minivin Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 seem to remember reading somewhere that the gearbox alone was 60Kg, so 120Kg maybe it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 i reckon about 140/150kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Well a R380, LT230 and new clutch on a pallet from Ashcrofts said 100Kg on the courier packing slip when I got mine, LT77 is going to be about the same, so knock 5-10Kg off for the pallet...

JST Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 fair one Simon Q - can you dead lift it? i cant, but can deadlift 100kg therefore my reasoning for it being heavier wheres Dave when you need him. i expect i have just got weaker with age!!

will_warne Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I reckon about 70 - 80 kg for each. I've lifted both separatly and I don't think there's a lot of differance between an LT230 and an R380 also together they seem to weigh less an a tdi engine (200kg). FYI, they weigh significanly more than an 8274 at 50kgs. James, I think the shape has a lot to do with it. An LT230 is particularly difficult as there's not a lot to grip whereas a gearbox has an output and input shaft you can hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I've got a bare LT230 in the back garden - no handbrake or levers (Not yours fridge) Thrown it on the bathroom scales (the garage ones) 40kgs Fresh out of LT77's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

istruggle2gate11 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 fair one SimonQ - can you dead lift it? Yep! Not an Lt95 though, much more difficult to get hold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If they're not bolted together!!! R380 is easier as its more compact. LT230 is a right bl**dy s*d when ur lying on ur back under the chassis and trying to lift it on to the main box, not helped by the weight not being equally balanced....

JST Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i took it that they were together for the lifting. as Wills says about 70kg each i reckon this with or without oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 i took it that they were together for the lifting.as Wills says about 70kg each i reckon this with or without oil? You've also go the input gear and handbrake to add.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Diesel Jim lifted a complete series gearbox/transfer box out the back of his truck and carried it down my drive once - I couldn't even get one off the deck. He's a strong bloke for a skinny dwarf! Les. (sorry Jim) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
