D Series Frame Weights?

We ve had a couple sets on 17s. Don’t know if they were factory or Rowe foundry. They would also fit on the WD45. Could send a pic on my phone ( not here) if no one else responds.

Factory Allis front end weights were 75 lbs each times 4 for 300 lbs.   Rear wheel weights were 4 pieces at 75 lbs each for a total of 600 lbs for both rear wheels.  Anything you build to hang on the side frames can limit your visibility if you get them too wide. Be mindful of more height is better than width.

My plan is to essentially copy the B/C frame weights. I'm looking to counter some of my heftier implements, specifically the mechanical transplanter. Just another measure I'd like to take to make it easier on the wife when she's operating the tractor and I'm on the transplanter. Since I work in some tight spaces, and have limited storage space, I'm trying to avoid anything that extends the front end beyond the front tires.

Weights are hard to come by here, and they're almost always overpriced. For wheel weights, it would be better for me to cast some reinforced concrete wheel weights. There's a chance I may do both that and the frame weights.

Concrete isn't as dense, so not as heavy by volume, but much cheaper. I haven't been able to really find any weights that were $1/lb within 2 hours driving distance. I plan to suspend some steel mesh in the weights when I get the opportunity to pour them. The tractor did come to me with inner rear concrete weights poured a couple years after the tractor rolled off the line, '57 serial number, '59 noted on the weights with what looks like we're toothpicks pressed into the wet concrete.

FYI, Concrete is approx 160 lbs per cu.ft. Steel is approx 450 lbs per cu.ft.
