fishnwiz 2,852 Report post Posted December 4, 2012 Hi guys, I bought these last week for 25.00 and am trying to figure what they are off of? Deere, Cub? Anyone? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 879 Report post Posted December 4, 2012 I have two sets just like them. I'm not sure what brand they are. I suspect they could be early Gilson weights. Both were originally painted yellow like the Gilson-built montgomery ward tractors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayS 62 Report post Posted December 4, 2012 They might be Bolens. Similar to the ones below. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bolens-HT20-Wheel-Weights-/230886437308?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c1e771bc http://www.ebay.com/itm/BOLENS-GARDEN-TRACTOR-REAR-WHEEL-WEIGHT-SET-W-T-MOUNTING-BOLTS-PULLING-TRACTOR-/221144136070?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337d37b986 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MysTiK 3 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 you got a great deal. those ebay prices are very creative - umm, kinda. Prices near me are all over the place - some people talk a dollar a pound. Some are $20-50I paid 65 for mine. Guy wanted 100. They're Bolens. 2x50 lbs. Pretty similar appearance. They just don't look like they weigh that much; until you pick'em up; or throw them on a scale. Surprise. What do yours weigh?Found this pix I forgot I had. They are very similar to yours.Rusty olde junk, eh. :DSame guy has the tractor for sale for I think $1500 - not sure, think it's an HT-20 repowered to 25ish - one huge tractor, makes my 716 look like a lil crapsman. 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeES 267 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 I have 2 sets of 50# Bolens weights. I used bondo to fill in the "Bolens" casted name. And painted one set off white for the HB212 and other orange for the 917H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnwiz 2,852 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 These weights do not have a name cast into them...GREAT idea though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
