1872 wheel weights

Post by cwcub »

Does anybody know what the part # is for rear weights for the 1872. I see new ones on line but I can’t confirm my part number on parts look up. Looking to add weights and ag tires for plowing and raking

While there are IH and Cub Cadet weights that are "correct" pretty much any of the weights that fir 12" rims will work. I have about three sets and none of them are correct part numbers. My favorite set are actually some plastic craftsman units. At the time you bought shells that you filled yourself. Common was to use mortar or similar, In my case I took #8 lead shot, mixed it with resin and poured them full. Those are close to 100 pounds each. On the older tractors with internal brakes you could even add weights on the inside of the rims. On those you could end up really heavy with inside weights, loaded tires and external weights. Generally now I run loaded tires year around with weights added when I put the chains on in the winter.

However if you want the correct ones they should be part # 190.370.100 for the CC version of the plastic weights. Those are 75 pounds each. If you add those plus add washer fluid or RV antifreeze to the tires (23X10.5X12 - hold about 7 gallons per tire) you should have plenty of weight.
