I bought a set of John Deere front wheel weights (part number 1826R), This set is different from A1827R because that wheel weight has the notch for the valve stem. The Unstyled A parts manual mentions a j hook to mount this wheel weight . I strongly suspect this weight is for a steel wheel but I haven?t found any definite proof. I have some questions about mounting this this to the tractor wheel. Does it take 3 or 4 j bolts to mount? If it is 3 bolts what is the 4th hole for? Also did the use a square nut or a heavy hex nut? What size J bolt did they use? The holes are 3/4 of an inch but I haven?t found a supplier of j bolts of that size and the largest I found was 5/8 of an inch bolts. What manual discusses these wheel weights? I found mention of the J bolt for mounting in the Unstyled A parts manual but no mention of the part number for the wheel weight or the wheel weight. The Unstyled A book by Wes Malcolm also doesn?t mention this option. I could only find very limited references about these wheel weights and was wondering how many sets are out there. Thanks for your help.
 
This is an original J-hook. Very hard to find. I thought they just used 2 per wheel.

Thanks so much for the response. I was expecting this j hook to look completely different. Any chance that I would be able to get a tracing of the hook and dimensions or would you be willing to sell the hook? Thanks again.
 
My guess is that the hook shown is made to fit both the flat and round spokes. I would also like to put a pair on my unstyled A for plowing. I have some F&H W-161 weights that I think would work if I had some bolts.
 
David is right. It is made for both the round spoke and flat spoke wheel.Not for sale, but I will trace it for you.
 
I have a set of four original J-Hooks I'd sale. If you're interested you can call me @ 815-275-3273. Carl
