Wheel weights

[tsdeese]

When did the cost of wheel weights go up?

Around the same time as pick up trucks, when everyone decided they wanted them !

When did the cost of wheel weights go up?

I think about 1984? Maybe 1986..

[Stevenovick1]

And who’s paying the High price.

I tried to arrange transportation before I bought a $100 tractor that was wearing a pair of IH wheel weights recently. The tractor sold within minutes. I shoulda bought it, then worked out the details...live and learn, again.

I recently bought a set of non-CC weights for $25. I don't know what brand they are, but weight is weight, and they fit OK. They were listed under 'exercise equipment'. Apparently the seller thought they were for weight lifting. I feel like I stole them.

What’s your definition of high?

 

[John DeBree]

I saw a pair of CC rear weights for $150 this AM. I consider that to be high.

Do these have cement inside them ?

Do the wheel weights give alot more traction ? I have a side hill and since replacing a 50" deck with a 60' deck on my 1882 gives the tractor alot of downhill weight and more spinning .

If you're asking about the price of IH cast iron wheel weights going up, then yes from what I've seen they started to go up a couple years ago. Before that you could usually get a pair for around $100 and that was pretty standard for several years. Then I started seeing them for $125 up to $135/pr. and that was mostly parts dealer sources. Then I noticed eBay prices creaping up to $150 to $175, and recently they've sold for $200 plus. I think a big part of the reason is shipping costs have been jumping and eBay raised it's seller fees. (I watch prices of JD cast iron weights as well and they seem to be at least $200 to $250, and they are double the weight of the IH (50# each vs. the IH 25#). Heck, what do you expect, if you want the best buy IH.

Just fell over a pair of big John Deer weights for 90$ just looked in the right place at the right time even came with chains and nuts and bolts.
But have not been able to find any for the Kubota B series rear weights.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Joe, wow, that's a great price on those JD weights.

I sell the IH stamped for 125.00 a pair.
Ive used that price for years.
most of the ones i sell go to the J Cub collectors and used as front weights.

The steel, non IH stamped, weights sell for 75.00.

I am interested in some wheel weights. How do they attach to the wheel? I have a 1650. How can I get a pair from you?

 

[mjame]

I currently don’t have any in stock.
