Rear Tongue Weight

Recommended Posts

Dan 312-8

While walking the floor at the Classic Tractor Show today at the Lebanon, PA Expo Center, I spied this in a vendor’s booth. It’s advertised as a Wheel Horse Rear Tongue Weight, no ID tag on it. It’s designed to slide over the factory hitch, bolt through existing hitch pin hole and the weight provides a new hitch pin hole.

 

Any of you out there ever see such an animal?
OEM or homecrafted?
 

Guy is asking $150 for it.

I’m going back in the morning.

 

I’d appreciate your thoughts and/or comments,

 

Bests,

Dan

Agreed. 

 

Likely would have been red if factory. 

 

Me personally... 

A. They're asking WWAAYYY to much. IMHO that's a $50 piece. NOT 3 times that. 

B. It's pretty close to useless because that weight greatly reduces the amount you can pull. 

 

Meh......

IMHO… It looks too well made for homemade. But my guess is that it was a rear weight for an implement (non-Wheel Horse, hence the black paing) that would mount on the front of the tractor.

@SylvanLakeWH, @ebinmaine, @Chaz54, thanks for your insight. Eric, $50 was exactly what I thought. That is if you can pry that Grant out of my grasp. I’ll be leaving it lay where it’s at.
