2000 3cyl rear wheel weights

Ford weights are hard to find and expensive for the 2000 3cyl. I don't need a full set of pie weights. I would like to add about 100lb to each wheel if possible. The
wheels have a 3 hole triangle. It is hard to measure accurately. Spacing is between 17 and 19 as I remember it. Has anyone used weights from other makes that fit?
There seem to be lots of JD weights with 3 hole spacing but I don't know if it is the same or not.
Thanks, all
 
Remember. There are 2 parts that make up the 'wheel'.
The rim and the center.
Ford sold stackable weights that bolted on to the center. These weigh about 80 lbs each.
The distance between the 3 holes is 16 1/2in. Hard to measure exactly. They will fit 28 and 30in centers that have those 3 holes. Usually 2000-5000 size tractors.
I would want at least 2 or 3 per wheel.

You can also find weights that bolt on to the 6 bolts that hold the rim to the center on 28in wheels.
My pal Ken has a set of one piece type of those. They add about 300 lbs/wheel.

Another type for 28in wheels are a 3 piece type. They use a special wedge that holds them in place. You MUST have the special wedges to mount them.
They add 225 lbs per wheel.

Ultra Dog, you are the man--or the dog. THe picture of the weight with the tape is exactly what I wanted. Measuring the holes on the dished wheel still on the tractor is pretty hard. It seems there are other weights around from different makes that have the same spacing. I looked at some JD weights that have a bunch of holes in them and I think there was one pattern like that. The pie and inside weights seem to be the most available but are pricy. I have very minimal slip (even with draft control) with my unloaded tires. Nearest shop to load tires is 30 mi away, and I would sooner have weights than stuff in the tires. I now know what to look (or ask ) for when on the net.
