I'm old (sort of, 48 ), fat and out of shape, (unless you consider round as being in "shape" LOL) and I just muscle them up and install them like some others here have said, using the bolts as guide pins of sorts. One thing I do that may help you though is many times if I am tired or have been sick and thus feeling weak, I install two longer then needed bolts kept for the purpose in two opposite bolt holes, then once I get the weights onto them, I install my bolts and then remove the longer ones unless I am installing more than one set. I do it in three steps. First, I hang the weight on the axle end, then I turn the weight to align it properly with the wheel, and finally I pick up one side only so I can hang it on one of the bolts, then the other side comes next and it is finished. I am also not opposed to rolling the tractor a little bit to help align things in a more advantageous position.
