Wheel weight that is. Temp weights till, maybe, I pour some, but till then this will work.
1" Allthread cut and welded to 1 1/2x1/4" flat bar. Drilled bolt holes and a center 1/2" hole. I then welded the allthread to the flat bar and also plug welded it thru the 1/2" hole for extra support.

Then Mounted them to the Wheels.

put the weights on. 1 15lbs and 1 20lbs on each side and cut off the extra allthread with my Portaband.

That is it. 70 lbs on the Ag wheels.:trink40:
Did the same on the Custom 6 except I only had 10 lb. So I got a total of 40 lbs on it. Got 2 20's-2 15's- 8 10's and a couple 2 pounders for $10 at a Flea Market!:drunkie:

Just goes to show ya, a portable band saw is the most important tool to have.

Well done, Sonny!

Will JD yellow primer and Yellow paint stick to plastic? I might have to try painting them to match?:trink40:

Nice job! Krylon has a paint called fussion that is a plastic paint that you can get at any wally world or hardware store. They have a yellow that is very very close to jd yellow. The stuff works great too.

Great job! Always some great fabrication on this site!

 

[Alan_Heist]

Nice. Did you have the stuff on hand or did you buy it all? If so, how much do you think you have invested?

Now I certainly could use something like that instead of busting a nut lifting
those weights up into my rim and trying to align the threaded bolts.

Good job..........:fing32:

JD should see this.
They could manufacture a set and charge $50.00 a piece..........:banghead3

Sonny, you did a great job! Didn't Merie Merie do something similar on her GT?

When I painted my plastic wheel weights I first used krlyon paint for plastic as a primer. When fully dry I top coated with Rustoleum John Deere yellow.

Looks great!!!

Nice work Sonny, that's a slick set up!

I salvaged the allthread from where I work when we scrapped out some machines. Couple bucks for bolts and washer. $10 for the bar bell weights. So about $7 a tractor.
Tim, yes Rob and Merrie, but I had seen it years ago, just they brought back to my attention.:trink40:
