PETTER A1 ,
JAP 4/4
WOLSELEY WD1 ,
WOLSELEY WLB WD2 ,

THIS WEEKEND WITH MY 4X4
THANKS KEV

i know a wolseley wd2 is 110 punds if i am right or there abouts , so im guessing that a wd1 is around the same weight .

hope this helps

This is a very good stab
Lister A = 176 kg
Wolseley WD 2 =110 kg
Wolseley WD 8 =130 kg
Petter A =100 kg
Jap =60 kg

Grand total =576 kg
Call this 600 kg better to be over on the calcalations

PETTER A1 ,

Shows 82kg on a 150kg spring balance.

Wolseley WD is well over 110lbs, more like 110kg (as Jonesey said). I seem to remember them being over 2cwt in old money.

Don't get mixed up Kev, there's 2.2lbs to each kilo, so it's over double the difference. I would say the Petter is more than 110lbs (which it is, if it's 82kg, which is over 180lbs)

Lister A depends on weather it's tank or hopper cooled. Tank cooled is a lot lighter on its own (with trolley & tank is a different issue).

I does happen from time to time that an old thread is dragged back up and I know it confusses me wondering where it came from etc then I check the date. Durrrrr :doh:

Glad to hear your sorted now Kev but the time that's past since the post was started those engine might be needing restored again now.
