Question on weighted rear wheels

[FiredudeAT1]

On the Farmall Super A, is the heaviest wheel supposed to be on the driver's side? Mine is on side of the motor.

Depends on how heavy the operator is....

If I remember correctly, my 49 A had weights on both sides.

It has weights on both but side opposite of driver has more. I would think driver side should have more since frame and engine is on the other side.

If you look at the wheels themselves, the right side should be a cast center wheel about 1-1/2" thick while the left is a pressed type disc balancing out the weight between sides I'm assuming for an average operators weight on level ground. And depends on what the PO mostly used it for. For instance, if they needed a little more weight on the left side for pulling a moldboard plow to keep from spinning, they may have moved the cast center to the left for that reason.

The "A" I owned was weighted the same on both sides as was the "Super A" my parents had.
