Default Axle weights on a Model A?

Has anyone put their A's across a truck scale and noted the weights on the front and rear axles? No truck stops with scales near me and I don't want to go to the IDOT weigh station (They don't have set open hours and I'm not a fan of theirs anyway). Thanks, Clyde VanEvery

Oh Well, I thought someone might know. I'll just have to bite the bullet and go to the IDOT scales. Thanks anyhow, Clyde

Checked mine twice about a year apart. Did not make note of amount of gas in tank. Both times I was the only occupant. 1929 Tudor.
Car weight: front 1240 rear 1400
front 1280, rear 1440

The land fill here has scales, so does the landscape material place, call around. I've never seen an IDOT open~ must be due to the lack of state funds.

if your state leaves the DOT scales on when they are gone , go there . it seems that most states leave the readout on ...............
