| If they are the genuine factory Allis Chalmers weights they weigh 125lbs. each. There are also different aftermarket ones so it would help to know exactly what you have. Don Jr. |

Set it on a scale and weigh it. Bathroom scale would do the trick. Put a couple short 2x4's on top of scale. Put the weight on top.

| I was always under the impression that the factory weights were 150 for the rear & 80 or 90 for the fronts. If you do the scale thing, let us know the results. I know the rears were a test for one person to get those suckers back on. |

| Shipping weight is 130 lbs from an old Sales Book. I assume it had some sort of throw-away wooden pallet strapped underneath it for forklift handling. |

Also an air wrench or something like that is very handy… ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD, 1963 A-C D17 series 3 |
