Speaking of tractor weight..... the book we have says that the early 1947 Model A JD weighed 3783 lbs and the late '47 and up to 1952 weighed 4909 lbs. Is that a misprint? Could that tractor have gained 1126 lbs? What was changed? This tractor doesn't SEEM that much heavier than the 1941 AW that I used to run.

Those cast wheels are what adds a lot of weight. Mine weighs 5500 pounds with cast wheels.

CJDave;

I have a 49 "A". It weighs 5000 lbs to 5100 lbs depending on the scales. This is without me on it. It has cast wheels (no fluid) power Trol, and starter system. BUDD

Wasn't it the addition of cast wheels instead of pressed ones primarily? By the way, my JD operators manual that came with my '47A says the tractor weighs 5,500 pounds.

It's a mystery to me, but then again I'm a little unfamiliar with the "A" model line, since I only have experience with a '41 AW which had round spoke wheels in back and no external weights whatsoever. There is a grain elevator just three and one-half miles away in town. I have plans to take this tractor to town and take a photo of it backed partially up the ramp of the old, abandoned railroad platform where it was unloaded as a new tractor, so when I do that, I'll drive it over the scale at the grain elevator and see what it says. Thanks for your response.....Dave
