Default Wheel Weights

I found some weights at the mower junk yard , and the guy wanted 100.00 for 2 40lb wheel weights. ( not cub but would fit it)
3 years ago I made 2 25lb weights ( red ones in the pic) that seemed to be enough for pushing snow around here. but I dont think its enough for pulling a plow. and sence I still have the plate, I cut out some more. I now can put 95 lbs inside each wheel.

Ill start cutting out the suitcase weights tomorrow. need to make a bracket too.

thanks. they still need some grinding.

I welded 3 plates together to get 30.4 lbs and 4 plates welded came to 40.3 lbs. and the red top plate is 24.7 lbs

I use the wifes bathroom scale to check them. I dont know if it right or not , the wife told me it lies and must be broken.

test fit. I can get all 3 weights bolted together off the 582. but can only get the 2 on the wheel. I can almost get the 3rd weight on but one hole is off almost 1/2 a hole.

Im going to drill the 3 holes a little bigger and weld shut and redrill the 4th hole.
other then that, I think they will work out fine. and the fit inside the wheel is good.

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.
