james f Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Has anybody ever figured out what those funny cast weights that came with the Massey drill were for? I thought maybe they were for on top of the disc part underneath, or were meant to go in the box under the step. I never got a boxed one so I'm not sure if they were just for packaging purposes? Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=741&item=6960298655&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 They go in the box under the step on the rear, I presume they are to add traction to the Tyres that are the wrong way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Mine is an early one too, I seem to think the one I bought my son 5 or 6 years ago did not have weights when new, one thing is for sure, It definately doesn't have any now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I've had some with and some without, had no idea what to do with them when I was younger, more concerned with why seed would not come out of the seed drill. Guess they realised weight costs money to ship...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 most of mine have weights, well the boxed versions. IHP i had salt come out of my drill quite easily when i was young, i drilled the holes bigger wiht my dads powerdrill...shouldnt have really as my mum wasnt pleased with salt lines on the landing carpet!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwross Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 In the "real world" the weights were to increase penetration into hard ground. The 130 was for driling direct into stubble . The 30 was the more conventional drill David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilpek Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 i currently have one set of weights in a ford 8730 cab and the other in a mf 6180 cab using them as tool boxes, couldnt figure wat they were for.... do they even fit into the step on the back of the drill properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
