118lfd 8 #1 Posted January 31, 2011 So I got my new to me plow hooked up and the tractor needed some weight in the front. I thought about making wheel weights but ended up with something different. I figured that the blower hooks up to the front bracket and the plow doesn't use it so I would start there. This is what I came up with. I made a bracket the attaches to the front attach a matic bracket with two 1/2 inch round bar pins that hold a few lead ingots. There is 100 pounds on there now and I am getting another ingot so I can have 120lbs on the front. It is a night and day difference in steering with the plow angled.

118lfd 8 #9 Posted February 2, 2011 Looks good! Where did you find the lead ingots? My uncle has about 100 of these and a few hundred lbs of lead fishing weights. I had got a few from him to make my wheel weights and these were left over. I have a few hundred lbs of fishing weights too but they are for fishing. He got them from a Guy who use to make his own weights when he passed away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
