I notice you told tractor vet in your second responce that both rear wheels have heavy cast hubs. This is wrong to start with, as Gene stated the 140 like the Super A should have a cast hub on the right and pressed steel hub on the left. Until you correct this your tractor will be off balance. Once you put the correct hubs on then you can add wheel weights of equal amounts to each side. These tractors when properly balanced will out pull about 99.9% of all tractors on the market as a percentage of their own weight. The only two I know of that will give them a chalange are the Farmall H and Cockshutt 30. Another mistake people often make with these tractors, is position the rear wheels differently. This will affect the balance even more. Often times guys will dish the right wheel in and the left wheel out, thinking they are going to center the engine and power train equally between the wheels, this will render the tractor almost usless. All tractors must be properly balanced to give good drawbar pulling. Improper balance will make most any good tractor look bad. IH engineered these offsets to work, and they had it right. Unbalanced tractors are also quite prone to upset, thus very dangerous.
