I'm fimilliar with the middle two.I have lots of them. What are F+H weights?

French and Hecht, they made wheels and wieghts for different tractors.

French and Hecht

It was an independent company that made wheels, hubs, weights, lots of things for outside companies.

well, on the F&H wheel weights, see if you can get the part number off of them. Then we can tell you whether they are IH parts or not. If I remember correctly, the F&H for IH werw WR160 and WR161 (I may have the letters wrong). 160 was for the first weight and 162 was the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.

the middle 2 are definately IH.

The center two will fit most any Farmall bigger than a C. The other two appear to be misfits. I would not pay more than about 50% of scrap price for the end two. The near weight might fit a larger Farmall but you would need a matched pair. Same for the one on the other end.

LMack, the end 2 are definately F&H and are for the round spoke wheels on the F-series. If those truly are the IH ones, around here in PA they start at around $100 each, and go up. Now, the JD ones are almost identical, bacially a different part number cast into them. Once again, they are getting around $100 each.

Not trying to be crappy here, but those are not all that common here in Western PA.

Middle two are Farmall weights. Outside ones are F&H - they will have different bolt-hole pattern. IH weights 17 in bolt pattern, F&H, 15 in. Would have to drill new bolt holes to pair them!

almost, W161 inside (first) W162 second and third

Old-F20 · Apr 20, 2013

Ive got a pallet of 161 and 162 weights out back and i can tell you for a fact they DO NOT look anything like those weights on the underside. thos are more than likely for a later tractor.

ive seen some deere weights that look like that on the underside and they all seemed to fit models with cast wheels rather then roundspokes

The question could be answered in 10 seconds with a tape measure. If any two holes in the F&H (outer) weights are the same distance apart as the IH weights, they will fit the same tractors as the IH weights.

"Nest together" as the ad says, technically no. You can put one of each on a wheel at the same time, with a long enough bolt. They will fit and work fine, but they will not "nest."

Old-F20 · Apr 21, 2013

161 and 162 F&H weights will 'nest' together. the face of them have 'nubs' that stick up and will fall into the dents one the backside. you still need a long bolt to connect them still

mkirsch · Apr 21, 2013

Well yeah, an F&H weight will nest into another F&H weight, but an F&H weight won't nest into an IH weight.

are these weights really IH?
