1175

[Ohio Case]

On an open station tractor, without doing major surgery, how light can you get it down to with a 504 in it? Thanks

Mine was at 10,400 with driver. Wheels were factory steel (no cast ring) and the 3-point arms were off. No side frame rails. That may give you a starting point.

I would go get a 1370. Because you have Power Shift and Diff Lock .The weight striped would be Close to the same .

Got to stay under 10,000, would really like to be under 9500 to have some moveable weight. There's alot of cast under a 1370

its a HUGE undertaking to get a 1370 to 9500 but it can be done. i think it would be easier to get the 1175 to your target weght but a 70 series case has a lot of cast on them and they are heavy!! good luck

Completely strip the 3 point, all hydraulic lines/couplers etc. that you don't need, drawbar assembly, remove steps on both sides, (climb up the tires to get on), build a light-weight drawbar, go with pressed steel wheels, run one battery, run 15 inch front wheels and tires on the front. If you weight 250 or less, you should be able to make 9500 with 200 lbs. of movable weight.

970/1070 front end plate top cover remove all lift housings and hydrolic pump and pto plate backend put a 30 series or like wise pump on for steering and you can weigh just under 9000 depends on driver weight
