Default Source for wheel weights on Net

Anyone have a good source for wheel weights on the Net. Done a couple of searches and haven't found any. Would like to do a price check before I buy from my local dealer who is REAL proud of most everything he sells. Quoted me a $300 price for a bolt-on edge for my 84" New Holland bucket and I just bought one for my 72" Bobcat bucket for $120 and BC parts are not known for being cheap.

I would call a couple of dealers in the area. Steel prices are up and weights are not something that I think would be economical to ship.

After looking for rear wheel weights for a NH TC-45D, I finally settled on weights from Taylor Foundry a little while ago. A link is at: Taylor Foundry-Manufacturer of Gray Iron Castings and Tractor Weights-Serving the Agricultural, Industrial and Construction Industries. They were less expensive than New Holland weights but the shipping of course added significantly to the price. They said they would paint them to match the tractor, I understood but the white they used doesn't match the NH off white color.

Also, the company doesn't seem to know or care about proper painting techniques. One set were stuck together as if they had dipped them and then immediately set one on top of the other to ship!!! It took a lot of prying with a large bar to separate them---and that of course damaged the paint. I really don't like rusty looking weights on a nice looking trractor so I am going to paint them Blanca white. I will have to figure out an easy way to put them on (one set of two on each wheel, each individual weight weighing 105 pounds).

They will sell them to any tractor dealer that can sell new tractors, I believe I was told.

I've got a set of 95 lbs weights for a Ford tractor sitting in my barn if you want em.
I''ll take $80+ shipping on them.

I don't know exactly what they are supposed to fit but I do have a picture with the part number. I made a plate to mount to the wheel of my 3910 with studs on this plate to fit these weights. Had them on there about a year now and there still good and tight, with loaded tires and these weights I have alot of traction, especially when I take the loader off.
