semper5 43 #1 Posted December 11, 2017 I am behind the curve... I happened upon two bolt-on plastic wheel weights this summer. What do I feel them with? Water? Sand? Stuff that can't freeze? I will them attach chains and the blade to my 1979 C141. What do you suggest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,573 #2 Posted December 11, 2017 Sand would work the best in my opinion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 1,788 #3 Posted December 11, 2017 I would fill them up with a mix of the heaviest stuff you can find, and some cement product. If you have connection to a metal shop you might get small stamped out steel bits etc. That ways crazy good. Use the cement mix to make it a stable mass. Second choice would be just sand and cement mix. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,645 #5 Posted December 11, 2017 Might want to try a tire shop and get used wheel weights. E-bay prices about $1 per pound. I have a set of weights one is factory and weighs 40 lbs, the other is just cement an is 25 lbs. I recollect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
