Here are install pics and discription of adding rear wheel weights on my JD 3520.

Below pic: Slide the starter weight into position. The three holes in the wheel will line up with the three holes in the starter weight that have the detent for the bolt head.

Place the bolt thru the starter hole and secure with flat washer, lock washer and nut.

Tip: I used a heavy blue paper towel to keep from scratching up the wheel with the weight.
Below pic: Shows how the starter weight should look once bolted in place.

The next step is to bolt the first add on weight to the starter weight. To do this line up the three thru holes on the add weight on with the three threaded holes in the starter weight.

Now you can theroretically (with in reason) keep adding add on weights as many as you want. Just place the correct bolts through the thru hole in the next weight and into the thread hole in the weight already installed. I went with two because any more than two will stick out past the edge of the wheel and tire.

Below pic: Shows a lawn and garder tractor weight that I will add to give it a finished look. A friend will fabricate a metal plate that will be sandwitched between add on weight one and two. The little red shims are just to hold the center weight in place for the picture.

Hope this helps anyone wanting to add rear wheel weights to their tractor. I did experience some difficulty in getting the proper bolts from the dealer to install the weights correctly. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
Sincerely, Dirt
