Good question. Believe I have seen where wheels loaded with calcium was an option from the dealers.

Found this

The FW would be the frame weight I believe but also lists a front wheel weight. The list was made in 1964 but does not tell us when the weights actually became available.

There is also a FW-60 in the 1957 price list.

The 1966 RT-366 tiller manual recommends adding the WF-60 front wheel weights.

Thank folks.

The best I could come up with is this, it just hooks on and weighs 71 lb, seems to work well as I dont always need it, only when I have an unbalanced trailer load, such as the wife three children and a large dog, (good fun). I will paint it when I can fing the correct red.

Cool.... like a newer version of this old factory weight for the RJ models, the FW-60. (not mine, this is an old picture that is from elsewhere on the forum) It too hangs right on the front axle.
