What is the Curb weight of say a 50s to mid 70s tractor?

1950's to 1970's or 50-70hp. new 50-70hp tractors 2wd anywhere from 3000 to 7000lbs if your talking in years anywhere from 2500 to 20000

Sorry,Years and I mean semi Tractors.Got a few ideas for my model railroading and want to make sure everything is Kosher.Don't want 150tons on a car that can only rated for 100 tons

I would say 12,000 to around 22,000, depending how it was equipped. My '78 Kenworth W900, 42" sleeper w/400 Cummins,10 speed,4spd aux trans, 44,000lb rear-ends,aluminum frame weighed in at 20,000 full of fuel.
Hope this gives you some numbers to work with.

My B is 12K by itself. It's a little short s/a model, so it's pretty light.

Unladen weight on my Pete's is about 17,800. I can't help with older stuff though.
