My new 533 was delivered Saturday. Seems to be everything that I expected.

I already had a spare set of the old style front wheel weights for Ford and Ferguson front wheels and planned to use these on this tractor as it has the 4 bolt holes in the front rims for mounting them, and I will need about 200 pounds of front weight.

Unfortunately, the new design front axle extends too far into the wheel dish so these weights will not work on the 533.

My dealer priced new 60 lb. suitcase weights to me for $90 each but I would need 4 of those and do not wish to spend that much money for front weights.

Does anyone know if the older style MF suitcase weights will fit the 533 weight bracket? If so, I would expect that I could find some used ones.

Thanks, in advance.
