    Rear Wheel Weights

    Not as pretty as the commercial made steel weights, but I made my own concrete, steel and lead wheel weights for my L4330. I just couldn't see paying +$1/lb for steel/cast iron weights. One weighs 240 lbs and the other wieghs 260 for a total of 500 lbs added to the rear tires of my tractor.

    Oil Filter cross reference

    HH150-32430 = Wix 51365XP or 51365; Fram PH6607 or PH6017A HHK20-36990 = This is a valid competitive part number and there is no replacement at this time. Had no luck with Fram or Baldwin as well.

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weigh build pics

    Let's see: - 16 8" grade 8 bolts from TSC at $/lb (I forget how much) - 140 lbs of lead at $100 (used about 80% of it). I got the lead from a friend who casts his own bullets. This particular lead was contaminated and not useful for bullets. For pure weight thought, it's perfect. - 4-5...

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weigh build pics

    The 2nd wheel weight went pretty well after the first one was done and mounted (I did them one at a time). The only downsides to the 2nd wheel weight was that it weighed slightly less (240 lbs vs 260 lbs for the first one) and I could not get the form to remain a circle when I filled it with...

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weigh build pics

    So I made a special tool that would both attach to my lifting tool and to my shop lift: With this setup, I wasn't trying to partially lift 260 lbs, get it into place, then line the bolts with the holes and move the weight into place. With this tool, I could move the weight in and out...

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weigh build pics

    Suffered a major setback the first time I attempted to install the wheel weight on the tractor. Totally unworkable setup: Next up: success!

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weigh build pics

    First wheel weight filled with concrete: Lifting it up to remove the form via the special tool I made and my FEL loader. First wheel weight, 260 lbs right on the money! More later!

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weigh build pics

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weight build pics I made some concrete, steel and lead wheel weights for my L4330 several months ago after looking, unsuccessfully for fairly cheap cast iron or steel wheel weights. I may as well have been looking for gold plate weights while I was at it for the...

    l3010 wheel wights

    I should, just haven't gotten a roundtoit yet! In addition to the concrete/lead/steel wheel weights, for serious loader work, I also use my LMC box blade, which weighs 675 lbs by itself plus the 410 lb lead, steel and concrete weight block I built to hang off the back. It also mounts my Rachet...

    l3010 wheel wights

    Make your own concrete, lead and steel wheel weights: The right side is 260 lbs, the left side is 240 lbs. (difference is the amount of lead and steel). Total rear wheel weight added: 500 lbs. Good luck!

    L 4330 wont start

    BTDT: Removed and cleaned all the fuses and found the "Key Stop" (#9 fuse for the ROPS L4330) blown. Replaced it with a like 5 amp fuse from the spares slot and the Mid-PTO light is off and the tractor starts like it always has...

    Not your average camper frame

    I see you put a long tongue on it: good for you. I detest short tongues on trailers! Good job! Except for the tire! But you already knew that..... :D
