900 wheel weights

[toolz]

Tried this yesterday, but it went away. Are there any rear wheel weights out there that weigh about 150-175 lbs that will fit my 900 with 34" wheels? I have those big thick ones, but they are too heavy for the pulling class that I run in. Thanks for your help. Kevin

Toolz i have yet to run across any of those type of weights i did find me some IH d style ones an made me a ring for the wheels with 4 rods on it so that i could slip them on hope this helps

Thanks, JH. That"s what I figured I"d have to do. Just trying to keep her as stock appearing as possible. I"ve got a few weights around, so it"s time to get out the welder. Thanks again- Kevin

Yes they made 150 lb weights that will fit.

JH- It ended up at 8300 without weights and fluid. I hung on 300lbs of suitcase weights, and pulled in 8650. 12 in the class, and I got lucky and won it. The old hog just kept on chuggin and passed #2 by about 15 feet. The Case fans sure liked it- we don't have too many Case tractors show up. I'll be pulling this 900 some more this year. Had 90 tractors in all, made a day out of it. Didn't do so well with my IH560, but I'm not complaining. Been to 4 pulls so far, and placed 5 times. The 900 is a '59, so it's got the inline pump. It aint no beauty, but it sure runs good. I'm heading up to the Penfield, IL show this weekend and hope to do some plowing and pulling. The feature tractor is Case this year, should be well over 2000 tractors total (all brands). Thanks for the post- Kevin

Sure would like to find a couple of them. If you know of any, please let me know. Thanks- Kevin

My dad and I pull a 900 and a 930. We use the 150# weights you are talking about. They used them on the DO and 730 Orchards alot. We may have some extra we could sell. How many do you need?

im glad to hear that the ole girl done good mine is 1958 model with a rotary pump i won with mine but those 720 deeres give me a hard time i have mine restored she is a beauty also i pull against several 930s sometimes i win sometimes i dont i just do it to have a good time an thats what its all about is having fun

JH- I"ve got a 930 also, a chain drive wheatland, but my club is "59 and older, so I can"t pull it. It"s pretty rough anyway- future project I guess. Pulling should be about the fun, but some of these guys take it way too seriously. I don"t see the fun in winning if you have to ignore the rules to do it.

we've got a 1030 we dual up and pull at 12000 in granny... not very fast, but usually wins by several feet.

Can use the same Case wieghts off the Case S, D, and others that weigh around 150lbs? Case umber is 5145A or set number A1041AA. I pull A 910B once in awhile and with no weights and low fuel I been able to get down to 7500. Since I like to keep fuel in the tractor I added one set of weights and then use suitcase weights to get to 8500.

Caseman- Found those numbers in the CaseIH online parts thing, and just for grins, checked at IH- retired, of course. The Case national convention is at the Penfield, IL show this weekend, so I hope to find some there. I'm surprised you can get that 910 down to 7500. Mine's at 8300 bare, no way I could find another 800# to take off. I put a plow ring right on the drawbar support, and the frontend sure gets light. My club doesn't allow front weights. You have the same problem with yours? Max hitch height is 18". Thanks- Kevin
