I had a pair of domed, cast iron wheel weights from an old John Deere model M that have been sitting unused for the last 30 years. As I remember, these weights were for the front wheels on the M. I walked over and measured them the other day and the diameter was perfect for the 9.5 x 22 rear rims on my TU205F. The inside dome fits over all axle bolts with room to spare and the outside diameter matches the flat of the rim perfectly. The only modification needed was to drill two new holes for attachment to the Iseki rim, a job easily accomplished with either a drill press or a 1/2 inch hand drill. Although I didn't weigh them, I would estimate them to be about 100 lbs. each, adding some nice weight for the loader. Any tractor bone yard would have a great selection of old wheel weights.
