Right/Wrong to mount rear wheel weights

Posted by Craig Tenhoff on September 18, 2012 at 17:27:16 from (173.19.61.120):

Is there a wrong way to put on Rear Wheel weights?
I placed two sets of rear weights on my C using 8-3/4 x 7 hex bolt through the wheel hub. I did this to hang the weight on the top bolt till I aligned it into place. After looking at The Big Book of Farmall Tractors. I noticed the weights are mounted with the beveled edge to the inside and the square recess for the square headed bolt are on the outside.
Using a 7" Long bolt I can stack two weights. Otherwise wouldn't you need six to eight bolts to mount the two weights to each hub?
I can not see a right or wrong, but I am sure there is a reason I mounted the weights wrong. No one questioned me at the Tractor show this weekend. They are for sure heavy!
