"Ford Guy" Just 1 more question, Rear Wheel We

Sorry guys, just one more question, I promise. Having had the chance now to do a better inspection of my new TO30, I realized that aside from the FEL, rear blade, bush hog, tire chains, and manuals, it also comes with rear wheel weights. This is great because with the rear scraper and chains, the rear weights will help a lot with traction when clearing snow. I have heavy weight pie weights on my Ford 850 (with an FEL) and they really help with traction. The TO30 weights look to be cast iron, two sections bolt on for each inner wheel, but no casting or stamped info marks. Does anyone have these specific weights and do you know the actual weight of these and if they are "Ferguson" or aftermarket accessories? I hate loading tires, and as I will not be putting an FEL on the TO30, I will keep these weights on year round just for traction and not to counterbalance any front end weight. Sorry to be such a bother. P.S. Regarding the Knoedler Seat, there is a great "How To" on N Tractor Club that shows how to rebuild one, with parts numbers and parts sources. Thanks all, Larry.

Can't say about the wheel weights, but if they fit then you're good to go. Don't need to be 'official branded' to work :)

One of the latest trends on fluid filled tires is using 'beet juice', basically the left over liquid from sugar beet processing. It is non-corrosive unlike the old chloride filled ones. I have seen some references to guys going to a big automotive window washer fluid sale and buying enough one gallon jugs to fill their tires.
