Hi,
I’m looking at a 1955 Case 401 with Swartz wide front end and would like to know if anyone could till me how much work it would take to get it in the 5,500 lbs weight class?

Change to pressed steel wheels, drop PTO and hydraulic chunk off of rear, build custom drawbar out of lighter material and you should be very close. 5500 lb. is very easy.

But I need the PTO for dyno test.

Put it in to DYNO then take it out to pull.

You would only have to lose about 1100 LBS.
