Does anyone have any idea how much a stripped cab on a 41-46 will weigh? How many people will be required to lift it off of the frame safely? thanks!

Clint, Without the doors and glass my son and I lifted the cab off and back on after painting.
I was concerned about scratching the paint both on the frame and the cab.
I placed a blanket on the frame. Then carried the cab over the back and set it onto the blanket. Then one corner at a time, I removed the blanket.
Of course we are big boys, but it can be done.
Good luck!

Thanks for the help so far fellow Bolters!

Two of us have lifted the cabs on my 40 and 46 without much of a struggle. My guess would be 250 lbs
