YM1700 and a 60 inch finish mower

[clemsonfor]

A very big part of that cost is shipping. Since we all know there is no such thing as 'free shipping'- that cost has to be added to the sale price. I know it costs us $15 (and a friendly relationship with our mail carrier ) each to ship each one of those weights. It would still be over $1 per pound but there is no telling how much shipping was added along the way to increase the amount we pay for the weights.

I was going to bring that up as well. Walmart may be "free shipping" but that is not free like Aaron points out. It's just built into the price.

well I bit the bullet and went to my local JD dealer and just bought some. (I figured that if they dont work correctly they will let me return them) I am heading to the property in the morning so I will post up that. I also have to install my overrun clutch I got from you Aaron. I am excited to try them both.

They fit on perfectly. Very happy with results.

Is there any reason these would not fit my YM1700?

You get FREE shipping to any Lowes store for pickup for the same price. I have 2 of these already. My YM2610 does have the 6ft Brush mower from King Kutter. Without the weights, the front wheels get off the ground if things bounce. With the 2 weights, 84-lbs, it tames everything. The front bar can handle 6 of these weights.

If you paint them Yanmar black, it will look Yanmar OE for the weights.

Yea i was debating getting 2 or 4... but i just grabbed 4... i figured i can always take off a few.

I am feeling more confident in a 60" finish mower at this point.

I just added the BLACK Yanmar weights to the above posting. Just in cause you wanted the weights to be more Yanmar color matched.

Here's one with faded and lite rusty Yanmar weights.
