EDIT: I used carriage bolts - makes it a whole lot easier to install. If you are doing inside and outside, I guess all-thread would be the way to go.
So basically to run this set up youd need 1/2 by 9" carriage bolts?

I have 75lbs. weights on mine, and just use two bolts. The weights will stay centered in the rim. I suggest bolting the inside one to the rim, and the outside weight to the inside one with shorter bolts in the two holes you didn't use. That way you can take one set off if you want. Also, that way, you don't have to fight twice as much weight when getting them lined up and bolted on.

Note: I didn't want to fight a loose bolt, so I welded a nut to the inside of my rim. Then, I just hold the weight in place with my knee and thread a long bolt in from the outside. Cordless impact and done!

So, on a 147 rear wheel mounting on the outside an IH weight would require how long of a bolt?

Oh My! How hard is it to stick a tape measure through the bolt hole on the weight and into the bolt hole on the rim then add an inch for the washer & nut? What about the thickness of the 2nd wt? Add

THANK YOU this was all I was trying to figure out when I asked how long I needed one. Since my tape measure won't fit through the weight hole.......

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.
