Lifting weights
I recently purchased a pair of wheel weights for a 12" wheel that are exceptionally heavy at 93 pounds each. They are over 3 1/2 inches thick. Being so heavy, I wondered how to get the weights installed on my 1882 safely without smashing some fingers. I came up with this simple tool to hang the weight while I installed the bolts. It is a 2' piece of 1/2" rod stock bent to engage the weight and hold it vertical. At the top end of the "hanger" I welded the eye from a 5/8 eye bolt. Using my engine hoist, I had precise control of positioning the weight into the rim and no smashed fingers! (yeah, the weights need paint!)

The weights I have on my BX weigh 110 lbs. I use my engine hoist with a bar that I guide into one of the bolt holes in the wheel then I put 3 of the bolts in and snug them up, pull the lifting bar out and put the 4th bolt in.

I like the idea of the bar being a guide pin going into the first hole. I just may lengthen mine to work that way. Thanks Sam!

I pressed the pin into a 1/2" pipe that is about 3' long, the red strap slips over the pipe and hooks to the engine hoist. I balance the weight with one hand on the pipe and guide the pin into the bolt hole in the wheel. Made it with junk laying around the shop.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
