Need some Model A help.....

.....anybody got a ballpark idea of Model a weight for frame, front and rear axle, fenders, wheels and steering column. I'm just wondering if my homemade utility trailer could handle it if I transported it 260 miles.

 

I transported an A frame, engine, trans and rear end, plus the radiator, wheels and other****orted stuff 200 miles in a 10 foot stake-side untility trailer. No problems, chassis was propped up over the tailgate.

 

That just about answers it for me then. Thanks.

 

Just to be safe repack the trailer wheel bearing before you leave, and have a spair.

 

It'll handle it we hauled a Cuda on one...you want to talk tight!

 

I'd say the total weight falls between 650 & 750#.

That's erring on the generous side and it could be as low as 550#.

Don't forget to air up the trailer tires - that's probably the biggest cause for trailer problems I know of.
Right behind the bearing bit as mentioned.
