[AT] Case Wheel weights

[Mike Sloane]

I had the same problem with poor traction when using the loader on my 
Case 430CK, so I built a weight box using a plastic 55 gal. drum bolted 
to a three point drawbar and filled with scrap iron. I rarely need to 
remove it, but just dropping it down on a couple of cement blocks should 
not be a problem. The top is secured to the top link bracket with a 
chain. So far, it has worked out very nicely.

As far as using Rimguard, I think it is a great idea and would use it in 
place of calcium, but nobody around here sells it.
