Does anyone know if there are weights for the front of my 52 8n? I've got cast iron wheel weights on the back and water/antifreez in the rear tires, but I need somthing to keep the front downwhen I am pulling or brush hogging.

Yes there are front wheel weights available for your 8N. They are two half moon style weights which mount on the inside of your front wheels if they have the mounting holes for the bolts. Each half weighs app. 50# for total of 200# or 100# per wheel. I found a pair on ebay about a year ago for $90, but the shipping cost $75 add'l. They are well worth it and I use them whenever I bush hog with my 8N. My front wheels never leave the ground while making an uphill turn. It's scarry when they do! Be patient, you'll find a pair. Hope this helps,
Arthur

Our neighbor had calcium chloride solution in the 600x16s on the front of his Fergusons when I was a kid. I know, I know it will rot things if it leaks, but we never had any leakes when everything was pretty new back in those days. I read here about anti-freeze as a substitute, but the Calcium adds more weight, i believe, than the liquid by itself. Ford front wheel weights are rare as hen's teeth in Iowa and Missouri. Mike

Allen..... ...used 8N front wheel weights are available, buttcha gotta find 'em. I don't know of any new frontwheel weights. Sometimes you can hang some cheap garage sale weight lifter platters off your front bumper if you're clever..... ...Dell
