Ballast wheel weights for L3000DT

[accordionman]

HELLO TO ALL,
well i finished my wheel weights, and they are on the tractor. as you all know
KUBOTA parts are expensive, so i made my own. i used the HACKERS design, and
i bought 12, 25lb. weights from WALMART, at about $10.00 each. i made two plates
1/2in by 12in. diameter, drilled, and machined holes in them, then welded a 1in threaded
rod in the center. painted to match, and mounted on the tractor. then installed 6, 25lbs
on each side. i can tell a difference in the way it handles, and rides, and hopefully it will be
more stable when using the front end loader. i am still working on the grill guard project,
but this one was more important. also working on a canopy.
