Default M38a1/M170 tub weight

does anyone know how much a bare m38a1 (or, even better a M170) tub weighs? (completely stripped)

It's LIGHT. That parts A1 tub in the backyard could probably be picked up by 4 strong fellas. I can pick it up on one side and roll it on it's side by myself.

A guess on the weight? No clue.

Guess this post is worthless.

Myself + one other (often my girlfriend) lifting the "light" end can move the tub on the foor, or lift onto a low trailer. It takes 3 people to lift it back onto the jeep. Me + my girlfriend + my 58 year old uncle.

It's not all that heavy.
