seyser Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I have one on a pallet. I would guess in the 400-500 lb range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 My fully dressed B-61 cab including doors and interior hanging from the scale on my gantry crane was 1230 pounds. It was complete and just lifted off the frame. The only thing missing was the center panel of the floor. The driver's seat is a Bostrom "T bar" and those are heavy.

Rob Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Cabs themselves are not heavy. Everything stuffed into them including the loaded doors adds up quick. Boston T-bar seats are in excess of 50# each. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Freightrain Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yes, I can attest to those T bar seats being HEAVY!! Ugh, had mine in/out a few times over the years and what a back breaker to do yourself. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Rob Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yes they are. Best with two people to handle them and then be careful you don't scratch something. Right down to bare metal you go with those things. I have two in my 57 B-61 and one in the 58 which the cab was pulled from.
