Cub wheel weights

grandpa Love · Nov 8, 2020

Will adding wheel weights lower the center of gravity on a cub? What about fluid in tires? I have a full set , rear and fronts, thinking I should put them on my dad's tractor.

yes. any weight below the centerline of a tractor will shift that point lower and add stability.

Whether a cub's 9 h.p. engine can handle the extra load is another matter.....

I own 2 Farmall A's, 1 has the full set front and rear with filled rears, the other has the rear weights only. If and when I'm able the other one will be filled as well. There is more stability with the rears filled and weighted plus you add much more pulling power. The Cub is just a scaled down A, my opinion you can't go wrong with the weights.

My Cub has rear weights & will pull it's 4' tandem disk in soft ground with 4 concrete blocks as disk weights with no problems. Do not under estimate the pulling power of that 9 hp engine.

The only thing I found with front weights they keep the front end down more if your a little fast letting the clutch out.

That is a whole lot of truth, I'm amazed a what that little machine can do!

Fluid will lower it more then wheel weights will since the fluid will be down low and almost on the ground

I have two Cubs I use to cut grass. I put one weight on the right wheel of each one. To my seat pants they seem much more stable.

The cub I know needed a hundred or so lbs. more on the right. It had rear wheel weights and the right tire had antifreeze in it. Seemed balanced traction wise.
