The 25 lb weights ain't much but I think you might be able to stack them on the inside? Never tried it. Them Bolens weights do fit a nice. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Them Bolens weights do fit a nice. Definitely agree on the Bolens weights. I've used them on the outside of our Wheels before. Good fit. The holes in the middle of these 25-pound weights are large enough to put a hub through so they will bolt to the inside of a wheel okay. What I'm not sure about yet is whether they will clear the 2 inch thick aluminum spacers I have to use on my heavy weight rims and tires. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,968 #13482 Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Began working on gas tank install, hood install and steering set up yesterday on my long delayed RJ build for my brother David. It is coming along pretty well! Motor is a good 4 hp Kohler I bought three years ago. This RJ was $60 when I bought -however in need of some love. It was a very rusty mess. I was originally going to use a hood that had been cut at the back for a bigger motor - but I just could not bring myself to do that after looking at it. I had two RJ hoods melded to make one good one. Transmission still a lit RJ le tight and I think it just needs to be run. The honing of the brass bushings in the rj transmission rebuild process is very important to smooth operation of the axles. I did not rebuild this one but I know it had all new brass bushings , bearings and seals when I bought it last year. This makes about the fourth RJ I have redone to full operation. One more still stored for rebuild awaits. The last picture is what I started with last April. At $60 I just could not say no.

Lane Ranger 10,968 #13486 Posted November 10, 2021 This is what I started with in April 2020. At $60 I could still not pass it up! The last photo was where I was last June. I could not get over the half hood . I think it was Craig that got me motivated to get a better hood. So I bought two to make one good one. 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,361 #13489 Posted November 10, 2021 Today was pretty much the same as yesterday this time I got the 16 auto out, which is my dedicated snow blowing tractor. Changed the transmission oil and filter and engine oil, greased everything and she's ready for the inevitable. 11 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,494 #13493 Posted November 10, 2021 Busy day today for the BBT, her mom and me. I did a dump run earlier in the day. Then I got the 1975 C160 Automatic back up and running after fixing some PO things and replacing the carb with a rebuilt Kohler #30 I had on hand. Them 2 chicks were on the go all day as usual. Trina J. B. Welded and painted the belt guard and engine pulley on Millie and got that going too. It now shifts properly and has a much more user friendly speed. They also pulled some logs in to be cut up. They moved a good amount of leaves using the mid mount grader blade on her 867 Pigpen tractor. All 3 of us spent some time blowing leaves with either the new Craftsman B215 gas blower or the Ridgid shop vac/blower gifted us by the excellent @wallfish a few years ago. Yeah buddy we're still using that! After that Trina graded the driveway. 7 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyquil junkie 225 #13497 Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) It takes a beating and keeps in ticking... 3 days of moving tons of sand and 25 RR ties to make a solid cow walkway so they can get to their feeding station. No more muddy entryway. I couldnt have done it without this thing. We have 2 skid steers and a backhoe, but the skidders rip up everything under them and they are heavy. This thing is light and you can do work faster with a lighter footprint. I should put duals on it just for a bit of floatation/traction but it does fine the way it is. What did I do with my wheelhorse today.... um, got it really dirty. lol Edited November 11, 2021 by nyquil junkie 9 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
