I have a hd5g that i just finished restoring. I have been working it without the counterweight and noticed it is very much needed. Has anyone put 2 counterweights on? I am ready to put the first one on, wondering if a second one is needed. I do have another, slightly smaller. Thanks ------------- HD5B, HD5G, (2) FARMALL A's, CUB.

I think 1200-1500 pounds is about right, according to what I have read and been told ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

My HD5G has 2 counter weights on it - a larger thick one inside and one about 3/4 thickness next on outside - both have a rod cast into top of cutout for lifting them. Two weights I would say in many cases is a little light if working heavy soil - but for most use with the 1 yard bucket it's OK . Backing up in soft ground with bucker about 2 ft high it will tend to transfer weight to front idler so keeping bucket low when reversing is best . Problem now is most new trucks have high sides and unless you dig a depression for them to back into you neen a ramp to load them . So now if loading I use the AC 715B TLB . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.
