As I've posted here before in the past, we've got a 656 gasser that we bought new...not sure if it's a "Western Special" or whatever, but it came new with no 3 point, and, here's where this is headed- stamped steel 34" rims instead of the heavier cast iron center rims like most IH's of that era.
Naturally, it's a little light in back. Like way light...my brother bought a loader for it and once the bucket's full of dirt, you'd best be on good solid ground if you plan to move that bucket of dirt....
So...I have several IH wheel weights off of M's etc...was gonna put them on it. But- once I got 'em up there, the holes in the rims don't line up with the holes in the weights. Kinda was under the assumption that all IH weights had similar hole spacing, but there was no way these would work...drilling holes in the rims was the only option, which I didn't do.
So, question is- did IH make different weights for these stamped rims? And, while I'm here- anyone know of a set of cast centers with good rims within a few hundred miles of north central Nebraska? We're at least 100 miles from any salvage yard so I can't just go "browse"...and also, were any cast centers usable with 34" rims(so I could use what's on there for duals?)
Gotta get that thing weighted down...dang near tipped it over the other day, and nobody in my family would know to post here that I was gone if that was to happen!
