Just need to find 2 more 5/8 x 1 & 1/4" UNC bolts and heavy washers to mount them on with now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis086 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 looking well were they needed or just a treat and might it not make the steering heavy might be an idea to talk to ursus old dealers or owners their copy of the 300 series was fitted with exact copies of the 100series weights im pretty sure they are the exact same only they are black we have a full set of 10 from our ursus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 well I never knew that Denis... They are needed for my linkbox... when I back into my soil pile to pick up a few good barrow loads, poor old Mavis pops a few wheelies which is a bit hairy on the roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis086 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 id imagine so the 165 can do that with the transport box full of bags of meal and she would be a bit bigger that mavis i removed the pic just so i didnt spoil your topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to remove the picture mate.. it was very relevant... in fact... I'd actually like to see it again :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 So correct me if I'm wrong, but are they 100 series weights and the 500/200 would be the 45 kg with latches on?? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis086 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 and a fair bit longer as well I guess Denis... No need to remove the picture mate.. it was very relevant... in fact... I'd actually like to see it again :'( alot longer come to think about it ill post it back up in a few minutes 200 series Denis rather than the 300 series. Indeed the Ursus 450 is very similar to the MF 250. we had a 490 but these were the weights that were given with it but i never knew these were based on 200 series the cab always seemed to be like the 300 series cab and nothing like the 290 we used have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thanks Alex... I think I'd rather drive Mavis too really... not for any long distance mind you :D John... the EARLY 240 used grey versions of the 100 series weights I do believe...
