Default Wheel weights on the Craftsman dys 4500

I gotta tell you, since I bypassed the seat kill switch and I added wheel
weights to the lawn tractor, I have really enjoyed the thing.
The 4500 feels a lot more stable when on a slope and when towing the lawn
sweeper the traction is way better.
If anyone is considering weights for this model, go for it.
I think I might also want to go with a wider tire, this thing only has 8
inch width tires on the back, my fathers Husqvarna has 10 inch tires,
but what benefit would it really give me? around here they are about
$60.00 each, and I gotta figure they are a pain in the butt to change, or
I could take them
to the garage so they can do it..

My regular auto garage changes small tires for me gratis - sometimes even
inserting a tube which I have supplied.

Be careful with that lawn sweeper - don't get any 10" logs caught in it.
