I have to weight the front end of my 8N to counterbalance the "Earthcavator" as the original sales receipt refers to my Gannon Box Scraper.
I was going to make a bracket to hold suitcase weights but the price for those even used is ridiculous, around here anyway. Funny, I found a guy locally that has probably a couple of tons of suitcase weights. He wants 80 cents a pound because he claims that is "what they are worth" but in reality he has not sold any in 2 years ! Guess he is a classic horder.
At any rate I am going to use one of my military surplus 40 or 50 cal ammunition boxes and fill it with wheel weights that I got for free from a local tire place. These boxes are readily available on eBay for $20 to $40.
Would be great to see photos from other perhaps more clever approaches to front end weights.
