Default Wheel weights

Anyone know what the L stands for on my weights? Also what is the difference between factory yellow and factory white weights? I weighted them and they both weigh 25.7 pounds, took accurate measurements and they are exactly the same. I see now difference in any of them.

The one painted yellow, is yellow. The one painted white is white. That's the difference.

That's because there is no difference between them. They are the same. Boy, you really took a lot of time for nothing......

There must have been different castings. Here is a shot of a pair I picked up this year. The L is on opposite sides of the IH imprint. Was interesting to see the differences. I have no clue what the "L" stands for.

Would the white ones be for a Cub and/or Lo-Boy and the yellow for a Cub Cadet?

Agreed. Some were cast in the Rowe Foundry in Martinsville, Illinois. (About 25 miles from me. )

The "L" sounds logical that it identified the foundry, or that it was a mold with multiple pcs produced in the same mold, so it identifies which cavity in case there were bad parts---quality control would then know where to look for the problem. Injection molding does that quite often.

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.
