Some "before" and "after" photos of the weights. I used a cup brush and cleaned them up, primed and painted them. The black pieces on the "before" photo are some wheel protectors I cut out of an old innertube. I am going to try some adhesive to hold them in place while I mount them, and let you know in the Spring (or sooner
 ) how they worked out.

Matt G suggested I rethink where the weight might make contact with the wheel. I looked again and he was absolutely right, I would have had the rubber pieces in the wrong spot. I ended up cutting 4 bigger pieces of the tube about 2" wide, enough to go all the way around the weight (sans where the notch is for the valve stem), put one on the bottom of the wheel, carefully put the weight in and then left the nuts loose on the bolts. I then slowly rotated the wheel and worked the the remaining pieces in place, and adjusted all 4 pieces to where they weren't visible, and tightened down the nuts. The pieces of innertube tightened down nicely and hopefully will work as an insulator the protect the wheels. The other weight is ready to look like the first.

Just wanted to give an update... I finally got the parts needed to complete my install on the blower and it seems to work ok. Now for a complete teardown and make sure everything is put together properly.

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.
