CRE1992 135 #1 Posted July 6, 2011 So besides adding wheel weights for traction, I believe there was a rear weight box available to offset the loader? Does anyone have any pictures of one or something that may have fabbed up to fit the 520H? And also pictures of how it is attached... Thanks, Charles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MalMac 1,328 #2 Posted July 6, 2011 Most of rear weight boxes for the loaders mounted in the loader sub frame. I know the ones for Ark loaders do. I think the Kwik Way did the same thing. Some people have fab ones that use a 3 point system. I am sure others on here with more knowledge than I have will chime in. There are also weight boxes and mounts that hold suitcase weights that people have fab that mount on the transmission where the hitch pin goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 13 #3 Posted July 6, 2011 There could be many ways to attach a weight bracket. You can bolt to the rear axle or make use of an existing rear snow plow hitch or tie into the drawbar hitch. The suitcase weight set sold by Wheel Horse used the drawbar hitch pin and a couple small bolts under the fender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And also how much money do these typically go for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #6 Posted July 7, 2011 CRE... I have a home made one. Takes 4 - 44lb suitcase weights. And there's a 2" receiver in the middle. If you know a welder it shouldn't cost you anymore than $100. I'll try to get a pic this weeknd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRE1992 135 #9 Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks for posting these guys, I would really love to get my hands on the one nick posted , if I could get the dimensions I'm sure I could fab something up. Stevebo I have one like that for a JD790. I dont need a three point for my 520H , however reading some post on them, it is pretty cool that you figured out how to do that Thanks, Charles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,015 #10 Posted July 7, 2011 The weight for the one Nick posted is 175 lbs. 25 lbs. for each weight and then another 25 for the bracket itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Charles I know of a wheelhorse dealer that still has weight boxes for the 400/500 series tractors and they will ship anywhere in the us if your interested but there pretty pricey.
