What wheel weights for 73 3400

[dsebens]

So what are my options for weights? Im running a loader and currently using a 55 gallon drum counter weight.
Im thinking about using suitcase weights on a mount over the axle trumpets. But what about wheel weights. My wheels are 24s. What pies? Will any traditional round weights fit?

A couple of options:

1. Load the tires with liquid ballast

2. Ford made stackable round wheel weights for those 24" wheels:

They're probably not available new any longer but you could check around at salvage yards.

Forgot to mention, I do have coolant in the tires. Thats about 800. Would like to double that though

Some idea of your location would help.
Does your tractor have the cast steel
centers and special 'top hat' lug nuts?
I think most of the Utility and Industrial
models did. If so you can't use the 24 pie
weights and will be limited to the
stackable type weights like Sean mentioned.
If you have the pressed steel centers
I think my pal Kenny will be selling a set
of heavy 24 pie weights soon. The 24s are
the hardest to find of those type of
weights.

Im from Champaign Illinois.
Yes it is cast centers. I dont know about the lug nuts. So do I have to be looking for Ford stackable or are they standard at all?

also made an Over axle weight for the 3400s that I have seen on several loader models.

Here's one rigged up. I think the fender bolts hold it up.
