I highly recommend adding wheel weights to your Craftsman tractor or for that matter any yard or lawn tractor if you have any kind of slopping terrain. Certainly you need them for increased traction when using attachments, but also just for cutting grass on slopes where you have trouble with wheel spin either going up or going down hill.
Make sure you get the right size or you will be taking them back as I did to get the correct size. They are easy to install and provide increased traction. I find them very helpful and wish I had purchased a set when I first got my Sears tractor a year ago.

this little bugger when bought in two adds plenty of traction to your tractor i just bought a set 4 winter and allready on the slopes its amazing no spinning it just climbs right up and over anything the cat the dog anything wow they are amazing go buy a set 4 the added traction and buy this style of set with the speed change cause when u need air its simple to take off and add air well i used enough of ur time ill never have a tractor with out them summer winter any time they dont hurt the yard either thanks craftsman 4 another wonderful product.
almost made the mistake of ordering wrong weights for my garden tractor but the store clerk was most helpful. got them with other attatchments and found them heavier than i thought but easy to mount and use. adds alot of traction to your tires when working ground engaging attatchments.
