They are about six inches thick and come out about flush with the rims. Id also like to know what you think a set might be worth. I just made a rear counter weight and wonder if these might complement them, you are strapped with a counterweight with what you can use behind the tractor. I welded up a trailer hitch connection, but now I know I will miss the back blade. [Reply]   [No Email]

(Sorry...I typed and hit <enter> and did not proof read. I calculate the weight per gallon of jet fuel EVERY DAY (6.6 lbs) and simply did not realize I'd accidentally typed that figure into my msg. Fingers and mind are only distantly connected.) Thanks for the correction.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Mine are 175 pounds a piece and go on the outside of the wheel. they use the wedges which I have and fit the concave design of the wheel center. i got them off of a 871 industrial type tractor that I salvaged and plan on putting them on a 8n funk 6 cyl for pulling.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Question> Anybody know how many gallons fits inside these rear tires? Forgot my math/equation for volume.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Perfect for an N. Will fit Any 28" rim from the 9N all the through 1983. Don't buy them if you do not get the little round wedges that bolt them in. 50 cents/lb is not out of line for cast iron. Remember; it's hard to even Give away liquid ballast for your tires. But 5 or 10 years down the road cast iron weights will be worth as much or more than you paid for them. if you are anywhere around the Twin Cities I have cast iron coming out of my ears these days.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

If you say.. got the weights near free.. or at a great deal because they were missing those wedges.. it may be worth it. I got one of my 1-arm loaders like that... bucket was rusted out and needed re-skinning.. seller said he'd get around to do it.. I told him I'd buy it as is and fix it.. I got it dirt cheap.. and it only took me a couple afternoons to cut the old skin out and then weld some new skin in.. I like fixer-upper deals like that.. I've found some great bargains that others overlook due to missing parts that I know/think I can reasonable make, if the price is low enough to make it worth it. In the end, for a wedge.. it's likely a 'horse-shoe' issue.. IE.. doesn't have to be machined perfect like a crankshaft journal.. IE.. 'close' is ok... and I can get close with an angle and bench grinder :) soundguy   [Reply]   [Send Email]

If I found a set of them weights with no wedges..a nd the price was right.. or could be made right by pointing out that the weights are practically worth only scrap value without the wedges.. well.. I bet 10 minutes after I got home I'd have a prototype formed from styrofoam and I'd then be on to setup a jig for my chop say and drill vise.. then I'd be rooting around int he scrap pile.. and I bet good money that in at very most an hour ( in not way less ).. I'd have a working copy to pattern the rest from. I make lots stuff in my redneck workshop... chop saw , welder, various cutting tools..e tc.. some o fthe stuff may be ugly.. but after you grind it smooth, paint it up, and mount it.. it looks kinda perty' soundguy   [Reply]   [Send Email]
