rear weights
Good morning!! I am thinking up a design for rear weights for my 1882 with loader. I want to attach the weights to the 3 point or the A-frame sleeve hitch. Might be a silly question but here it goes: approximately how much weight would I need for the rear end and approximately how much weight would the 3 point safely support?
I am also very open to any other ideas regarding the rear weights. Thanks and have a great day everyone!!!

For the rear wheels, try this.
Build an X pattern out of a couple pieces of flat steel. At the center of the X, attached a 3/4 inch threaded rod, and cover with 3/4 inch ID PVC. Bolt the X pattern to your rear wheels, and then slide some weight lifting weights from Walmart on the rod. Then put the nut on the end. You need to measure the threaded rod and PVC to just a touch longer then the total distance of the weights. I'll try to grab a picture sometime soon. Works good. Should add some weight, but you'll need more on the back.

papaglide,
I used Merks idea but at the time i built mine i didnt have any flatbar laying here. So i used 1/4" plate and made mine. I figured what the heck i am wanting to add weight anyway.  On one of my green tractors i have 4 of my 25 lb. weights on each wheel. They held up just fine. And with this bolt and nut set up you tighten them up and they dont clang around.

I'm with the others, add weight to the tires. Adding alot of weight to the rear frame will add stress to the axles. I'd also fill the tires with some beet juice if they're not already filled. That'll add around 140lbs.

My wife's uncle has a 147 that I'm helping him to fix up.
He uses it strictly for tilling. I was talking to him about adding some weight just last week. So, I downloaded pics of both designs, and I'm going to show this to him. His stepson has a nice shop and can manufacture these. Hummm... thinking maybe he can make a set for me while he's at it! :biggrin2.gif:

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.
