Wheel weight help

I found these weights and going to look at Sunday. Are these the correct weights for my 1943 JD B? I have pressed steel centers. Are they the starter weight?

Thanks

Yes. D2628R is the starter (or inside) weight for pressed steel wheels and is intended for your "B". This application is shown in the AC-1000 catalog, "Attachments for John Deere Tractors and Engines".
 
According to the AC-1000 catalog, the D2628R weights are 150 LBS apiece. This probably includes the fastening bolts since the Master Parts Index says D2628R is 147 LBS. AC-1000 says the Auxiliary weight is 142 LBS each. Interestingly, the MPI states the Auxiliary weight is 147.70 LBS.... Anyway, they're obviously somewhere in that range.
 
I don't know, and I'm definitely not an expert about weights. A person who is doing research about Deere weights is not certain there is a true "Deere" D2381R auxiliary weight exists - he suspects it may be Deere's number for the F&H W-162 auxiliary weight, which are quite common. F&H originally furnished weights for Deere tractors (as well as spoked wheels), and F&H made a starter (inside) weight with a cast-in part number "DP2628" along with their F&H logo. It would be interesting if anyone knows about the existence of a weight with a "D2381R" cast-in part number...
