I'm sure most all 5k series takes the same weights.

I can't find any info if there is two different weights or only one.

I've been told you can run one inside the wheel & two weights outside with bolts sandwiching all three together :confused:

I'm not interested in a Rear Balast box & I already have all 4 tires Fluid Filled.

Anybody running these and / or have a link with info to share ?

The 5X20 series had two part numbers listed with a serial number break. (I am guessing a change in mounting bolt pattern?) There is only one weight listed for 5101e: R213907
JD parts shows only bolting from one side, special bolts to start (just cross drilled for a cotter pin), then using the slots of the first weight with carriage bolts to hang the next weight.
I see no reason (other than difficulty) you could not sandwich weights on both sides. I would only sandwich the inner and first outer weight, then hang the second out side weight with carriage bolts from the starter weight. Threaded rod might be cheaper than the long bolts required to sandwich the weights.

These smooth ones are Much Heavier & looks better to me being less noticeable.

Did you see NOT for 24" wheels? Use LS301Y which is a copy of the 110lb JD weight.

ANY weight you use on 24" rims HAS TO BE mounted to the DOMED side of wheel centers.

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

REALLY? No one told me that. Does that mean that I need to take mine off after 13 years???

Do you have them both inside and outside? I am thinking first picture is inside? If so that's a LOT of weights!

Yes, 1 weight inside and 5 weights out side. I had to add over 2000lbs to the tractor to get it to be able to work to it's full potential. About 11,000lbs with the loader removed. Also doubled up on front weights.
