Axle weight questions

I was at a small tractor salvage yard today for some parts & found these weights holding a couple tractors up out of the mud. The only place I have seen them before was pics on this site! Can anyone tell me what they weigh, what to call them, & what they are worth? Just wondering if I made a good buy or not! Thanks!

I have a number of those you picture just in front of your boots. I don't know what they came from and even have one right here in this room. It has PO1038 cast into it.
 
Those are weights for a Ford Tractor rear axle. They fit on the top of the fender mount, they use longer fender bolts.
They are heavy, I'm guessing about 150lbs per side.
I have two of these weights bolted to my front bumper on a Ford 2000. These weights will go on any Ford or Ferguson
tractor that has the round rear axles like Ford 9N, 8n, Naa, and the hundred series.
 
Those are on our NAA. I think six per wheel. Seems like they weigh 100# each, so that adds 1,200 pounds to the tractor. Then if they are fluid-filled, as ours are, you can push a 10-foot V-plow through very deep snow with such a small tractor.
 
Old, I cleaned the mud off one today. All it has is "PAT APP FOR" on it, no numbers.
KCTractors, you're right about how/where they mount.
I'm still curious what they might be worth as I might be willing to part w/them. If I could lift them I might mount them on one of my tractors!
 
I'm talking about the half moon one with a single bolt hole in the middle of it. I just weigh it on the bath room scale and it is 21lbs. I have 2 different sizes of them and this is the smaller one of the match pair. I have 6-8 of them
 
Just for the heck of it I just put the one I have in the house on the bathroom scale and it says it is 21 LBS
