Front wheel weights

Recommended Posts

I was having my morning coffee when these popped up on marketplace. Considering how hard they are to find, I headed down and grabbed them. After pressure washing them and wiping them down with DuPont 105, I sprayed them Regal red.

They’re about 25 lbs I’m guessing but I will weigh them

Nice score.  I am guessing they are for 8" wheels. ?  I haven't seen that style before.

They are off a Simplicity and are the most common 8 inch weights I see for sale along with the MTD 3 pattern ones. Although I’m not sure the MTD pieces were intended for front wheels, I made mine work just fine. I’ve seen Gravely weights and John Deere also. I actually located two sets of the Simplicity ones today reasonably priced, but they are  too far away .

Mounted they do stick out a little.

Very nice, I've been looking for a set of those.

 

I do believe they are 25 or 30 pounds each if I recall correctly.

 

Issue I have, is that my Commando 8 doesn't have the pair of holes to mount weights with.

Do you have a drill and bits?

Another set of rims perhaps?

I had the same problem on the 854, but I had other wheels.

Very easy to do especially once you get a set of weights. The MTD weights don’t line up exactly so I redrilled new holes.
