Been busy this morn. (It's 9:30AM) It rained to beat 'ell last night, I expected it to this morning and, "it's supposed to." It's wet and muddy, but I got it off the trailer, spun around 180, (THANKS 2 post hoist!!!) and got the pyramid pier weights off the tractor. This thing had a lot of weight. It used to have brine in both tires, now just one, as one tire failed some time ago, has these piers, and then Farmall put a big heavy cast wheel on the "outboard" side, but I obtained another one and bolted it in, like a weight, on the "close" wheel, then put both weights on the other side, which "factory" has a "heavy" wheel. So this thing will shed some weight
Pier blocks "seem to be" about 50 ea and there are 8, so 400 lbs there
I think the wheel weights are around 125--130 ea
I would guess the "heavy side wheel" is around the same or a bit less
On a side note, you cannot put the heavy wheel on the left side "as a wheel" because THE CENTER HOLE is a tiny bit bigger on the left side!!!
Below, spun it 180 off the trailer with the hoist. "Easy" LOL

Below, the old DIY drawbar was on it when I bought it. Made a tray for the weights

Below the extra "heavy" wheel, bolted to the stamped steel wheel as a weight. This belongs on the other side normally, as the engine is offset to this side here

Below, two weights on the right "outboard" side which also has the (factory) heavy cast wheel.

Below, evidently 400lbs "or so" worth of weight
