Using Rear Cast Iron Weights

CAUTION: When installing weights, use appropriate equipment or have the job done by your John Deere Dealer.

NOTE: When using 1524 mm (60 in.) tread setting, maximum of two 205 kg (450 lb) or one 680 kg (1500 lb) weight can be installed on inside of wheel.

Cast iron weights (A) of 75 kg (165 lb) or 205 kg (450 lb) can be installed on inside or outside of drive wheel and to the outside of dual wheel. The 680 kg (1500 lb) weight can only be installed on inside of inner wheel.

Wheel weights should not be installed on outside of inner wheel when the tractor is equipped with duals, since the combination prevents retightening of the sleeve bolts. See your John Deere Dealer for weight use and placement.
