Rear Wheel Weights?

Get some long all thread and put a nut on each side of the wheel to hold the stud, then just a nut on the end. Would be alot easier to mount...

Weights are all painted up, will let them dry for a couple of days then mount them up.

Will post pictures of them on the tractor when I get to that point.

I just bought a cheap parts tractor. It runs! Its a kubota b6000e with a cccw pto. I bought it strictly for the ccw woods rm59 finish mower, kubota dozer blade (no springs, actual dozer blade) and a set of kubota wheel weights. Then i'll sell the tractor for more than i paid for it! Lol I just got the Kubota wheel weights off (8-16 rear tires). They will fit perfect on the outside, but the centers are open almost like they can go on the inside of the wheel. The center opening is 7 1/2" and our rear hub/flange looks to be 6 1/2" so I think I'm going to try to put them on the inside for a cleaner look and availability to put on another set down the road if needed. Idk how much they weigh yet, but they feel like 80-90lbs each. Hopefully I can get my wheels off this week to get them painted up and attempt to mount the weights on the inside (which would actually be the outside, since my wheels are flipped).

Thats kind of a neat tractor.

Wheel weights mounted up and DONE tonight.

Attached a pipe to my loader with some chain and clamps and just drove up to the wheels with the weights on the pipe. Worked out real well.

Those look great, and will really improve traction for your machine.

I found weights that were a good fit except they covered the valve stems. Adding curved valve stem extenders from an RV parts dealer solved the problem.

I posted a thread about this last year.
