Front wheel weights - 8N

David from Kansas

Well-known Member
Have a question for you 8N folks. I came across a pair of front wheel weights that are marked Ford 8N and have the name of a foundry in Minnesota on them. I think they also said 100 lbs. on them. They appear to fit a 18-19" wheel. They have four 5/8 mounting holes. Has anyone ever seen any of these? Any idea of value?
 
Though not common, they are not rare.

You might get $200/pr IF you find the right buyer.

Can you post pictures of the weights with FORD logo and foundry TM close-ups or email them to me please in jpg format? I've seen many weight sets for the 16" fronts but never any with any markings. Later Ford 8N 's offered 5.50 x 16 fronts for HD use and 6.00/6.50 x 16 fronts for use with FELs. I'm not sure when they offered the wheel weights. Do the weights look like these:

These require 4 square head bolts for proper assembly.

Opps, Hutchinson, Kansas would be correct, NOT Minnesota. Also, the FORD 8N must be cast into the other side of the weight as it is not on the side that can be seen, but I know it was there. These weights had a little paint left on them before I repainted them and it looked to be Ford gray. As can be seen in the pics, those weights fit perfectly on my 18" JD front wheels.
