How much does an accessorised 6BT weigh? Can you pull one with a cheap chinese 2 ton cherry picker? Thanks.

 

1000-1100 give or take, I think.

 

Mine came out with one of those pickers. It wasn't happy about it but It did do the job.

 

I pulled the motor and tranny together. It was 1400 pounds as a pair.

 

No wonder the front springs take a beating. Thanks

 

I would just be real careful. My cousin put extensions on the legs of his so that they were farther under the truck. The dumb thing just tipped forward when we tried to jack it up. (motor only)

 

my cummins shop manual says a dry weight of 880lbs "minus the flywheel and electrics." the flywheel is around 55lbs and i don't know just what they mean by "electrics."

 

I believe that 880 may not include the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, starter, alternator, alternator brackets & mounting (no upper water outlet), no fan and possibly no fan mounting or power steering, vacuum pump or air compressor. In other words the basic engine no lube or residual coolant and before it becomes accessorized for specific use in a Dodge pick up, or a Ford medium duty chassis or even an air compressor.

 

1225 lbs with the 727 2wd auto.
