Anyone have pictures of how to hang these weights on my tractor? Thanks.

The only way to have a picture of that is to take it after you build your bracket. The only factory weights for a 960 were a cast iron weight box that bolted to the four holes. These are hard to find and very pricey when they come up for sale. The weights in your picture appear to be some that came on a smaller X000 Ford. You can use them by building a rectangular bracket out of half inch plate. It will be open on top and bottom. One long side has four holes to take the bolts that go into the bolster. The short sides will be about five inches. These four side pieces will be about four-five inches high. This measurement needs to be 1/4 inch less than the vertical measurement inside the "hook" of the weights. Square headed bolts with nuts go up through the weights from underneath to lock them onto the bracket.
 
Wow. Sorry I worded that poorly. I
should have said ,do any of y'all
have pictures of your tractor with
these kind of weights mounted. But
"showcrop" gave some nice
directions on making a bracket.
Thanks.

Here is a pic of my 9000 with its slightly modified factory bracket. You can just see half of the head of one of the bolts that goes into the front of the bolster. This bracket goes down each side of the bolster, but you can't do that on your 960. The piece of strap that holds the all thread that holds the weights in place is an add-on to make removal and replacement much faster than using the bolts from underneath. So if you remove the extras from what you see here you will have the rectangle that I described.

I have a set of the original weights listed on this sites photo ads section, Iowa, 04/17/17. Freight might be a killer though!
