I recently purchased a large amount of tractors and equipment for scrap price and there is one item I am debating on but don't have a clue as to what it weights. Anyways can anyone tell me the weight of this truck and what model IH it is?

from what i can see of it that is a ih emeryville westcoaster, well worth saving it should weigh between 10 and 12 thousand lbs if the engine and all other equipment is still in it probably has either a old 220 or 262 cummins or a detroit in it

If it's a full tandem it's going to put a bad hole in 10 tonne. That's assuming that it's Cummins powered...
I say 10 tonne, but 8 might well cover it too, but I'd err towards the heavy side since there doesn't appear to be too many lightweight options on that old girl...

That's the "Cherrypicker" cabover from the early fifties. "Comfovision" winshield.

She's a complete old girl and ran when they parked it because it didn't have brakes. I will probably get it if I can find a guy to haul it and a 955 Cat on the same load for a decent price.
