Ford 5000 with 5 front weights

[lenray]

I have this Ford 5000 Narrow front that came with 5 Ford front weights. I only use the tractor with a rear blade. I don't like all that extra weight hanging off the front. I know about the Market place to sell on here. I looked on FB Marketplace to see if I could find some there to get an approx. value on them. I am looking for an approx. value to put on them. Ideas appreciated. Will try to sell here in Michigan....Thanks for any help.......

Not sure on price but i sold 10 75 lb weights from a 5600 ford years ago for $1 a lb. Tractor puller came from 3 states away to get them. Only reason i quit using them was i put a front end loader on tractor. Used tractor for 10-12 years with the weights. Never had a problem. Even carried twin 60 gallon water tanks on each side of tractor during planting season.

Probably the "pillow" weights, not suitcase weights, right? Less of a market for them, but not as many available, either. Should get at least $1/lb., probably a bit more

I seen them called "watermelon" weights down here, but "pillow" is good also....

I have 3 weights on mine, wish I had one more.

Got these 3 for a little less than a Buck a lb, but was from a friend.
