I can't get to scale till friday.
Looking to guess weight on Farmall B. No battery or starter, Hand crank only 2) cast rear wheels
regular and swinging draw bar, front wheels weights oil and half tank of gas. Anybody care to give me a # guess your best. Oldiron29
 
Antique tractor guide say is is around 1830lbs. So it should come in around a ton give or take a bit plus also depending on if some one is sitting on it and have skinny or fat that person is LOL
 
What can I say other then I just know what the book says and I know the times I have hauled them they where no more load the my JD-B or my Allis C and both of those are in under 2500lbs
 
I don't think you guys no the cast wheel centers got to weight between 150-200 lbs each.
Not stamped steels dishes
 
I built a heavy wide front for my B using a steering box off of an A, and I also run the cast centers. Myself weighing in at 235 lbs, it weighs just a pound or two under 2700 lbs. when I don't have any weights hanging on it.

Start from 1830, add 400 for the diff between the steel and the iron wheels, another 90 for front wheel weights, and the 2300 neighborhood isn't far off the mark, especially without a battery or starter. I'd not be losing much sleep of the the 30-35# or so of a half-tank of fuel.
