8N wheel weights

I'm thinking about drilling the wheels on "Hank" and bolting a pair of wheel weights off an old B Farmall onto him. Aside from that making him pretty wide I don't foresee any trouble. Anyone done something like this?
 
Scroll down about 4 threads and read Tall T's post about NAA wheel weights. Someone drilled his centers and aside from the extra holes it hasn't hurt them.
The correct weights for these Fords can get expensive fast. So if you have an opportunity to buy some off brand ones for cheap I wouldn't hesitate to do it.
A properly ballasted tractor is more stable and can put more of its horsepower to the ground than an unballasted one.
 
Gary, I'd get Hank a tattoo before I'd do any piercings on him that weren't necessary. I drilled my wheels for other than Ford weights, looked like Swiss cheese before I was done. I recently bought a new to me set of centers and will redo my sloppy first attempt. Good luck, measure twice drill once!
 
You might also pick up a spare pair of Ford or Fergy centers
and drill those instead so that you still have your originals.
Assuming they are the originals.
You didn't mention where you're at, but I have a set of interior
rear wheel weights I would sell. I'm in Michigan.
Shipping would obviously be a deal killer.
 
Thanks to you all for responding. I'm near Osceola, Mo. so shipping would for sure be out of the question. I'm going to go with these heavy little jewels off my junk B. Thanks, gm
 
Royce, where are you in Michigan? How much weight and
what is the sale price? I'm in Michigan also so shipping might
not be an issue

Thanks

Email is open if you want to discuss them.
I can get some pictures and send to you that way.

shouldn't be a problem.
One of my NAA's had off brand weights on it when I got it.
PO welded a nut to the side of the bolts inserted from the backside to compensate for the centers curve. worked fine.
Farmall B weights sound interesting.
Let us know how the weight/centers curves match up.
Pic installed would be nice if you do it.
