MF 202 wheel weights

[jesse CA]

Hello All
Does any one know what type of rear wheel weight would fit the original rear wheels on this MF202 as pictured. the rim is a 6 loop rim mounted to the original MF cast center how would you identify the correct one?

pictured below is an old photo taken from the owners manual these weights would have been the original type wich bolted to the outside of the cast center wheel disk these are these seem nearly impossible to find

Dad bolted on the MH stepped type weights on his Dieselmatic years ago, because that's what we had on hand. Original will be a challenge to find.

My 2135 had these weights on it.

Thank you for the reply Dieseltech.

 

[jesse CA]

PTfarmer thank you for replying. those weights appear to fasten to the original cast center wheel disk using the four threaded bolt holes

 

[ptfarmer]

Yes they do use those 4 threaded bolt holes.

I found a pair of rear weights new from a place called Taylor foundry in Texas but they are only 170 lbs each and they are not stackable but per the sales person they would bolt directly to the center casting
of my wheels

I have a set of original wheel weight on mine I can get you a casting number from them if you would like.

My35 Utility has originals, too.

The MF stackable wheels weights are 97lbs each.

The stackable wheel weights used a adaptor plate for the stackable weights to bolt on to. The adaptor plates used the holes on the 4 holes on wheel centers.

Bumping this old thread out of sheer curiosity. Anyone have an idea how much the weights on my 35 Utility and MaineJohn's weigh? (both pictured above)

I can't hardly pick it up when I went to reinstall it and I'm sure it'd have broken my bathroom scale.

I don't see them in the online MF parts book. All I found were the ones that ptfarmer posted, the stackables. I can easily lift 100lbs lol, so I'm sure mine and MaineJohn's weigh more than that...

shaeff just bumping an old thread I wonder if we have any new members here that may have any new information.
Curious as to the actual weight of mine. I have a 1962 Work Bull
202 with a Davis 102 loader the rear tires are calcium filled with the cast iron weights front tires had been loaded too. I now have a Woods BH 9000 hoe mounted on it.

I have a set of Ford cast iron wheel weights that I am looking to part with

I have a 1958 MF-65 with a Davis 102 loader on it. The tires are ballasted but there are no wheel weights. The rear spin out wheels have the 4 holes for wheel weights. I am curious what the original wheel weights would look like and how much they weigh.

here is a link to another subject on the weights. They look to be the same as what I have on mine. I just removed the whole assembly because I am installing new tires and ballast.
One of my rear rims needed to be replaced. The bolts for the weights came out easy from the cast iron centers. I can attest that they are all of 150 pounds.
I removed the calcium chloride from the tires and installed Citrastar. The liquid weight per tire is 509.

My backhoe weighs about 1400 lbs. and I need the extra weight from that to do the type of work I do otherwise this tractor is useless to me without it.
