So I would like to try to get my A down to 4500lbs. Just wondering if anyone has gotten a late model A down that far. I have seen several unstyled A's down there but none like mine. is it even possible?
Tractor details:
1951 JD A
if I remember correctly it is about 5000 lbs empty right now.. been about a year since I have pulled it, so my memory is a little rusty.
Parts already removed:
Oil bath air cleaner and stack
shutters
cast hubs (have 9 bolt rims on currently)
I'd like to remove the back cover and hydraulics and put an aluminum flat back on it. Can anyone tell me how much weight I could loose doing this?
Also considering remaking my weight brackets and wheelie bars from aluminum.
And how about getting rid of the radiator and putting a light automotive radiator with an electric fan?
Attaching a couple photos to show the tractor.
