for lead weights, try your local tractor salvage yard. bobcat, caterpillar, john deere, and kubota dealers will also have the weights. they sell the flat weight blocks for the front of their tractors and at 100# each it doesn't take many to see the difference. i bought mine used at a salvage yard and then painted them in epoxy to keep from rusting. i spent about $100 for 700 lbs of tractor weights. if you're real handy you can always make your own lead blocks. there have been many threads on this site in the past on how to do that. local tire store sometimes will give you buckets full of (used)lead balancing weights and then you melt at home in tin to shape blocks and wallah...
