Weights for B

[hadley]

I have a 51 B that I put a 3 pt hitch on. What I need is a way to get some more front end weight. I am looking for some front wheel weights that would fit, I don"t care what kind as this is a working tractor not a show piece. Or some engine side weights. Also, anyone have any idea how much the engine weights weigh per piece. I have already loaded both front tires adding 50# and added a homemade wishbone weight on the front axle that added another #50 but it is still too light in the front.

There's a set of B engine weights for sale in the Classifieds section of the other AC forum

Engine weights either 75lb. or 85lb. each. I'm pretty sure their 85 pounds though. kip

also possible to add a c-channel on each side like an IB or WD and stick out a foot past the radiator.. Lots of stack weights can go up front.
Bolt to bell housing in back, and bracket on heavy plate behind radiator wraparound.

I have a set of side weights that will fit on a B or C,that i would sell. But I think you would have to be close enough to come and get them. becaus of there weight I think shipping would be very expensive.

Here it is with all my weights on it and I still can not put any more firewood in the box or the front end will not stay on the ground.

If you add too much weght it may not lift the front end but may bend your lift supports along the side of the seat. If you have verticle supports attached to the draw bar you will be OK. I bent one of mine lifting out a stubborn fence post.
