To answer your question about balance and a cub right wheel slipping when the left one does not, this is from a discussion a few years back and some actual weights I took. The entire discussion can be found here, note, it is 7 pages long:

Re: Contest - differnece in right and left

........


Left 446
Right 204

242 official difference

to paraphrase the car adds, this is what we got, your mileage/weight may vary.

I intended to post his sooner, but forgot to.

left = 446 pounds
right = 204 pounds

add 289 pound driver
left = 494 -- 48 pound increase
right = 345 -- 141 pound increase
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Interesting. I do have a question though, why did IH ballast the Super A and not the Cub? Is is because the Super A is much larger and therefore more prone to tipping without it?
