Check out my garage/avatar and you'll get the most basic set up...
1) 3" sq tube (2 pieces of course), notched to clear the round bar behind where the tow hook used to be.
2) 4" x 5" or 6" angle.

Don't forget that most rules have a max length of 60" from the center line of the front axle. That includes the hanging weight. Good luck!

 

Anyone else have any good pics of their weight bracket? Is it better to have the weights higher- i realize that that requires you to lift the weights higher? I plan on using Case IH suitcase weights- THANKS Steven

My IH weights hang inside. Diamond plate doors open up and drop in from the top. Then you can use lead or tractor weights. Drives on and off the trailer with the go cart wheels mounted on the bottom.

 

Damn, that looks awesome!

 

ill dig up some pics of mine

 

heres mine

 

Thats pretty close to what i had in mind- simple and clean and all ends covered- I like it! THANKS Steven

 

So does it matter how high you have the weight? I know that the standard rule is 60'' from center of wheel to farthest point forward- is there any other rules to consider? THANKS Steven

Lower is better. But you need to take clearance into account also for pulling on to the scales. They get a little pissed off when you smash into the scale with your weights.
