  Sometime in the future, when I can lay my hands on some 1/4 plate, I will make covers for the outsides. They'll look a bit tidier then.

  Couple of photo's of weights fitted. Keep my little mate down south happy.

  I did hit one little snag. I'd used a standard wheel as a jig when fitting the studs to secure weights to wheels. Consequently, as I'd narrowed the wheels on the tractor, they were rather to long. With 1-3/4" cut off and weights fitted and secured with nyloc nuts.

Had been using brake drums filled with concrete. Measure your rim, pick a pair of drums at the salvage yard that measure up.

Work fine. Weight? Never checked.
