REAR WHEEL CAST IRON WEIGHTS
Cast iron weights, 1, are available in two sizes, 39 kg
(85 lbs.) and 204 kg (450 lb.). These weights may be
installed on the inside or outside of the rear wheels.
IMPORTANT: The 2145 39 kg (85-lb.) weight is
different than the 39 kg (85-lb.) weight used on the
other models and cannot be interchanged with the
weight for the cast center wheels.
The following table lists the maximum number and
location of rear wheel weights:

INSTALLING CAST IRON REAR WHEEL
WEIGHTS
CAUTION
Wheel weights are heavy. Use appropriate lifting
equipment or have the job done by your
authorized dealer.
To install weights, 1, on the inside of a wheel, the
wheel must be removed. See “Rear Wheel Track
Adjustment” section for wheel removal information.
Attach the first weight to the wheel disc and tighten
the attaching bolts to 224 N·m (165 ft.-lbs.).
NOTE: Check the torque of all attaching bolts on
each wheel after driving the tractor for 200 m (200
yards), after 1 hour, and 10 hours operation and
thereafter at the 50-hour service intervals.
Install additional weights by installing bolts through
the previous weight. Rotate alternate weights to align
bolts with holes in the weights.
Tighten attaching bolts securely to 224 N·m (165
ft.-lbs.). Retighten every two hours of service until
bolt torque stabilizes. Check tightness every 300
hours thereafter.
Check to make sure the weights are centered.
Excessive runout can cause an unbalanced
condition when operating at high speed.
