. Let you know in the Spring.

Our own Matt G suggested I rethink where the weight might make contact with the wheel. I looked again and he was absolutely right, I would have had the rubber pieces in the wrong spot. I ended up cutting 4 bigger pieces of the tube about 2" wide, enough to go all the way around the weight (sans where the notch is for the valve stem), put one on the bottom of the wheel, carefully put the weight in and then left the nuts loose on the bolts. I then slowly rotated the wheel and worked the the remaining pieces in place, and adjusted all 4 pieces to where they weren't visible, and tightened down the nuts. The pieces of innertube tightened down nicely and hopefully will work as an insulator the protect the wheels. The other weight is ready to look like the first.

Great find of the weights, I'm thinking your pa put you in that spot at that time to find them.
By the way, good idea, hope it works.

I'm trying a couple coats of "Dip It " the liquid insulator in a can that we dip our tool handles into.
I brushed it on around the inner edges that would touch the wheel. Should help with the scratches and nicks.

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.
