Dad made 5 or so for various tractors around here. He used steel wheels. Find one that just sits inside the clamp that clamps on the tractor rim, supports the weight. Did that for the H, which is the same as a 300 row crop. Is the 300U the little feller? Anyhow, probably don't have many steel wheels sitting around any more, but get some mild steel flat about 3/16 and bend into a proper circle of the right size, 4-5" wide. Put on flat surface, sheet of plastic under, a pipe bigger than the axle in the exact middle, few rebars welded in between, fill level with concrete, make 4 holes that line up with the wheel rims, let dry a week. Will be great wheel weights. These dad made are 40+ years old. I surely would _not_ permenantly cast concrete onto the wheel - if that is what you are suggesting. Ick. --->Paul
