I found my post where I measured the actual weights of a 8 3/4, came in at right around 200 lbs WITH brakes. I find it hard to believe that a 9 inch housing and an 8 3/4 housing weigh all that much different. The 3rd member vs center section I can see a difference as the 9 inch is beefier and oval shaped vs round.
I would think the axle housing tubes of a 60 would weigh as much as the entire housing of a 9 or 8 3/4.
Not arguing just surprised
