Oliver 1365 - Weight Issues

[CreekBottom]

Good morning everyone!

I have a 1365 Oliver, and bought it so that I could do some plowing, disking, and tilling work. However, it seems that the tractor is way to light in the front end as I can't plow/disk sideways on a hill or straight up hill. The hills aren't very steep either so just wondering if this tractor was meant to have weights on the front to help keep the front end down, and help the front tires dig in more. Any help would be appreciated.

Well if the front is coming up you need weight.A weight bracket from about any of the Fiat built tractors will bolt right on the front or its easy enough to modify something off an IH
or Deere to fit.I have a bracket off a large JD garden tractor in my Long 460 which is about identical to the 1365 except its a 3 cylinder.
