Was wondering how much a unstyled WC weighs, so that I know how much weights I will have to add and where for pulling. Right now it does have electric starter housing and a battery. I haven't figured out what i am going to do for rear tires/rims. I have a set of newer dished rears and 28" tires on it. Could also put a set of 24" spokes on it, or might find a set of 34" or 38" rims and tires and custom make up some centers to take up the 6 bolt pattern. Just looking for a ball park number so that I can figure what I am going to need for weights. Probably going to pull around 4500-5000 lb. classes. Not too many lighter classes around here.

It's going to weigh about 3,100 to 3,200 Lbs, if it is complete with fenders, pto, belt pulley etc. and 24" spokes. Kip

I weigh 180-190, and on the tractor we weigh in at 3500 or a touch over.

I have a verry heavy battery, roughly 75 pounds heavier than a standard small 12V battery. The engine block is heavy, the girdle system and it's full of hard block so it's probably a good 25 pounds heavier than one with water. The flywheel and clutch is heavy, roughly 50 pounds heavier than a standard one. The rims are heavy and I run tubes in them. My frame is lengthened, there's 25 pounds or more extra in the oiling system. THe hitch and wheelie bar setup is pretty light, so only 50 pounds or less than a standard hitch.

I know one with standard parts and light rims could end up an easy 300-400 pounds less to be in the 3100-3200 with driver. Our classes were alwayse 3500-5500 pounds so I never had an issue.
