I installed these weights on my 42" Craftsman Professional Garden Tractor for use while plowing snow.

Only took about 25 minutes to install. A little hard to get behind the wheel but with the right tools not bad at all. Love the way they go on and off after the shaft is on. A lot better then my old ones.
very easy to install on my crafstman 4500. they help on hills and in ditch in my front yard. again they are very easy to install with a 3/8 ratchet 4" extension and a 9/16 deep well on the inside and a 3/8 stubby wrench on the outside. can be done in 15 min or less.
While they seem to work well they were terrible to install.
The shafts that come thru the wheelwell should be several inches longer.Probably would be easier to install if wheel was taken off.That would of course make the installation time much longer.
