The big ones for the rear, are 150lbs each,the round little one's for the steer tires, it says in the owners manual i think are 42 and 1/2. You putting on some rears, they work better with square headed bolts if you'r going threw the ears, om the weights.

Thank you sir. I have added those numbers to my service manual.
Have a good week-end,

You can use a 6-point headed Bolt if you grind two opposing Corners off. That will leave you with a semi Square bald head that will fit in the square hole.

Yes you can, but i was referring to the ear's of the weights, if he was going to attach them that way!

when YOU'RE A YOUNG MAN, YOU CAN SINGLE-HAND THE REARS, and walk across the barnyard holding one. When you're old, you tend to just stare at them, think how you can get the front end loader to pick them up.

Actually, the books say the rear weights are 145#. The hardware adds 5#.

Yes. That is what the book says, and the originals for the H and M may have been just 145#, but since they are a rough casting, I think the weight can vary. The later style of split weights will definitely weigh 150#, if not more.

Oh yea the days of grabbing one in each hand are long gone same as lifting two ft 100# from the ground and hanging both at the same time on the ft. of a 1066 . Just like my one friend who would grab two in each hand and walk across the yard like carrying two lunch boxes . He died last year . same with me there is no head setting by myself anymore , found that out on a 706 gasser when i went to lift it up over my alignment studs i could not make the last two inches , and to think of all the Detroit 6-71 heads i set by myself and all the 477-534 Ford V 8 gass heads in and N sires truck when they were eating valves like M&M's . Now after having open heart surgery i am struggling with 40 # boxes of cat litter . Once a king always a King , BUT once a KNIGHT is enough.

The last time I hung those rear wheel weights, I used my cherry picker and a lifting strap. Still needed a little muscle to get all the holes lined up, but No way could I pick those things up and install all by myself.
