I would think $335.00US is kinda ridiculous a price for a pair of split weights
My Gawd... sometimes the bidding on eBay gets way out of hand..
Now a couple of questions..
Because I bid on eBay a lot.. and I Do NOT want to bid against my fellow cubbers, cause then we all lose... what are your eBay user ID's. We need to share a bit of info guys..
For many of us, it doesn't seem to be an issue, cause our user names are either the same or similar to the ones we use here. In my case it is ve9rhs, and I know a few others.. but I am curious.
I started a thread on that very subject Farmall Cub Members on eBay

What's the story on that? Do you guys have a set? I heard that you could only make like 5 or 6 sets? I dis-like any weights on a tractor, but I'd put a set of those on. What's involved with getting the actual cast to pour them with? Is it pricey? Can they melt down old cast? We took 3 tons of M transmission housings to the scrap heap Saturday. Could have made alot of wheel weights with all that. Brandon.

Brandon,
Stewart Marshall is very willing to teach you how simple it would be to make the weights. Backyard foundrys can be very rewarding.
http://www.rockisland.com/~marshall/cupola.html
Stewart was clever enough to retire from actively operating his foundry.
I also figured I was too old to safely operate mine so I sold it a couple years ago.
Pouring the wheel weights should be one of the simplest and easiest possible foundry jobs.

Brandon,
I may have unintentionally implied it was Stewart Marshall making the weights. Not so.
There are several ways to melt the iron. My foundry used a couple crucible furnaces. One was solid fuel (coke or soft coal) and the other was gas fired.
The cupola is simpler... just an upright cylinder with a refractory lining. The fuel (coke or charcoal) and scrap iron are simply dropped in the top and a forced draft applied. The molten iron accumulates in the bottom and is drawn off as needed.
Probably the hardest part is breaking up the scrap so it will fit in the cupola.
Someone with the energy and time on their hands could build a backyard cupola, make the pattern and flasks, and pour a set of weights for what those on eBay are selling for.

I've always wanted to fill some type of niche in the cub scene. I just wonder if anyone else is already starting to reproduce them. I wonder why TM doesn't reproduce them? This is about the 3rd set that's sold on ebay, but I've yet to see any anywhere. Do you think people are paying these crazy prices and just using them? Thanks Brandon.

Brandon,
Go for it!
I met a couple of Tom's fabricators at RPRU and they are very talented guys. Maybe the best answer is they don't have a foundry?
From the most recent Portland show a group of about 25 guys took a tour of John Glassford's home foundry where he demonstrated making a small engine flywheel... from start to finish. Very similar process to the wheel weights. He uses a crucible furnace so to save time he poured a couple in aluminum.

I'll be thinking of it. The iron place where we took that stuff runs it through this big crusher thing, that reduces M's to handsized crumbles. I know I could do it, it's just wondering if I could make a professional looking piece that people would buy. I would imagine it would take quite a bit of finishing after casting to make them sellable. If I couldn't do it correctly, I wouldn't do it at all. What prices had everyone discussed earlier as far as what they would sell for?
