Weight of Cummins crate engine for M925-A2

[MrChuckles]

I just bought a new-to-me M925 with a converted dump bed. Itg comes with what appears to be a remanufactured engine. It will arrive to me in the back of the truck. I'm concerned I don't have any equipment big enough to unload it. Does anyone have an idea what the crate motor might weigh? My mini exec can lift around 3,000 lbs, but no more.

Thanks,

Chuck

8.3 is around 1650lbs dressed. Probably a 400lb crate.

Brilliant. Thank you. I should be able to handle it out of the truck bed.

Just to follow up, the motor and crate combined weighed about 3,500# to 4,000#. My mini-ex couldn't handle it. I ended up paying a guy $70 who was delivering sheetrock to use his Moffet. It was rated at 6,000# and placed the motor nicely in the corner of the shop.

A small cam motor weighs that. So the engine you are wanting this post to refer to is an nhc250 which weighs 3600 in the crate and not the smaller 8.3l of the A2 trucks.

Maybe a mod can correct the title.

2 different motors in 350 cubic inch size difference

Thanks. When I originally posted I didn't know the differences in the A2.
