How much do cast centers weigh?

KFFarm · Sep 10, 2021

Does anyone have an idea of what the various 38 cast centers that will fit the 3.25 inch IH axle weigh? As far as I know, there are three types. The larger hole (706) style, the 12 hole common on XX66S, and finally the ones mostly found on the later model tractors, 86s - 2+2s.

Thanks in advance!!

Well never put one on the scales but probably over 350 lbs as in my younger dumber days more then i could lift and in the days before the Cheery picker it was walk to the door of the shop stick my head out the door and yell for the neighbor as he was temper tested up to a 55 gallon barrel of Hy Tran from the ground to the bed of a 1973 F 250 4X4 high boy as you young pups call them setting on 12x33x16.5's by himself , six I H donut wheel weights three in each hand like he was carrying two lunch boxes . Twist the square drive off a 3/4 ratchet with out a cheater and not some cheap import either . He was pure ANIMAL . And ya NEVER OFFERED to help him bale hay unless you were the one driving the tractor and NOT on the waqon or working in the Mow . His stinking bales weighed as much as i did .

I got a 806 wheatland center on my yard drag, i never weighed it either, but it makes it cut pretty good,the yard drag is made out of three grader blades, about a 4ft and a 5 ft,and a 6 ft blade,bolted in tandem, but anyway i figure it weighs as much as 3 IH donuts, which is 450 lbs!
