IIRC, the smaller weights were considered standard size, and nominal 73 lbs, and the larger ones were optional size at nominal 102 lbs. Remember as a kid, you'd say "I can put those on"- then once you could, it became your permanent job LOL. Then gramps said, set 'er up for plowing, I'll be back in a while- which meant blowing the wheels out from 60" to 84" centers. Me at 12, and the old 8N with a Wagner loader, the little IH clamp bolt wrench & 4' of pipe. Actually, the rears were easier than the fronts
Same year I started putting on the 4-row cultivators (2) on by myself- the ones that bolted to the weight bracket holes and then swung in to the sides. After moving the wheels back in to 60" of course
What size plow were you running at 60"? I take it that is from center to outside of tread?
You can't plow at 60", he is plowing at 84", measurement is center of tire to center of tire. I only moved the right tire cause a dual went on the left.
