Randy, I did this years back for my 300U with a loader - Start with a 55 gal drum [needs both ends] Cut it into thirds along the crimp that goes around the drum, save the end thirds. make a cardboard or paper template of your steel wheel, transfer this pattern to the end of the barrel third - drill barrel end to match template, put bolts in holes and tighten [check fit on wheel NOW] - lay flat [bolts down & fill drum third with concrete. Use chain hoist [or similar] to lift, line up bolts with holes & add nuts on inside of wheel. Not too classy, but it worked for me when I didn't have a lot of $$$$$$ - [still don't] I don't know what they weighed, you could figure it out though. Worked slick, the drum end fit into the 28" wheel, stuck out a few inches, but were round, balenced, etc.
