JPWH 6,033 #130 Posted February 5, 2022 I finally got the rear wheel weights. The steel is 3/4" thick and weigh 30 lbs. each. The bolt pattern is too big but for the price I think I can make them work. A little cut here and there. Then a little cutting on the band saw gets them ready for a little shaping and hole drilling. 7 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,033 #131 Posted February 6, 2022 Finished the homemade rear wheel weights. Not pretty but functional. I don't like the lug nuts but they work till I find what I want. 4 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,867 #132 Posted February 6, 2022 Nice work! I used “Prevailing torque lock nuts, Zinc plated grade 8 (grade C) steel, 9/16"-18” from Bolt Depot and chased the threads for lug nuts. It seemed to work great! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Thanks @JPWH… I’m sorry I bothered you with the same question you answered in post # 57. But thanks for the specifics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,033 #137 Posted February 6, 2022 @Horse NewbieNo problem. I just went back to see who the seller was. The tires are a soft rubber but I think they will work good when I fill them. May have to raise the pressure some to add weights. Jay 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,033 #138 Posted February 12, 2022 It was 69 degrees when I got home today so I loaded the front and rear tires. 16 gallons total. I took it for a test drive and when I pulled back in the shop my wife came down to see what I had been doing so I told her and asked if she wanted to drive it. Both Charlie and Bentley had to have a turn with her. @oliver2-44 She likes it! 1 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could cut it down for a smaller tractor... but I have often questioned how good it would work.

oliver2-44 9,749 #149 Posted February 16, 2022 @JPWH Did the 953's have a factory cover with that round pump out, or is this just your nice personal mod? What piece of Sheetmetal did you get the nice red round dome from? Thanks 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
