At least until Thursday night. I think I left the family jewels out in the backyard yesterday after I got done loading all this weight on. Decided to try my luck in the 6000 lb. class on thursday as in the 4500 lb. class, all I can get on the tractor is one set of rear weights and nothing more. I am always spinning out before I come close to loosing power, so we will try our luck up there with the big boys. Wish there was a class in between, but there's not. Other then the F & H weights, at least all my weights are AC, even the B frame weights on the sides.

Actually, Harold has two more on each side then I do. I did use his method which worked well, in that I drilled a hole in each bolt on the outside of the weight and put a spring clip in it to keep the bolt centered until I got the nuts on, and then took the spring clips out and used on the next set. |

I know a good hernia doctor I'd be glad to recommend, Chuck. If you keep pullin', you're gonna need one! ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |
