Weight suggestion for B

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I meddle in Antique pulling with my B as well as the usually farm usage.
I pull in the 0-2500 and 2500-3000 lb class with rules that you must use the stock bolt on weights (No suitcase weights)

Currently with rear and front wheel weights (Plus me) I come in at 2636 lbs. I was thinking about removing the rear weights and putting fluid in the tires to bring me just under 2500. I then have my B and CA weights I can bolt on for the next class (Which is a back breaking pain)

Any suggestions?

	Without any fluid and a set of engine side weights our B weighs in at about 2,240. Our tractor has the 5 bolt C type rear wheels, and we have used a second set of wheel centers as wheel weights. I don't know if you are just not allowed suitcase weights, or if you are only allowed proper factory weights, but we also use 25lb. & 50lb. barbell lifting weights bolted to the brackets on the final drives. Also we have 2 old WC engine flywheels that have the pilot bearing in them that bolt on to those same brackets. Each flywheel weighs 65lb. and they are authentic A-C parts! We also pull in the 2,500 and 3,000 classes. My 10 year old son won his first pull on this tractor Saturday! Edited by Kip-Utah - 23 Apr 2012 at 10:14am

	They only allow factory weights that came with the tractor at that time. The B weights have a notch in them, maybe I will see if I can make a bracket that slides in there to allow me to bolt on the CA weights. I tried long threaded bolts but I can't get them to line up good. Since there are only 2 or 3 tractors in my class I need to be able to switch weights fast. I am checking today to see what fluid options are available locally.
