This is your best bet (wheel weights) and better than the other option: Build a bracket with a basket and bolt it to the front axle. Then fill the basket with 4-6 concrete blocks. BTDT
Wheel weights are much better and be sure the wheel is dished in rather than dished out. Steers much easier with weights with the weights close to the spindle rather than dished out away from it (them).

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
