Wheel weights

[btaner]

I have a weight box that I put on in the winter for some added offset to the snow thrower. Easily 300 pounds. I dont use chains, some slip on ice ,never got it stuck.

Well at 150lbs I'm in good shape then. Mine is just for the winter to,with a 42 in blade and chains and its (127) never given me a problem!

Yours is a127 as well! Does that electric lift work out good for you?

 

[btaner]

Yes, so far. The original motor for the lift burnt up. I found another on Ebay and swapped it out. It will lift a tiller also.

Some one correct me if I'm wrong, weren't these rear ends used on farm all cubs

Here's the frame I use to hold the weight. I'm not concerned anymore about the weight anymore but am wondering about how I bolt it up, The center bolt goes through the hitch and the 2 bolts on each side of the frame. I just have it sitting there for a pic but you can see the 2 longer bolts I use.

Yes, the rear end was originally used in the Farmall Cub.

I think that should be fine bolted up like that. For the rear weight on mine it was originally being suspended from the fenders, not the frame.

I have a 104. Can anyone tell me if the front weights for a Farmall Cub are the same part number as the rear weights for the narrow frame Cadets?

Thanks

I would say yes, since they are the same weight except for the color.
IH preferred to make parts that would fit on as many different tractors as possible. That way, you wouldn't have to build a bunch of warehouses to keep all the different parts in.

 

[kmcconaughey]

I'm about 99.99999999999999% certain that they are the same part number.

 

[mgwin]

Even though they are the same, I doubt anyone could order any!
Hard enough to find any decent priced used ones.

Kraig,
Got any ads/info on the front weights for a cub? Would be cool to see.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Unfortunately I do not have any Farmall Cub front weight adds or info on them.

In the transmission picture above, there are three transmissions in the middle that have a long input shaft and a shorter bent shifter. These are for a Cub Loboy or a Cub with a deluxe seat. Also someone was making aftermarket front weights at one time. I think Steiner was selling them. They won’t have the IH markings, but will function the same as original and are the same shape.
