F-12 front frame weights mounting question

Tom Fleming · Jul 16, 2011

Headed to the show shortly, and decided to put the front frame weights on my F-12. I have never mounted these, and needed to know whether the angled part of the weight goes towards the front or the rear. I suppose it really doesn't matter, but thought I would ask.

The angle part goes to the back. If you take a look at the weights, the holes in the weights should match up to the already existing holes in the frame rails. And the cast ridges on the one side of the weights go next to the frame rails. Hopes this helps.

Thanks Dave, and yup, found that out when I got to the show and went to put them on.

Tractor weighed in at 3240, with me, belt pulley, front weights, and 3 gallons of gas. Had to pull in the 3500 class, and got my butt handed to me. However, I am NOT upset. This is a Nov 1936 F-12, and according to the previous owner (original owner's son), the engine has never been rebuilt. sooooooooooo, pulling against super A's, Super c's, and so on, I came in dead last........but no shame. 58 feet separated me from the #1 puller, so not so unhappy, and most had engines that had been redone.

I had a blast, and that is the main intent. thanks again for the reply!
