MM GBD weight

[J-Dub]

Im working on a Moline GBD for antique tractor pulling. Im wondering what it takes to get it under 7000 lbs. Im planning on not running the large fenders, no hydraulics, pto, or belt pulley drive. It has 34 inch rear wheels. What kind of weight am I looking at for a baseline? I dont have it assembled yet and am trying to figure out how much I want to try and get it under 7000lbs from the beginning if possible

Thanks for any help.

I JUST PICKED UP A GTBD , WHATS THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN YOURS AND MINE ? DO YOU HAVE THE 425 CID DIESEL MOTOR ?

A GTBD had a few differences. They used a different rear end that the GBD. The GBD had a heavier ring and pinion with thrust pads on the ring gear to help prevent a failure from side thrust. There were a few differences in the engine, but nothing to major. The parts all interechange I believe. Also the GTBD's had a smaller clamshell fender if I remember correctly.

We've got one that weighs about 6100 empty. We're using a set of Joe's hubs. Very high quality. No fenders, stock radiator and front axle, no axle support and 18.4-38's on pressed wheels. Pulls better with some weight though. Email me and I'll send you some pictures.
