 Topic: 8050 rear wheel weights
Posted: 28 Feb 2011 at 3:09pm |
Four years ago we replace the rear tires on our 8050 which were loaded with Calcium chloride we didn't replace the blast as we were only using a 15 ft triple k and packers, though when we plow with the five shank wing plow there is a lot of wheel slippage. Just wondering if AC made wheel weight for the rear tires? What are they worth Morley

We have a set of inside wheel weights on the 8050, I think Dad said 800 lbs. each. They came with the tractor when he bought it new. I would have no idea on value or how hard they are to come by. Any weights from the 190's, 200's 7000's and bigger should bolt right on though.

I watch some of those inside rear wheel weights sell at auction for $200 each. I understood they were only 400 lbs each - I don't know for sure? I have seen tractor weights bring anywhere from $.10-.50 / lb. depending on what it is.
They also made some 300 lb each outside wheel weights for AC tractors.

Factory inner wheel weights (for 38 inch wheels) are one piece (require removal of complete wheel to install) and are 400 lbs each. It would take a total of at least four (2 each side) to make up for full fluid on 18.4 x 38's.

I'm sure SW MO is too far from Ontario, but I have 3 pair (6 total) of the 400 pound weights, and 1 set (2) of big weights that appear to be factory. I was told the big ones were 1100lbs each. I would take $200 per pair of the 400 lb weights, and/or $500 for the pair of the big ones.

Leon thanks for the tip about looking at other models 190, 200 etc perhaps would be easier to find weight locally

How many of them 400# weights can you stack on each side, is 2 per side the limit? My 8050 that burned up has 2 on each side, and I plan on putting them onto my 8070. Thought maybe while I had it all apart, might as well put 3 or 4 per side, as I have no fluid in the tires. Darrel

We have a John Deere 3140 with 18.4 X 38 rims. Put new radials on but didn't put any fluid in tires. Anybody know where we could buy some dry weight?

why not load the tires, there is better stuff than calcium cloride available that can be used without damage to the rims, and a lot cheaper than iron weights. and lets face it calcium cloride has rotted out many rims, throughout the years but it usually took 50 years to really mess up a rim unless you ran it on a small leak for years
