Stupid cab question

[blazin8556]

Anyone know about how much a regular cab weighs? Just the cab I'm wondering if my father in laws 26hp mahindra will lift it off the frame of the truck and set it aside. The tractor struggles with a 3 bay snap on krl1022 with no drawers. Thanks

Is it stripped? No doors, interior, front clip or anything?

I would think it would do it with ease. I helped my friend lift the cab off his f250. It took 6 of us to lift it high enough to get a fork lift under it. His was a single cab.

I'll probably pull most stuff off of it and probably pull the seats but leave to doors on

The more you remove the lighter it will be, as is just pulling body mounts and disconnecting all the cables and wires your lookin at probably 7-800 pounds maybe more

I don't exactly have one of those sitting around lol


I don't mind gutting the cab cause it needs it anyway. Most everything inside is broke or just too worn out. I wanted to leave the glass and doors in for now so it'll all be protected from the elements but I guess if there is nothing inside the cab there is nothing to protect.

I lifted a regular cab (stripped of everything but glass) with an engine hoist...

And a goofball buddy of mine used a cheapo ching chong 1 ton chain hoist on his...

You just gotta be careful not to whack the glass with the chain, and also the strap will tend to flatten a small amount of the bead that holds the weatherstrip in place. Easy fix.
