There is a salvage place, Pre-Owned Parts, in Brawley, CA (almost Mexico) that has weights-no suprise? Well, apparently collecting and use of tractors is pretty quiet in the desert and they have accumulated a great many wheel weights. I saw 1 piece, two piece and one pair of double thick 1 piece weights.Saw several Hs, Ms, super and not, cubs and hundered series tractors. however they were easily the most worn out (as they will readily admit) tractors I've seen. Welds here and there, banged up, etc. Did have a LP carb set up on a Super M TA-no idea if it worked or when it last did. Also had a interesting pair of flat spoked wheels on an M too. Looked sort of F-20 type. Anyway, if any one ever heads that way (Palm Desert or so) and wants to stop by I will pay for you to bring back some weights. Got lots of newer IH, Deere, Versatile stuff too. And IH cotton pickers of all things. Interesting to visit a place that rarely sees rain, and gets 100 or more all summer. No salty type rust on the parts-
some light stuff that's all. Oh yea, I saw a M that he said was set up for being a cotton picker. Something about the flanged rear axle housings. Many of the tractors have PTO covers on 'em.
Thats all, One guys vaction report.
