5101E with 19.5-24 Rear R4 Needing OEM Rear Wheel Weights info

[Zebrafive]

I am curious as to what the rear weights weigh. It looks like 48KG, but it's not real clear in the picture.

MVR, What is the OD of those rear weights ?

18" diameter.

Only 38 KG, That's why I had to have so many. These are factory Mahindra weights for this tractor. I also understand that I had to go heavier than normal because of the R4 tires, (all 4 tires are fluid filled as well as all the additional cast iron) but std R1s would have been a nightmare. The property was burned 2 years previous to my purchase of this tractor and was full of sticks that are like railroad spikes. I have 10 ply tires and have not had a flat. :thumbsup: But traction was sacrificed to achieve this or spend BIG money for stubble tires.

... Is anybody running steel wheel spacers to get their desired width ?

??

IF I run Rear 4" Steel Wheel Spacers : I can flip my wheel centers to Dome INWARDS, swap tires to opposite sides for same width as now & run the 350lb weights on the outsides
OR
add 4" spacers & run the 350lb weights on INSIDES with my current setup.

BUT that would be a real PITA removing a fluid filled tire with a 350lb weight bolted to it IF I ever had to remove the tire & wheel ..... IDK

Does JD offer OEM rear wheel spacers ?
Mine are 8 on 8" BC with 6" center pilot hub & 20mm x 1.5 wheel bolts.

Don't you have the two piece wheels? My 16.9-24 r-1's are mounted that way. I can flip the tire, or mount on either side of the dish or flip the dish. Basically gives me 8 settings but with the cab I think i can't use them all. I set them as wide as possible and have never looked back. The 90lb weights really don't add much. I'd love to go to a 500lb weight on each side.

Yes I have two piece wheels but the 350lb Lonestar weights only fits the Centers Domed OUT side of the part around the wheel bolts on 24" Rims.



There's not enough room to run a 7" Thick Weight on my current inside.

The Motorsport Steel Wheel Spacers are a LOT cheaper than the Unferferth Spacers.

I ordered 4" 75lb steel rear wheel Spacers, enough antifreeze to completely fluid fill all 4 tires & a pair of 350lb rear wheel weights today for my 5101E.
I've gotta get it ready so i can start using it.

 

[Brown Dog]

I fluid filled both rear tires today with 70gals per tire & 25gals in each front tire.

The extra weight really makes a difference.

Now ALL four of my JD are fluid filled front and rear

I've got a pair of 350lb rear wheel weights ordered that I'm adding too

With 24" Rear Rims (R4 Tires) your kindly limited on wheel weight choices :-(

 

[RedNeckRacin]

Ah I gotcha. So how much total weight did you end up adding?
