So started using my new to me mqchine to dig up a few stumps and noticed there are no weights on the front of the tractor. Does this vintage machine supposed to have weights on the front end? The tractor pulled the front bucket off the ground quite a few times and these were easy stumps.
My 1700 has weights around the radiator (250kg) and if I remember, axle weights too.
weights for front end - 87 3CX?

Went to look at a 86 1400b for a parts machine and this unit had weight in the front. Guess this was added later. Sorry pic is upside down.

The other thing is to use the back hoe bucket crowd to loosen the stump rather than directly pulling and lifting with the dipper and boom. If you have the room, keep working around the stump.
