How heavy's my body?

flatlander · Nov 14, 2016

Well, not mine, but the body of a County 90. I'm looking at the best way to lift the body off when I change the chassis. I'm thinking of renting a small digger JCB type thingy, but need to have some idea of the weight.
I have a tree above where it's parked, but will have to move the body across grass and gravel to get it out of the way.

2 people can lift an empty 90 tub off,though for a chassis change i prefer to lift body off as a whole

I was intending to lift the whole body off, seems to save a lot of problems with aligning bits.

It takes two to lift a bulkhead too. with roof, sides, tub and wings you must be at 500kg

I think the front bucket/arms of a jcb would cope easily. if you can get the forklift arm attachment/bucket it will make things easier.
