wheel weight technical drawing

Does such a thing exist?

I have access to scrap steel and could easily fab up some of my own. But the time it would take to draw it and retrofit when they didn't fit the first time would kill the project.

Figured someone out here may have a drawing with some dimensions that would work.

Thanks,

Cam

Maybe you posted about this before but I didn't see it.
It would help if you gave us more info such as the type of weights you are wanting to install and why they don't bolt onto your existing wheels as is.

I don't own any weights, but I have significant available steel. Which is what some versions seem to be. I want to fabricate some from nothing.

There are lots of schemes for adding weight.
Here is a set of elevator counter weights that I added to a 2N some years ago.
They were 50 lbs each slab.

If you have access to a full blown machine shop you can do all kinds of cool things.
My pal Kenny had these segments flame cut out of scrap 2" plate and then let the project languish.
I traded him a front end loader for them and finished them.
Each segment weighed 80 lbs and there were 9 per side.
The plates they mounted to weigh about 150 lbs so about 870 lbs per wheel.
Alas, they sold the machine shop and auctioned off all the equipment so those days are gone.
I had them on a 4000 for a while but then sold the tractor. I still hadn't finished them when I took the photos. I still have the weights.

Here's what SadieMae wears year round (cuz I'm too lazy to remove them). There are 4 pieces about 50#s each half per side. Plus tires are loaded with beet juice and come winter I install a 30 gallon drum of concrete, about 500#s.
