Looks like somthing a "Sears guy" would go crazy for.

Are those cast wheel weights on backwards?

Mike.......

[rickv1957 70]

Looks great!!! Rick

[Shuboxlover 474]

come on....it IS a custom!!!!!

I thought that too about the weights, but when I looked at it, they either are on correctly, or the tires/rims are on backwards....The way the tires/rims are mounted now, the "dish" part is facing in on the tractor, unlike our wheel horses where the dish is facing out.

So, to answer your question....

If the rims are mounted correctly, then what you see in the picture is really the only way the weights could be mounted.

or come to think of it, maybe the wheel doesn't have ANY offset.....so that's the way they mount up

I will hopefully take those off tomorrow and see if they say anything on the other side.

These Custom's sold like hot cakes back in the day. There aren't too many left out there that have survived like this one has. Very desirable to the right guy.
