Unknown weight

I'm picking this weight up. Anyone have a clue what model it goes on or how it attaches?

Not sure of the weight maybe 100 lbs?

i think they are called tombstone and go on a early 60s to late 50s model.

The tombstone weights are primarily used on the RJ (1955 to 1959) and Suburban (1960 and 1961) models which have their engines  near the rear rater than near the front.

RJ on the left, Suburban on the right (not mine).

My dad plowed a garden with a 604. Front end was never on the ground.

@953 nut       Question, is the RJ & Suburban the same size tractor, HP,etc , by looking at that picture the Suburban look's a little bigger? Also, what is it like to have that engine so close to your leg and other associated body parts.   Thanks

Their nick named Nut Roasters for a reason

The RJ is a bit smaller and lighter than the Suburban. RJ is "Rideaway Junior" and was produced from '55 to '59. The engine location is a bit uncomfortable and also makes them prone to wheel stands without some front weight.
