I found a rather unusual front end weight. I'm wondering if it could be one of those funny shaped front end weight for a SC or DC. Kind of pie shaped with 5554A or 555AA cast on it for a casting # or part #. Any body have one of those laying around that could check a part number for me. Thanks Gerald
 
If they look like this you have a rare attachment!

Was an option on late model SC and DC tractors equipped with eagle hitch. They helped keep the front end down when operating eagle hitch equipment.

5554A is the front weight for S/SC that fits in the front belly behind the grill. Can't remember if the radiator is in the way to remove/install.
 
Are these sought after. Were they a option. Are they common. What are they worth. Thanks again Gerald
 
Pastor John, Can you tell me the part number on those weights you have on your SC? I have a set of those sitting in the barn. I found a bulletin that states there were different weights for the narrow front and wide front of this design.
Thanks, Bob
 
Bob I?m going out tomorrow to the farm and will get the number for you

I?m posting a picture I have of a DC weight.

It shows two different styles
because wide front end steering rods need clearance by the weights it?s the same for a SC although they are a different
size.

If you have
weights with the ?notch? it will work with both a narrow and wide front ends, but....if you don?t they will only work on a narrow row crop tractor

Pastor John, These are the weights I have. Looks like yours. Which probably isn't going to work since I have a wide front I wanted to put on it.

I didn?t get a chance to go out to the farm today but those look like row crop weights. You might be able to trade someone for a different set.

Either way those weights are valuable and scarce as hens teeth, hold on to them!
