Super A rear rims/weights

I have a super a that has one rear weight that bolts on, and the other side the weight is actually the center of the wheel. Is the uncommon or are most super a this way.
 
The right side is a cast hub, All A's Super A's etc have this. It is intended to add stability to the offset design.

Theu usual arrangement is as described below. Because the center of gravity on the A is offset to the left, it was customary at the least to use a stamped steel wheel on the left side, and the much heavier cast wheel on the right, with the effec tbeing a shift of the cenater of gravity away from the left. Made it much more stable on side hills sloping away to the left, also in hard right turns. (I wasn't there at the time, but I know a fellow who flipped a Cub -- which wasn't weighted in this fashion -- while turing the tractor hard with the right rear wheel locked up.) So the simple solution was to buy it with steel on the left, iron on the right, and MANY were delivered that way. If you got one with steel on both sides, the same effect could be had by adding a wheel weight to the right side. From there, if you needed more weight for the traction, you could add another wheel weight to each side, to have one on the left and two on the right.
