I have a single front wheel setup on it and am down to 5600 lbs any other ideas to loose a few more pounds. I am up for suggestions, thank you in advance. [Reply]   [No Email]

Mine run between $600 and $800 depending on how long and how much I take off. A pair for a G would be $600. An A would be similar.

I thought he said they are 70 or 75 to start with. He has some for sell or will turn yours for you. He does all brands. [Reply]  [No Email]

Serious tp's drill their rear axles. cut windows in their bull gears. Is the pto completely gone. permanent magnet starter. Do away with all the fan drive. Radiator, I doubt you can even carry it. A little Honda one will work. MT front. including the gear box. Your hitch and wheelie bars, can you build others that weigh half as much and you can still jack it up with them. The list goes on and on. I bet you can loose another 800 to 1000 lbs. [Reply]  [No Email]
