Super A Farmall Wheel Weights

Michael Bishop · Mar 15, 2010

Should a Super A have wheel weights on both rear wheels or just one? And if only one, which wheel.

Weights should be placed on both rear wheels to equal traction as the lightest one will always slip first......

If you only have one put it on the right hand wheel. Its already a cast rim and the other side is pressed steel.you need the heavier weight on the outboard wheel because they can tip to the left easy

My answer will be a hybrid of the two below. It was very common for the As to be shipped with a pressed/stamped steel wheel on the left side and a cast wheel on the right. This in addition to the weight of the operator on the same side was generally enough to overcome any tendency of the offset design to tip to the left in normal and prudent operation on a sidehill or turn.

If you should have one with stamped wheels on both sides, a single wheel weight on the right side would have the same effect.

If you already have the conventional steel on the left and iron on the right, and are merely adding weight for traction, then adding weights on both sides would be appropriate.

not equal in this case, even one hub is cast and one is pressed steel. look at it and you will figure out why.

If traction is a problem then by all means put on both rears. They weigh around 145 ea. You can install them on the inside of the center section if you dont want the making the tractor wider.
