I've used abilene machine in ks with good results doesn't hurt I live 6 miles from them either , I get things faster

Calcium is a last resort or anything fluid in the tires for that reason takes more power to turn the wheel with fluid than cast weight harder to fix punctures not the mention rim rot Our tire dealer doesn't even offer fluid anymore no demand for it here its all cast weight now all my tractors don't have fluid and if I aquire one that does i have to removed and new tubes installed

For what type of machine?

I have used that product also on several types of engines Mostly on Chevy V-8's that used the thin metal head gaskets and small engines I wouldn't be afraid of using it on a gas tractor at all ,On large modern Diesels I install the gasket dry to prevent excessive gasket shift since they require higher headbolt torque but it is great stuff

make sure your steering spindles are well greased and not bound up

Gotta remember your talking about sprung weight where-as weights on the wheels is unsprung weight

Yea fluid sucks , and not cheap either I live near a tractor salvage yard and I get get weights easily at the going price we don't have any tractors with fluids at all now only cast weights

Here's the style of factory weights I have on my tractor

by the way it looks I'd say your screwed for using the original threads I'd drill it out and heilicoil it

Never had one I thought was loud

Some strange looking variations of tractors compared to the US tractors of that vintage even the model numbers look odd not sure why they did this there and seeing right hand steering on vehicles also something that would take me getting use too but cool pics

A few of these companies hired overpaid CEO's and paid outrageous commissions bonus's and pensions plus golden parachutes when they left the board of directors weren't any better the companies were being raped and pilegded by corrupt bigwig's from wall street they are reaping what they sowed I say let the tail go with the hide

I always got a chuckle out of guys turning up HP or putting bigger engines in tractors and then hearing about rear-end troubles axle bearings , pinion bearings differential problems never fails to amaze me

I buy parts for my lawn tractors , four wheeler , Motorcycle , my older tractors on Ebay all the time if you know the part is right and of good quality plus free shipping and no sales tax helps too

the engines are almost identical however the 436 engine made more sense to increase horsepower with in the 1486 as far as advantages there's none that I can think of the only thing maybe I noticed is the 414 was worse on electralis on the sleeves for some reason
