What is a reasonable amount to pay for a set with 12 inch wheel weights pictured below?

 

Thanks

Used to be $1 a pound. Now 125-150 is considered reasonable.

 

Always seems to be one unscrupulous out there trying to get $300 for them. Hope ya haven't run into that guy.

I'm in NY between Rochester and Buffalo and I see them listed for a average of about 150-175. But there has been several times i've seen them listed for almost double that. But at the end of the day id say the value is in how bad you need or want them.

All of the above prices are about right.

The above phrase is probably the biggest consideration in those prices.

 

Another thing to be considered...

Many of us are using fluid filling instead of or in addition to metal weights.

953 nut

If you want to see crazy prices try buying the 15" weights for a 953/1054/GT-14 (88 pounds per wheel) and having them shipped. The ones I have were on  :techie-ebay: "Buy it now" for $ 100 with $ 30 shipping. It had been listed about two minutes when I hit the buy! The seller put one of the 44 pound weighs and some bolts and lug nuts in each of four flat rate boxes, no packing and no attempt to secure the hardware. Postman left a damaged package form with them when he put them on the porch. All of the boxes were ripped to shreds and all of the hardware was gone. Sent pictures to the seller via :techie-ebay:and he refunded $ 50.  :woohoo:        That was the first set I had seen in over a year and none had been priced under $ 200 starting bid.

I had one set of 50 pound  12" weights given to me.  Another set came with a non-running :wh: that I got very reasonably. Thet are a very valuble addition to any :wh:.

It’s not in my opinion unscrupulous to list them for sale for what ever value seller places on them.

 

If it’s too high, then don’t buy.

 

175.00 is getting to be the average buying them ala Carte in these parts.

 

but if you try and get them in late fall/winter the price will be inflated.

 

i find getting them in a package deal with a tractor I need or one I plan to pull parts for is most cost effective.

I agree with @953 nut on cost for 953/1054/GT14 Weights. Usually well into 200plus range.

 

and if that seems high, don’t even look for the C195/Case style 15 inch weights

The market demand/or lack thereof, and seasonal/regional circumstances will determine the value and price.

The seller is free to find where those thresholds are established at any given time.

Seller perception of value is one thing, selling price reality maybe be entirely different.

Hey guys sorry if I ruffled a few feathers w the monicker "unscrupulous seller." I am a believer in the free market. A seller is more than welcome to set any price he would like. And an educated buyer can accept or decline said price. However NOTHING ticks me off more than those sellers taking advantage of newbies. These are often the very same flippers who continuously ask insane prices for stuff they most likely picked up for 200% less. 

 

Buyer beware! There's a lot of good bad and ugly deals to be had. Be patient. Eventuallly that which you seek will come around at a fare and reasonable price.

      A Wheelhorse C-165 8 speed, nice solid tractor everything works and operates as it should, all lights works(stack will be removed before sale)unknown hours it was only an option for the 165, but the 16hp single lung cast iron K series motor starts right up and runs strong. It will need new motor mounts. Transmission shifts smooth, package comes with plow w/optional down pressure bar if you choose instead of your trunnions chain, a set of tire chains, a set of Toro brand front wheel weights and a set of generic rear wheel weights, and lastly a full set of hub caps that are in decent shape they can be cleaned up, $1000 obo. Would like to sell as package but if the right buyer was interested in the right combo of stuff for the right amount of money we could work something out. Pickup only in Millersville PA 17551

      so I spent a few hours today welding up a custom front weight bracket for my 310-8. It has two and a half inches of ground clearance with a generic 12 inch weight bolted on. 
       
      so the question is, how well do y’all think the 300 series front axle will hold the weight? It’s only 50lbs so it’s lighter than the snowblower it has to hold up in winter so I don’t think I’ll have any problems. And I really don’t intend on using it constantly.

      I had a bit of an idea for my 310-8. I’m thinking about making a weight bracket that kinda slides onto the factory wheel horse bagger mounts. Anyone ever do anything like this before? How much weight do you think the bagger mounts could hold? I probably wouldn’t put anything past 50lbs on it.

      Kinda like the modern craftsman weights they mount to the rears of the tractor. I’d figure it’ll help counter balance the blower in winter

      Can anyone tell me if 23 10.50 12 Wheel Weights will work on 23 9.50 12 wheels?
    • Horse's ass
      By Horse's ass
      After 65inches of snow in a few days, my horse keeps getting stuck with the blower.  I’m wondering if the 12in wheel weights sold by craftsman or other manufacturers are compatible with my standard rear wheels on my c161.  Will the holes line up?  Thanks and Happy New Year!
