Lane Ranger 10,600 #1 Posted January 22, 2020 Posting for reference on the 953,1954 and GT-14 rear wheel weights. These heavy weights went inside the rear wheels on these tractors. They added quite a bit of weight to the rear end. I beleive it we close to 75 lbs on each wheel when the two halves were added. I have a couple sets on tractors and I am keeping this set for a project 1054 I have not been able to get started on yet. Maybe this is the year! 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bottjernat1 2,189 #2 Posted January 22, 2020 Here is my 3rd owner early 953 I bought it back in 2017 from the original owners son. Bought new and local in kendallville indiana. It has some funky weights they are real heavy to. The son couldn't tell me where his dad got them. I have did alot of digging nobody can tell me what they go to. They fit perfect in the wheels so whatever works i guess! The tractor is all original except paint he said his dad got bored many years ago and repainted it. The only thing done was an axle seal and they took it back to the dealer for that it was under warranty. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They fit perfect I remember someone on here posting information about the one piece 15" wheel weights being sold by prior to the WW-93 being made. Those may well be correct for a very early 953. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
