RC Vs WC weight

Perfect example as to why Tractor Data is usually WRONG!!!!!!!! Lists the WC at 3300 lbs, which may be close, lists the RC at 4005 lbs. Basic difference between the two is that the RC has a C engine/radiator in it- which is smaller and LIGHTER than the WC 201 engine.
 
The difference is steel wheels versus rubber tires. In test #303, the steel-wheeled WC weighed 3,175. In test #316, the rubber-tired RC weighed 4,005 pounds. A rubber-tired WC would come it at about 4,500 pounds.

I'd like to think it isn't "WRONG!!!" but just not clear enough as to where the data is coming from. In any case, I'll have it fixed when I get home tonight.
 
but i think the finals are lighter in the rc, and there is no outboard support on the pinion gear.
 
my 1936 wc with 14.9x24 tires and spocked rims with fluid weights around 3,500 lbs. depending on how much fuel is in the tank. shipping weight for a 1947 wc was listed around 2,900 lbs.
 
Here"s the best that I could come up with. I reference three separate sources, including Wendel and Swinford.

--WC--
2,700 shipping on steel
3,300 shipping on rubber
4,545 ballasted on rubber for test #303

--RC--
2,495 shipping on steel
3,204 shipping on rubber
4,005 ballasted on rubber for test #316
