Thanks to all. I found the bolts needed and torqued them down hard. Nasty noise is gone. Now to figure out how to remount the wheel weight by myself. They are tough to sling on an engine hoist, but I think I can figure it out. Thanks again.
 
Run a strap around the tire, ans through the weight, lift on the strap at the top of the tire and it will pull the weight up and in. JimN
 
Yes those wts arent fun to mount. My loader sith the forks works the best. Maybe put the wt on when the tire is laying down then use a cherry picker to lift the wt mounted on the center and tire together.
 
Hpw i mount wheel weights. When I worked for an Allis Chalmers dealer I mounted one piece weights (300?) by myself.
I would set the weight up on blocks and run a punch through the bolt hole and as a pry lever move the weight into place. Then put a bolt in any of the other holes. I would move the punch around to get the next bolts in. I weighed 150 pounds at the time.
 
That's how I've put mine on my BN and it works well.

But those are cast wheels. I'm wonderin', at least on the one with his stamped wheel, if it wouldn't be easier to put the weight on the floor and hoss the rest on top of it. I suspect tire, rim and stamped wheel still weigh less than the weight, and they're easier to get a handle on.

Just a thought. Works better if he's mounting the weight on the outside of the dish.

I don't mind hard work, but I really hate to work too hard. ;8^)
 
Well, I got it, using pretty a portion of everybody's reponses. I sat it on my floor jack, and found two long 1/2" rods, and pushed those through opposite holes. Then I could lift it into place and once it was inside of the lugs, it pretty much was home. Got one bolt started loose, turned the wheel so that it was hanging on that one, and punch-aligned the rest. Took it out and mowed a bit with it, and everything is fine. I think the neighbor will be real happy with it. I just hated to see it sitting in the elements rusting away, so now he has something that will start and run dependably, and maybe get some use. It does need several oil changes to get all of the old sludge washed out. I am sure he will be able to give his grandson a few tractor rides as well. My one grandson is so spoiled by my tractors that now when he gets to a place like Home Depot with a display of lawn mowers he can sit on, he gets discusted because there no one will fire it up and give him a ride.

Thanks again guys.
 
A friend of mine made a bracket shaped like a capital C, but straight on bottom. He hooks it in center hole of weight and raises with his engine hoist. top is tall enough to pass over the tire.
