5600 wheel weights

My Dad bought a 5600 new in 78. It has 18.4x 30 on the rear. The tires were loaded with one three bolt wheel weight on each side.The weights have no casting numbers or brand on them. Shortly before Dad passed we put new tubes and tires on but did not refill with brine. It is a little light now for how I use it. I have watched craigslist in many sites for over a year hoping to see someone listing some weights off a 56-66-7600 for sale. What other tractor/weight will fit this tractor? It does have power adjust rims with cast centers. Al
 
Those are probably the same weights I have on my 7000. That particular size seems to be hard to find. I'm pretty sure they were offered with any model Ford with30" or 34" cast-center, power adjust wheels from the late '60's or early '70's on. About all you can do is measure between the holes and see if you can find a match.
 

Is there a reason you don't want to ballast the tires?

I removed the calcium from my tires when I fixed a tube leak and refill with a -20 blue washer fluid/water mix that keeps me good to -6 degrees. Which is good enough for me in SW Pa, at least most of the time. I can put tractor in side if I need.

I actually found a sale at Walmart for the washer fluid, only paid $1.30 or $1.40 a gallon. Got a 75 gallon in 6 gallon cases. Yes it was a bit of lifting butt cheap. A garden hose adapte/ tire stem adapter online and a harbor fright pump.

I think 16.9/30 take about 70 for 75% full at approx. 8 lbs a gallon is 560 lbs a tire. Plus you only need to fill as much as you want.

If this isn't the route you want to go, I'm sorry for the wasted read.
 
I don't know what these fit or where you're located but these might be worth a glimpse.
Auction closes tomorrow.
I was also watching some tires on this auction till thet went sky high. Called the seller and said I didnt know when I could come and get them if I won. He said no problem. They would work with a shipper or put them off to the side till I got there.
