I gave Burgh's a call this morning. He said they don't have any Ford suitcase weights. If you've ever met Charlie Burgh (died probably 13 years ago) he looked exactly like Col. Sanders of the fried chicken fame. He was a completely unique man. The first time I met him, he was sitting on a golf cart and I was there to pick up an engine for a tractor. He asked if he could help me, I told him I was there for the tractor engine, so he told me to hop on his cart and he would drive me to it. I hopped on and we drove from the driver's door of my truck, around the front of it, to the passenger side of my truck, and the engine was sitting right there. I will never forget that sense of humor. His 2 sons run the place now and have been scrapping a lot of the really old stuff.
alg,
Thanks for the leads. I've never heard of Keller's. I will be sure to save that contact information for the next time.
John B. NE in,
I really appreciate the offer! If May 25th wasn't the height of corn planting, I would come out to meet you, regardless. I always am happy to meet a fellow tractor nut! What kind of tractor pull is it that you are bringing scales all the way from Indy?
To all who helped,
Thanks to all of you. Because of the help, I was able to locate weights today near Akron, OH at a New Holland dealership. I just got back from the 4 hour round trip drive and now I have a bed full of weights, 2 cans of blue paint, and a nice New Holland AG (yellow and blue)toolbox! hahaha I couldn't resist buying it. Those weights sure are bigger than I remember and 100 lbs is a lot heavier than I remember! When did thy start making 100 lbs that heavy? I guess it's been a long winter for me. No end in sight now, probably going to be a wet wet muddy spring.
Oh well... Thanks again to everyone, I couldn't have gained 1000 lbs without you.
