If you can find a part number on the weights to compare it to a BF AVERY or MM V the part number is either A20 or V40 depending on the tractor SN. The part number changed at SN 4V535 for the BF AVERY V weights.

EDIT: The parts list for BF AVERY A shows rear wheel weight part number as CT33A. A previous post has a picture. Since the MM BF replaced the AVERY R, it's very likely that the rear weights were the same. The MM BF and BG rear weights are 150 lb each. This pic is from the MM BG Operation and Maintenance Manual.

EDIT 2: More research shows my MM BG with rear weights. They are not the same as the BF AVERY R and are not the same as the pic that I posted above from the BG manual. I have no knowledge if the rear weights shown are MM OEM or some other mfg. It will require further research. Sorry to mislead anyone.

Well, B.F. Avery weights, I would imagine, are much more scarce than Cub weights. I usually see Cub rear weights selling between $75 & $125. You might want to check around and see what your weights might be worth. You might be surprised. Maybe you can sell them for enough money to buy 2 pair of Cub weights... :wink:

I have 2 BF AVERY V's (1947 and 1949) and a 1953 MM BG offset (successor to the V, about the size of a Super A) and I've never seen a set of weights for a "V". My BG does have rear weights, unknown mfg. They do not match the pic shown in the MM BG manual. (I corrected the post above about it). I would be happy to trade you my cub weights front and rear for your weights. :lol: Stan
EDITED TO CORRECT AND AGREE WITH THE POST ABOVE. Sorry for any misleading info. :oops: Stan

So you guys think my rear weights are from a BF Avery tractor? Where would the part numbers be located on the weights? Maybe I can find the part number without taking them off.

I’d rather have Cub weights to match the tractor, but these seem to be fine too. If they’re around 150lbs each that’s about the same as the Cub weights correct?

Here's a post from 2012 that I linked to in another post on the BF AVERY rear wheel weights. Click on the link below to see the location and part number. :hattip: Stan

MORE RESEARCH, FOUND THIS PIC OF A MM BG WITH FRONT AND REAR WEIGHTS:

Looks the same as BF AVERY A, R, and MM BF, BG, Part number CT33A.
