Default $8 wheel weights
I have wanted wheel weights for winter esp. A while ago I noticed that a 5 gallon potting containers I had laying around fit into the wheel perfectly . So I took off the wheels and used a soldering iron to open up the matching mounting holes where I put 4 bolts thru to hold to the wheels after welding a fender washer to keep it the right depth. Then filled with equal amounts of a 80#s of concrete
so 37-40# each and not hard to mount as it fits snug in the wheel with out the bolts and the plastic case protects the wheel. I stuck a bolt in the middle to hold while installing /removing
I have a steep 6ft hill /dropoff and it goes up it like it like it was on tracks now I need some ags I,m going to try some 23-10.5 on my 7in wheels

Those are great looking weights.

I have talked to people that achieve the same results spending $8/ week at McDonalds.

This is a lower cost (and probably lower cholesterol) weight addition!

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.
