140 vs. A rear wheel weights

[M6Scout]

Are the rear weights interchangeable?
Is there any specific reason for the two different style front rims on the 140, solid vs spoke style

I have used A weights on a 130 and 140.

Excellent, that answers my question, then the bolt patterns are the same.

Thank you!

The A and 140 rear weights are identical.

When IH came out with the 40/60 series tractors, they switched to the stamped steel disc wheels on most of the tractors. It appears to me that at the time the only stamped steel wheel available for the 140 was the standard size wheel. Any optional size required using the cast spoked wheel center with the lugged rim. The parts catalog shows some optional sizes for the stamped steel wheel so maybe they came along later in production. I'm not sure about any of this.

and some of the wheel centers for the right side on a 140 are weights also

the parts catalog has different lengths for the carrage bolts on the right side because it is cast and not stamped.

For the front tires, my 130 has the two-piece wheel but my 140s have a stamped wheel like the cub. My 140 stands a little taller than the 130 due to the difference in tire sizes.

The first 3/4 years of production of the 140 had the two piece front wheels and then the solid rim followed.

Thank You for all the answers

Rear wheel weights from a A, super A, B, BN, 100, 130 and the 140 are all the same for the 24 inch rims!

A rear weights will also fit on a cub. I have one that came with A weights

To be clear for future readers of this post, while the weights fit a cub the A-140 weights are a different part number and are heavier and different dimensions than the cub weights. They also are speced to have 5/8 bolts not 1/2 bolts holding the weight to centers.

Hello inairam,

Wow that’s great info and the bolt size difference is very good to know ahead of time.

Thanks again to everyone

The cub centers take a 1/2 carriage bolt. The A-140 takes 5/8 carriage for the weights.

So if you put the A-140 weight on the cub you are using 1/2 bolts, which probably are ok, but the engineers at IH were more comfortable with 5/8.

In practical terms, the Cub and 140 weights weigh the same. In fact, I just checked a reference that shows the ones for a Cub are slightly the heavier. The 140 weights just aren't a very good fit on the Cub wheel disk. The poor fit makes it more difficult to get them centered and keep them in place while mounting. The bolt circle isn't even the same, just close enough to work. Installing them requires 1/2" bolts but they have to be longer than bolts for Cub weights. If you have the right hardware and get them in place, they work OK, it is just a bit of a nuisance to try to get them mounted.
