found weights for the inside of my 100’s wheels. $37.50 each! (plus a two-hour round trip and a BBQ lunch.) not too shabby!
 
the guy also has a tired old 149 he’s trying to sell, CHEAP. says he’d take $75 just to get it moved.
it is in excelsior springs, missouri.
guy’s name is cole. 816-520-3580
i told him I’d get the word out here.

I seem to be in a wheel weight "desert", they are always too far away. :(
You are in a Cub Cadet dead zone :( my friend. I've seen some old Sears lawn tractor weights that maybe a good alternative. I'll wait until spring when the hoarders are desperate. And with older tractors for sale w/weights sometimes they'll part with the weights only just to get rid of them. I'd like to get a light set for mowing. That 2182 is front-end heavy with the radiator and battery, when it gets pointed down hill it will spin backing up -- could use a little better traction.
 
Are you sure those will fit on the INSIDE??
Looks to me, from here, the hole is way too small for the axle/bolt ring/hub to fit through.
nope, not sure! just going on what someone on this site said about putting wheel weights on the inside of the wheel.
seeing them first-hand, dimensions relative to the wheels, simply eyeballing, it sure appears to be possible.
i was actually going to put them on tomorrow since I’ve got the day off and the Mrs. & kids are out of town!

if they don’t fit inside the wheels, it seems some folks bolt weights on the outside, stacked on other weights.
might try that as plan B if plan A proves infeasible. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

quickly discovered that the “new” weights didn’t offer clearance for the lugs, so I switched my existing weights to the inside of the wheels and mounted the new ones on the outside.
