Cast center weight

[Steve Metcalfe]

What's the weight of cast center for the rear of a 77 row crop?

I have a note written down that they are 438 lbs.

Here are a couple of statements from YT forums:

“According to the Oliver price book published in 1954, the cast rear wheels in place of the pressed steel adds 364 lb to the tractor.”

“We added a set of cast rims as weights to an oliver 770 which came off of an oliver 77 for a tractor pull. They added 1100 lbs. at the pull. From that we figured they are about 550 lbs. each if their scales were right.”
