pulling tractor weights

had an idea the other day...i have some suitcase weights that i use on my pulling wc, but not enough for all of my weight classes. for those classes i still have to mess with some f&h rear wheel weights, which take time to put off and on and weigh 142 lbs each.  in my older years they keep getting heavier and harder to handle.....but, i've got a bunch of f&h wheel weights, both 161 and 162 style.  they don't seem to be bringing much money to sell them, so i was thinking about cutting them in half, cutting a slot in them, and hanging them on weight brackets like suitcase weights.  would be easier to handle and a lot quicker.  they've got two big slots on the outside that could be used as a handle...only downside i can see is that they would be thicker than suitcase weight and would need more room on the weight bracket.  anyone ever tried this or seen it done??

161 and 162's fit all WC's I believe .....nothing special I know of.

What do you plan to cut them with? Torch wont cut cast.

I have a set of each,161's and 162's. One set is painted Red and were on a Farmall, the other is painted green and were on an Oliver.
