front weights

[tonyw]

I'm having no luck in finding a cheap set of front suitcase-type weights. Has anyone built their own?
I'm thinking of using a surplus ammo can(filling it with lead,concrete,etc.) and bolting it on. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc.?
Thanks!!

Golfgar4,
Thanks! I should've given that a shot before posting my question! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
Thanks to you too, Wichiwichi; I'll try your suggestion!

I got an old die section from a local factory and had it cut into 1 foot square sections at about 3" thick. Welded a chunk of angle iron on the top and hang them on the mounting plate of my snow blade. They weigh about 80 lbs. each. Works great.

Tony,
I added 151 lbs to the front of mine with surplus weights from an excersize machine, relatively cheap to purchase.

I have to admit, mine doesn't look no where near as nice as those.
