The extra hole appeared late in IH production, can't remember when Not sure the reason for it being there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As already mentioned, the jam nut holds the bolt to the weight, 1 nut and washer holds the next weight, two bolts per half weight. I always just used all thread on my own tractors.

bobbyhuron 40 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 13 inch bolts hold 5 on a 666. 3 circles then 2 sets of splits. Then fluid in tires of course. I like a heavy loader tractor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alot of rolling resistance there if you use fluid too , Fluid is dead around here all my ag tire dealer does is pump it out now no one uses it here anymore its all cast weights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DT Fan 1,288 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Have found many different styles of big aftermarket weights at Colfax tractor parts. Usually in the fall when I'm chasing combine parts and don't have time to worry about wheel weights. Maybe I'll get some pics one of these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lorenzo 15,242 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I put em back like I found em. It’s pretty obvious now that installing weights on a tractor is not an exact science. I now know there is more then one way to achieve the end result. For my self I’m not going to change them and I can use the tractor knowing dam sure that they won’t come loose and fall off on my way to the cafe. Sounds like you can just use some number nine wire, duct tape , and gorilla glue if that’s what you have to work with . After I’m gone and the next guy becomes the new Custodian he can put em any way he seams fit. ☕️ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

INTERNATIONAL 1466 1,775 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Just for reference, here are a couple pictures. One shows split weights with the notch in them to fit the wedge lock wheels. Next is trying to show the notched set way on the inside, as the rest of those 8 sets do not have the notch. Last is how we install. First 6 sets are with all thread, remaining 3 sets are factory IH bolts. We have one piece weights that have the notches in them as well, but they are Taylor foundry, not IH. Just info for reference for those who maybe never seen the notched weights. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those weights all come off when the frost goes out. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Colaguy 22 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I used the full weights on the inside and the half ones on the out side on both the 1466 and 1486 worked great. Weights originally came of 706D. Half weights look cooler on the outside 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not as wide as 118 inch axles, and only one weight past the end of 100 inch axles. Looks more intimidating than it is. If you can't drive that good you have no business driving at all, right?
