Weight of a 1966 Deuce

[islandguydon]

I am looking for any TM which shows the weight of a standard Deuce. I have looked all over and can,t find it in any book. I can not have it weighed so I need to go by a TM for this.....?

Any suggestions where I can find such a thing........?

The data plate on the dashboard will have it. Should be about 13,500.

Mine is never empty, with the dog and I it usually scales around 14,000. I would say Gimpy is right on the money.

You might want to download the -10 if you haven't already, it will cover all of that sort of data in it. It's pretty accurate, the military needs to be able to use those numbers for shipping weights, etc.

Have you tried the wiki page ?

I need something official to give our Sectary of State for a title transfer. The truck is 1200 miles from me and there is no way to weight it. They would accept a TM or standard info that has the weight printed on it but I have yet to find such a beast.

I took a copy of the data plate with me one time.
If I remember I can make a scan of a plate tonight.

Don, are you asking about an M35 or an M109a3?

 

[islandguydon]

M35 standard Deuce, thanks Gimp.

Note that different versions of the TM present the data in different ways. The later ones only list the rough terrain payload capacity, good if you want a lower weight, bad if want to able to haul 10,000 lbs. Also, the empty weight varied slightly, I assume as the standard equipment changed.
I've attached the applicable pages out of the 4 versions of the -10 I've got.

I had to go get my Deuce weighed for registration purposes. The DMV lady even gave me the address of the scales, and the Weighmaster weighed me for free. My dataplate states 13, 050 w/o winch, and 13, 500 w/ winch. I weighed in at 13,500 plus.

My winch truck scaled at 13580 empty. No tools nothing, and had 1/4 tank of fuel.

 

[gunboy1656]

Still have a copy of the scale ticket at home

My M35A2 weighs right about 13,500 wo/w, with troop seats, tarp, and bows. Full tank and BII in the tool box. I weighed it at a CAT scale.

My SF-97 has weight shipping #13030 and GVWR 23030 printed on it . I had no issues titleing in michigan with it and the bill of sale , in and out of the S.O.S. office . Do you have your SF-97 ?

Adding here rather than making a new post(even though it doesn't help the OP)

Weighted my 1971 Deuce on a 4 plate scale today
Configuration: 9.00x20 tires, Hard top, spare tire in place, Troop seats in place, no heater, no winch, 1/2 tank of fuel.

LF RF
3040 lbs 3025 lbs

LR RR
3390 lbs 3650 lbs

Total 13105lbs.

I am going to try to get the weight over the front and rear axles independently tomorrow. It should be the same with the walking beam, but it is always fun to verify such things.

i went to the scrap yard and the weighed me at 13320 w/w. that seams a little light to me.

That might be low, bet thay are low balling the weight across the scale to pay less, I would reweigh some place like a cat scale, then turn in the scrap yard in

 

[big hoss]

i just checked and the closest cat scale is over 45 min away. what about the dump do you they will be accurate?
