slim67 2,735 #1 Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited September 12, 2021 by slim67 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herder 2,354 #4 Posted September 12, 2021 Nice score. I am guessing they are for 8" wheels. ? I haven't seen that style before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71_Bronco 1,072 #8 Posted September 14, 2021 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,353 #9 Posted September 14, 2021 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Issue I have, is that my Commando 8 doesn't have the pair of holes to mount weights with. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
