The above figures are for individual tires only. For combined front axle and/or rear axle weight, multiply the figures by 2.
A
CAUTION:
Never pour water on calcium chloride. Slowly add the flakes to the water and stir until
dissolved.
CAST IRON WEIGHTS
Cast iron weights are available as accessories from your
Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer. Weights can be mounted
on the front wheels and on the rear wheels as shown
in Figures 40, 41 and 42.
The front wheel weights and rear wheel weights are
listed in the charts following.
Weight added to the tires, together with the weight of
the tractor and rear attached equipment, should not
exceed the recommended weight to be carried by the
tires as listed in the chart on page 36. In some cases,
the tire capacities will exceed the maximum allowable
weight of the tractor. In these instances, never exceed
the maximum allowable weight of the tractor, including
ballast.
FRONT WHEEL WEIGHTS
NOTE:
Do not use the two-piece wheel weights on the
inside of the wheels of Ford 420, 515, 532 and 535.
