Can anyone tell me about this front weight bracket? What weights did it use? It's shown in the parts books but they say nothing about the weights. Was it supposed to use wheel weights or was there a slab weight of some kind like the JDs use?

Yes it was from the early 70's uses the cast wheel weights bolted to the bracket.

That is an H18 weight bracket. As noted, it can use the wheel weights, either cast or filled.

It is available new to this day.

I have bars of tool steel that were discarded at about 35-50 lbs each. They work great and it is not too much to lift in to the quick attach pins ... much more and it gets pretty awkward.

I have that bracket.

It came with the first 446 I bought back in the seventies and it has 2 pair of cast iron wheel weights bolted to it.

Trust me.....it is not a fun item to put on and take off the tractor.

The suitcase weight kit is far superior.

I have one with two cast iron weights which are also wheel weights.

I've got one that came on my 644 and hadn't seen another till this one on eBay. My 644 didn't have any wheel weights. I was going to use it to make a suitcase weight bracket but it's kind of redundant with a loader.

I don't need mine yet for anything but when I get a 3 point finish mower for the 446 it will be needed. For now I have two extra wheel weights I can add for more weight.
