this worked well for me on an old Sears SS12. The rears are dual with one pair loaded and the other pair has weights. It has surprising amount of power and it flipped over on me bow over stern once so I welded a weight lifting bar to a front bracket and add weights as needed. Pretty Red Neck in my opinion

I tried using cast blocks like that on my box blade for extra weight and I found that they soon cracked and fell apart. Hopefully yours will fare better.

the blocks were left over from a job. i think the weight bar is awesome on your sears tractor.:thumbsup: and i have had one block fatality but it was already cracked, but had a replacement for it. thanks for compliments. hoping it would spark an idea or two. hp.
