Charlie, It would have been nice to know which IH tractor you are setting up before we make our coments! So...I side with Harley and Rusty here on this one!
There is no reason not to set you tractor with ALL CAST wt. First of all it is Cheap! No need of extra charges from tire companies when you have a flat. that will be each and every time you have aq flat.
With a little looking you can get up to about 1400 lbs on on EACH rear corner. That is in the 2800 lb neighborhood for you tractor.
That is putting about 700 lbs on the inside and outside of the wheel.
My 966 has one 750 lb wt on Each rear corner, mounted outboard on the wheel.
The 4230 we aquired 3yrs ago has 3, 110 lb wt mounted inboard, w/ 3 JD wts mounted outboard on the wheel, + - 780 lbs of on each rear corner.
This JD came with liquid ballast, and 2 JD wts but we needed to put new shoes on her and we did away with the liquid. We paid less than $80 for the inside wts and one set JD wt. That was about 960 in total wt for $80.
Later,
John A.
