I'm hoping that someone can identify this suitcase weight. I have six of them and they were left behind at a home I bought a couple years ago. At first, I thought maybe they were from a White garden tractor because of the gray color and I also considered Kubota and Allis Chalmers but I can't find any like them on the interwebs with the same shape or the markings these have. The only two markings are the "D209" and the three slash "A" or "V" or? Anyone have a clue?

It certainly does bear some resemblance to the Agco logo and it matches their weight color.


But the D209 doesn’t come up with anything matched up to that.

Try Versatile, might be off of one of their bi-directional tractors. Or Vermeer, off of a trencher or directional boring machine.

Looks more like Vermeers logo.

I have seen that logo many times... Unfortunately I am not sure where . My first thought was Vermeer as there's a dealership in Lubbock that I drive by a lot - but their current logo doesn't look like that.

Companies change their logos all the time to make them look more "modern", so it still might be one of theirs.

I've searched and searched the names mentioned, nothing. I tried vintage logos too but nothing yet. Someone will recognize them sooner or later.

This might be helpful.

To make it even more interesting, when I found them, they were all bolted together through the one hole you see and it had this hitch like thing bolted through one of the weight slots. Seems to be made just for these weights too with its own number of D324.

Are you pretty sure it's a tractor weight? There are some pretty strange looking elevator weights, too.

 

[j. white]

Clyde, I really have no clue. The only thing that make me think that they are for a tractor (or some excavating?) is they were laying together with a home made snow plow and a small three point tiller that appears to still work.

Looks like some skidsteer counter weights I've seen. Allot of times they are rounded like that.

Pfft

Seriously Joe,
I’m as anxious as you to see what these guys come up with. Stubborn bunch will figure it out

aftermarket casting for a New Holland ?

I've seen that logo before, and my mind say's it's from the eighties, and possibly the nineties.

Long time lurker. I like a challenge so did some digging and then joined when I found the answer.

:ding ding ding: Looks like we have a winner.

My hats off to you Boiler. I found the logo image online but it couldn’t connect back to anything. Nice work and welcome to GTT.

 

[Kbar]

Welcome to GTT Boiler and nice find!

 

[j. white]

Welcome Boiler and darned fine investigating! I kept trying names with an "A" and "V"

Who-da-thunk it was a Foton? (new one on me) and sure enough the weights on the front of that Foton look just like mine.

I got me a fine mess of Foton suitcase weights AND the picture to prove it.

 

[Big]

AHHH the Foton, the Chinese knockoff of the Mahindra

Well done Boiler, I gave it the old college try but failed. Welcome to GTT
