Isn't that a sweet, compact little device? I use it on the trailer often.

You can also use it to weigh each axle of your Model A. Use a floor jack under the scale and lift the front axle off the ground an inch or so. Read that weight. Then repeat on rear axle. Harder to do back there because differential sits lower to the ground. You have to get creative. I first put my rear tires on some 4x4's and then could fit the jack and scale under the axle.

You all be safe out there!
