Wheel Weights

I saw this on CL Complete set of wheel weights for ford tractors.

To me the price seems way too high. Am I correct in my thoughts?

I don't think you will do a whole lot better.

Yes the price is high. Probably close to the top of the market. Then again, you would be getting about 750 lbs of weight for your tractor and it can be darned hard to find any weights, much less the right ones when you want them.
Consider that you'll pay at least $500 for a set of light pie weights = ~825 lbs, it doesn't seem so bad.
Also, if you ever decided to upgrade to a newer Ford - 600, 800, 2000, 3000, 2600, etc you could save the weights as they would fit the newer tractors all the way up through 1983.
But of course I would offer $400 and see what he says.

I'm not sure about the front ones. If i was going to
look at them I would pull the front rim off my
tractor and take it with me to check for size.
Price is a little on the high side but it is the
season and most people put things a little higher on
CL cause they know someone will offer less.

I expect they will bring the asking price.

I've got the same rear weights for my loader tractor. Not to hard to
put on with a Handy Man jack. Hard to pick back up if you lay them
flat on the ground.

hate to admit it but I had to look up "handy man jack". we called em "bumper jacks". guess I have to get out more often.

Lots of different types of bumper jacks were made. Lots came with new cars. I believe the Handy Man is one of the best. May be the only kind you can still buy new. A must have around the farm. They are "Handy".

It might have to do with what part of the country you're in.
When I lived in CO, UT, AK they called them handyman jacks.
Came back here and no one knew what I was talking about.
They call them highlift jacks here.
I read FD's post and didn't even notice as I'm used to both terms.

I luv eating a NY Ham and Swiss Hero.
Went to Ohio some years back on business stopped in a sandwich shop and ordered up a Hero. You would a thought I just landed from Mars.
