Wheel weights

[mike69440]

How did you mount the weights on the L39 Rim? I have an L39 as well and I am going to add RimGuard but I was thinking of some weights on the rims as well.

I was working a a great shop. Bought Durabar Continuous Cast Iron Bar Stock Leader and Steel Alternative | Dura-Bar slugs and they turned them on a big lathe. Inner weights act as 1" wheel spacers also.

Without access to a big lathe from a loving place of work and the money one spends for the cast ingot from a place like (Peterson Steel Corporation) then take the ingot to a machine shop capable of machining something that big, I can see $1,000.00/wheel. The cost might be a liitle less if the ingot is cut to fit a tractor without lathe work but I think some big holes still have to be drilled, say like 3/4" size.

So saying that one has 4 ingots at 2" thick x 16" round per side to get the required weight, that some serious 3/4" hole drilling.
