Front weights on H

I have a 3 pt. on my H which I put a fairly heavy rear blade on in the winter (not one of those lightweight TSC-style jobs). The front end (NF) gets pretty light sometimes and I would like to weight it down. I don't have front wheel weights and am not sure I want them.

I was thinking of taking two pieces of channel iron and bolting them to the engine frame rails and then have weight hung out in front of the tractor on a cross-piece that would tie the two channel together.

Is this a good idea or would it stress the frame rails too much? Any other ideas?

Thanks....winter is coming and I need to get ready.

The weak point on the H is the casting between the engine and transmission. Be sure all bolts are tight that attach the casting to the frame rails, engine & transmissiion.

I don't know why the channels and cross tie wouldn't work. All the antique pullers do it. If it breaks your tractor you could always replace it with a John Deere. Good luck.

That is what the pulling boys do. You mount a loader to those rails and it takes it. I am sure you will have no problem. You will blow out your front tires before you have a problem with the rails or engine.
