Can anyone tell me the weight of an axle housing, drum to drum? Also, any estimates on a pair of wheels and tires? I'm curious as to the unsprung weight of a midget.
 
Matt, according to my book, the rear axle weighs in at 83 lbs. I've never actually weighed one, but from moving and lifting plenty of them, that seems about right with everything installed.

Cool! Now, does anyone know the weight of a wheel and tire? I'll measure mine this weekend, but wanted to know if anyone already knew this.
