AC_HB-112 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 posted on a local facebook online farm interest yard sale last night that I was looking for a set of chains for my 5212.5 because I've been spinning out going up hills in my yard, well, I got a response in about 10 minutes that a guy had a set of wheel weights and chains off a craftsmen and he'd like to sell them together, for $20. Went and picked em up sight unseen at 10pm last night. Figured I'll give the 50lb weights a try first, but I had to cut the back 2" of the weights as they were a little to fat to fit in the simplicity wheels All is good, they fit perfectly Chains are about 3 side links too short, but one large screw link on wither side ought to fix that, assuming I air the tires down on installation but assuming the weights will do the trick I'll wait till winter to worry about that.
PGL Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Those Craftsmen weights should enjoy being on a REAL machine! Good find.
GrincheyOne Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Look Good, good trim job! Hope they work for U. You'll come and tell us the results, Heer?
colincox1 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks for the info it's made me think about putingt the weights I have on my machine replacing the chains (During summer use)
AC_HB-112 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 Guys, they make a world of difference! only spun the tires once and that was in a soft spot in the ditch, but that was my fault for attempting it the day after a rain storm. lol
