2N weights

[Dave H (MI)]

Anybody ever need to add weight to a 9N/2N front end? Only weights I seem to be able to find a reference to are axle weights for the rear end. I have a 5' Ford blade that makes the tractor feel a little light in the front. "N" weights do not seem to be a common item.

Factory type 2n weights are very rare. You can easily add weight if you use 8n front rims.

Naw...believe it or not, the only reason I kept this derelict was because I thought the skinny front wheels was kinda cute. After looking at hundreds of Craigslist pages I have the rare part down pretty well. Now I am wondering if anyone ever fabbed up a little bracket for the front and hung a small suitcase or two up there?

My favorite pic of innovative front end weights. Makes your N "High Compression" too ;-}

That's my kind of thinking.
Make a flat bar that bolts onto the front axle in the same holes as one of those N style bumpers do. Find some small 40lb suitcase weights like for Kubotas or LGTs. Hang a rack of them across the front like the big boys do.
Would look awesome. More interesting and functional than an oh-too-common N style bumper.

Probably more effective than an "N" style bumper too!!! Gonna have to put that on me "to do" list.
It'll take me a while to get to it but I'll see what I can come up with and put up a pic when I do.

Nice tractor....with or without the "weights"(?)
