Chassis weight
Would anyone have a rough guess as to how much one end of a F60 chassis would weigh?
I have a trailer axle/wheels to put under one end, for when I move the bare chassis to/from the sandblasters, and was thinking about using a solid rubber trailer jockey wheel at the other end. That would give a degree of lateral manouverability while at the blasters. The chassis will need to be wheeled from blasting booth to the engineering shop floor, where they will make & attach the rear cross member.
I was originally intending to get a second axle setup for the other end, but thought a jockey wheel might be worth considering, provided it can handle the weight of one end of the chassis!
What do you think?
