Wheel weights for 8n?

[Graveyard1984]

I was wondering if there was any way to add wheel weights to the rear of an 8n. I don't want to put fluid in the back tires fluid causes contentious problems. ( i use to work in a tire shop between rusty rims haven to pump fluid in and out every time you have a flat thats just a big headache)
Just would like to add some additional weight to the rear.
Thanks

There are several types of wheel weights that will fit your N.
This type is 3 piece and weighs 225 lbs per side. If you find this type make SURE you get the locking wedges that go with them or they are unmountable. These will fit any tractor with 28" loop or hat style rear rims.

The outer weights in the second photo are a 1 piece style that weigh about 3000 lbs per side. They also fit any Ford or Ferguson with 28" rear rims.
The other ones in that photo are typical pie weights that bolt onto the lug nuts. They will fit any Ford tractor with 8 on 6" lug pattern - from 1948 to 1983.
A complete set of these are way to heavy for the splined hub on an 8N or Jubilee to support but you could just install every other pie segment (for a total of 6 per wheel) and be okay.


Here is another stackable style Ford Weight.
These bolt to the center disc and weigh about 80 lbs per weight.
You would need to install the centers from a 3000 or 3600 as they have the 3 mounting holes for these weights.
The thing to remember is the looped (or hat) rims and the center discs will interchange from 1948-83 so that gives you a lot more options.

Not sure where you are but if you check Craig's list in the Minneapolis MN area there are a couple sets of Pie Weights for sale.

Farmall wheel weights can be made to fit if you don't mind drilling holes in the centers.
