I believe that there are bolt on wheel weights you can get. If I remember correctly you can bolt to interior & the exterior. If a person doesn’t want to put fluid in the tires. I would go with weights as the fluid is nasty to work with when you have flats & corrosive to the rims but it’s operator preference.Nice. Are rear tires filled? Back down hills with any load in the bucket, on that 2wd machine.
Many run both weights and fluid, and there are several non-corrosive fills available today. Weights may be 75 - 150 lb. per set, but filled tires may be 600 - 700 lb. of extra weight on that size wheel.I believe that there are bolt on wheel weights you can get.

Looks like a good find & a valuable tool for your wood gathering. My uncle had a 185, the only problem with it was it didn’t have live power to the pto but I’m guessing that if your using it for skidding & loading that won’t be a problem. Looks like you need a set of forks for it also.

Nice size tractor dude! Perfect for gathering, and good hp too. Like the old stuff. Keep your eyes open for some chains on CL for it, and you can get through the junk with it if need be.
Picked up this D180 Allis Chalmers with loader for the low low price of $2555.00... Nothing wrong with it that I can find, starts and runs great, no oil or fuel leaks, doesn't smoke, starts on first crank. Time to take it out in the woods.

Does that loader have a quik tach for the bucket? It looks like it may be an older unit that are a PIA to change out bucket/forks. If it has the quik tach I would just buy a set bale forks for it. I have also seen where people have welded tubes on the inside of the bucket & then slide the forks in/out as needed, using bolts to hold the forks in. Most bale spear attachments for loaders just use 5/16” - 3/8” bolts thru the back to hold them on. Don’t mock my artwork it’s a rough draft. Those amazon units look sort of unreliable to me but maybe there are some folks on here that have experience with them.No live pto on the 180, but really only using for skidding and loading, looking at these 4000# bolt on forks from amazon.

Awful small bolt, but most of the time you see bolt holes in the bucket sides, it’s for attaching a tooth bar. I’ve never seen one use a bolt that small, but a google search does turn some up.No quick attach, but looking at the bucket it seems someone has bolted in forks before as there are sets of holes cut in on both sides, looks like half inch bolt size. I will probably just make a set myself and bolt them in.
