6030 front weights

[Anonymous-0]

wondering if i can mount a 40 series weight bracket to the front end, if so will the two bolts hold up to a full rack of weights

I've seen 4020's with 10 suitcase wts held up by the 2 bolts in frt. Back in the 70'-80's I sold and mounted on 4020's the B&W weights that were made in San Angelo,Tx at that time.

Been there made that mistake. 2 bolts did not keep it on there for me!

I have to look it up in the parts book for a 6030 BUT the smaller framed tractor you could use that bracket BUT theres a plate that bolts on behind it that comes down and pushes on the front axle brace for support- the two bolts alone WILL NOT hold I tried it on my 4320 with 6 suit cases on it- broke off and I drove over it and then got to drag it off the road!!!
deere did have a bracket for the 6030 that uses the steel mounting brackets used for the double stack weights- the bracket bolts to that- it almost looks like a IH bracket-somewhere I have a pic of one on a 5020 if you need it.

I run 15 front weights on my 4020 when I'm plowing sod or on steep hills

Here's the part #s
R52914 ADAPTER FITTING is first bracket you referred to.

AR72132 SUPPORT is the 2nd bracket similar to double stack weight bracket but the long side pieces had no part number listed for 4020 or 6030

Thanks Jim-
heres a pic of a 5020 with the suitcase bracket on it- this is the narrow one- the one I have in the shed is the wide one- to hold like 20 50-60 series weights or like 14 fat 30 series weights. they look like a high school shop project (or IH which ever you want to say) not cast like the others but all plate steal- sort of odd.

Did you know anybody over at the B&W foundry in San Angelo, just curious.
