installing a second set of wheel weights on my 400

SDE · Oct 21, 2009

I have four sets of weights. With the axle clamp bolts at the twelve o'clock positon, I put the longer part of the weight opening, up. This will allow access to the axle bolts with a rachet. By doing this though, I can not slide the square headed bolts behind the first weight because there isn't enough room between it and the spokes of the wheel. If I turn the weight ninty degrees, I will not have enough room for the rachet, only for a flat wrench. Do you put the bolts for the second weight in first and then tighten the first weight in place?
Thank you Steve

The first two sets of weights are too be installed at the same time, with the same bolts. After that you use the notches.

Its a tight fit but most times the square head bolts will go in the notches if put in before the next weight goes on. Start in the notch with bolt head angled to match spoke angle. Most people never notice or have the weights for the eight spoke wheels that came out and were used on most 400 tractors. They have a extra set of mounting holes on the weights to miss the spokes.
Number on them ends in DA instead of D.

We use threaded rods to hold our wheel weights on which allows us to cut the rod to length to allow us to put the number of wheel weights on we need
