F15a weight
Hello everyone,
can anyone tell me the weight of a F15a? The manuals that I have don't mention anything on weight except breaking strength of the winch.

Paul, I seem to think that my 15cwt was around 7000 lbs.

I ran my C15A through an authorized transfer station scale last year...just a touch under 8000#. Tarp, bows, full fuel tanks, no driver. (I think this is what's referred to as "curb weight").
This is a WIRE-5 cab with a 2J1 GS box, if that means anything.

This is where Bill Greg's reprint of Canada's fighting vehicles comes in handy. It was origionally intended to give specifications for purposes like shipping. It lists a Ford 15cwt cargo as Front: 3790
Rear: 3440 and a Chevrolet as Front: 3740 Rear: 3670 Not sure why a chev would be heavier in the rear, unless it's cause of all that built up mud from the steady oil leaking.

Ow! Rob...what a zinger!
Not fair that you make such a comment since I'm going through a severe engine oil leak problem right now. With all that oil below decks, at least the effects of rust will be minimized! So, all up, 7410# sounds about right?

The "curb" weight is actually refered to as the TARE weight, which is the Total At Rest Empty. This includes the weight of the vehicle, fuel, oil, spare wheel and tools (for British 4x2 15cwts usually around 6cwt or 672lbs).
The total weight of the vehicle is the TARE + payload (in this case 15cwt or 1,680lbs= 3/4 ton) + weight of driver and his mate. Keep in mind that the payload is a cross-country payload, post-war 15cwts were often loaded for on-road use to 1ton or 2240lbs. Cheers, Dave
