yep, that is the spec i was using... super helpful.

i don't know too much yet -- wish the VIN was more specific. it is a '52, and sounds like it might have the PTO/tilt, so i guess that could account for the weight like wetwilly points out.

btw, is a 'platform/flatbed' just a 'grain bed' w/o the side rails?

going to see it in person tomorrow, so i'll know a bit more (will take measurements and photos).
