Hi, I have a Farmall 504 that I need to move and was wondering if someone could tell me the approximate weight of the calcium loaded tires so I can find out if my flatbed guy can haul. I am 75 miles from the machine so can’t tell you exact tire size. Flatbed guy said close is good enough, can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
 
here is a good chart for tires. your 504 should have 13.6 x 38 rear tires

according to Tractor Data that tractor is 5430 # and up to 8075# loaded up which seems a little heavy to me

whats the truck he is planning on using?
 
I cannot edit my post so want to add the chart is for water. add about 4-5# per gallon of water for the calcium chloride
is been decades since I mixed it since I just do r&r s on my own tractors nowadays but its close enough
 
Thanks for the info he has two roll off trucks I don’t know their models but I think the info you gave me
should answer his question. Thanks again
 
The weight range from tractor data goes from the lightest possible factory configuration to the heaviest possible factory configuration.

5430lbs is likely a gasoline tractor with no fenders, no weights, narrow front end. It may even be full "dry" weight with no fuel or oil either.

8075lbs is likely a diesel tractor with flat top fenders, two (or maybe three) sets of rear weights, wide front, and full front weights as described in the owner's manual.

I do not think that tractordata even considers liquid ballast.
 
I know most Farmall 504's had either 12.4x38 or 13.6x38 rear tires. Fluid fill to valve stem high is considered 75% full, typical concentration of calcium chloride was 5# per gallon and the 12.4x38 held 500#. The 13.6x38 held 550#.
Your trucking guy must have F-350 or 450 sized rollbacks, the 504 is about the heaviest thing they should haul.

I found your weight difference between gas and diesel a little excessive and also the Tractor Data weights high as I stated before - 8000 #?! thats very heavy for a tractor thats not much more cast than an H
also I do not believe fenders were optional at that time and it appears in this listing they were not optional

ssooooo, after I posted that I thought I should check my Nebraska Test book because they weigh them down heavy and I always thought Tractor Data got most of their info from those tests. I don't know if thats correct but
the diesel was tested with front and rear ballast and weighed in @ 8075#
the gas 504 was loaded up to 7870#
thats a lot of ballast :idea:
