How much does this BN weigh?

I just purchased this Johns forklift(Farmall BN conversion). I'm trying to figure out about how much this tractor weighs for shipping purposes. Then I will add what I think the extra frame and forklift gear weigh. Any idea how much the tractor weighs? Also, what year would this be about? Oh, and where is the serial number?

PS. The guy I purchased it from has 3 more of these that he'll be listing on ebay very soon. Two like this one, and one made from a rowcrop BN. These Johns forklift conversions come up for sale very rarely. He got 4 of them in an auction, and now he's selling them.
 
A Farmall B is around 2,000 lbs. from factory. Than you are going to have figure out what all the extras weigh on it.
 
Here is a link to one of them. If I (a) lived nearer to there and (b)
had more money I would be very interested, they look like a handy
setup for moving logs, among other things.

The 3rd one not listed is the tricycle front end one that has a smaller mast and lift cylinder(less lifting capacity, but probably turns sharper).

I found a web page for the weight of a BN that says 1800 lbs. It shows a trickle front end. I would This has a wide power steering front end unlike any I've seen in pictures. I imagine this would a add a few hundred pounds.
So I'm figuring 2100lbs plus 2000lbs for the forklift gear = 4100 lbs for an estimate. Even if I put another 500 lbs fudge factor, that's still not terribly heavy in the hauling world. I think even car carrier should be able to haul it?[/url]
