Just forming those wheels up for the concrete was a job in itself.Then,how did they get it in? Lay it on it's side?Hole in the wheel?Just thinking out how to make the forms must have been a major project.
 
Neighbor had an A with pressed steel back wheels that he poured
concrete in for weight. He sold it to my Uncle Floyd because the
PTO did not work. After it sat in a heated shop for a few days the
PTO worked fine. Ice in the A's transmission prevented it to be put
in gear. My Uncle removed the concrete and put some cast weights
on. When he died another neighbor bought it. The A was purchased
new by a different neighbor. All the people lived in a 4 mile area.
 
That's scary.

Those old Fordsons were known to flip over backwards, and those weights would make it even likely.

My dad's Fordson had fenders with toolboxes behind the wheels, intended to keep the tractor from flipping.
