Had them installed in 10 minute and that included getting and putting away the tools. For the folks that had or are having issues installing the nuts in the back of the wheel, roll the tractor forward or backward to bring the holes to the bottom of the wheel. As far a shearing bolts, don't use a tool on installing the retaining studs. If they are too tight, once you get on the tractor, the tires will spread wider (your added weight) and the strain on the studs along with going over bumps can strip or shear the studs. They are only meant to hold the weight on, not support the tire pressure....

pinballnmacnut says "Flawed construction - don't recommend" about Craftsman QuikSecure Tractor Wheel Weights

Don't get me wrong - I love Sears Craftsman products for their quality and value. But I can't recommend these weights. I tried these on my YT 4000 yard tractor, to use for snow plowing. After just two weeks of light home use, the bolts on one side completely sheared off! That's completely unacceptable. I had the hassle of having to remove the other side, remove the remaining hardware from the failed side, lug the whole thing back to Sears, and then try something else (which also didn't work - the Suitcase Weight set, which didn't fit my tractor as advertised, meaning yet another trip to purchase my 3rd strategy, which finally worked - the rear weight kit). Why would two bolts completely shear off? Your guess is as good as mine, but I'm thinking poor quality steel from you guessed it, China. Stay away from this one.

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....

I installed these weights on my 42" Craftsman Professional Garden Tractor for use while plowing snow. First, I do not understand why one user complains about the installation process -- I installed the weights in my garage, wheels on the tractor, in 18 degree temperatures (so I was in a hurry) and had no problem doing so. Possibly the person that had installation issues did not have the proper tools. Second, my driveway is over 130 feet long, with a curve, and slopes down to the street -- to date, it has not been necessary for me to use tire chains, despite the fact that Sears did recommend use of chains, and traction has been great!...

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....
