Ballast Where to get front weights

Does anyone know if TSC carries front weights in stock?Do not wan't to ups them.

TSC does not have front weights, they are usually brand specific, so only dealers carry them.
The JD weights are about 1$ a pound just to give you an idea of what they cost...

I made a front weight from a 5 gallon plastic jug that vegetable oil comes in. I filled it with concrete and then put two pieces of bent rebar in it to hang it on the front bumper. It weighs about 90-100 lbs. I plan to make one more. Total cost, about $5.00.

I called a local dealer and he said he had a couple pallets of old weights up on the hill and if I measured , he bet I could find some to work .I did find 4 I had to put bigger washers to get them to lock on . He charged me $10 each for them . They are Dakon weights and are 80 lbs. each. But they work great on my Iseki .

Are you asking about "suitcase" weights that hang off a weight bracket (usually an optional front bumper) or front wheel weights? The suitcase weights are pretty much generic at 40 pounds for the smaller ones used on garden tractors and some CUTS, and the large ones are I think close to 100 pounds. Wheel weights are sized to the rim and therefore are more model specific.
