Rear Wheel Weights - International Harvester Company CUB Operator's Manual

FRONT WHEEL WEIGHTS (Two-Piece) -Continued
The rear wheel weights weigh approximately
150 pounds each and either one or two can be
attached to each rear wheel to reduce slippage
and tire wear and increase traction of rubbertired
tractors.
The first set of rear wheel weights includes
a set of two weights and eight 1/2NC x 3-inch
bolts. nuts and lock washers for attaching the
weights to the rear wheels at II A II (1IIust. 49).
Two-piece front wheel weights are available
to provide additional weight for the front end ofthe
tractor when operating over hilly ground
or when a scoop or scraper is being used onthe
rear of the tractor. These weights are
mounted on the inside of each wheel. Each half
weighs approximately 25 pounds. A set ofthese
weights can be used either with or with-
out one or two one-piece weights attached onthe
outside of the wheel. See Illust. 488.
When only a set of two-piece weights is tobe
attached, use eight l/lNC x 3-1/4-inchbolts,
nuts, and lock washers.
If additional weight is desired a second set
of weights can be attached to the fir st weights
by using four 1/2NC x 6-1/4-inch bolts, nuts
and lock washers at "B" (1IIust. 49A).
To mount a set of one-piece weights on the
outside of the front wheels with two-piece
weights on the inside, use eight 1/2NC x 4-1/4-
inch bolts, nuts, and lock washers.
Before attaching the second rear wheel
weights, it is necessary to remove two bolts
from each first weight and replace them withthe
longer bolts provided with the second weights.
If additional weight is desired, a second set
of one -piece weights can be added on the out-
side of the fir st set of one -piece weights, using
eight 1/2NG x 5-3/4-inch bolts, nuts. and lock
washers
If the second weights are removed, the two
shorter bolts in each first weight previously
removed, must be reinstalled.
