Mankee Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Does anyone know the above, please, to save me yanking out my diff just to put it on the bathroom scales? I had a look in the archives but couldn't find any concrete figures. I did hear that ZFs were quite heavy, but not sure by how much and relative to what other sorts of diff.

Mankee Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Gerry (2GBR) kindly weighed one of his clutch of diffs (see what I did there?) and gave me the info last night on the ZF: 7" Sierra diff with ZF and oil = 23.4kgsAnd on my bathroom scales: 7" Sierra diff with Titan and no oil = 21.8kgsSo not a great deal in it, especially when you consider one is dry and the other isn't.Think I'll change the thread title in case anyone else searches for it in the future and if info on other types of diff appear. Anyone got an open diff, Quaife, Tran-X, 3J or other unit they can care to weigh and add to the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted December 14, 2015 Member Share Posted December 14, 2015 ... one of his clutch of diffs...I saw what you did there! But isn't it more fun to slip them in without the warning? Maybe it's just a matter of opinion.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revilla Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 People just keep ramping it up with comments that have little or no bearing on the original subject. Makes me wonder what kind of LSD some of you are on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankee Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've just removed, drained and weighed my own ZF on the same bathroom scales and same location (hallway!) as when I weighed the Titan and I get: 7" Sierra diff with ZF and no oil = 22.4kgsSo 600g between the ZF and the Titan, i.e. the square root of sod all. However, 600g is 0.6kg so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBL Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 So 600g between the ZF and the Titan, i.e. the square root of sod all. However, 600g is 0.6kg so...I like the way you think, sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Cheers, Sean. Prop weights next. Weighed my standard prop at 3.8kgs. Will post up the weight of the upgraded one when I get it. Weight is secondary to strength as I don't fancy it flying apart! But the standard one has coped with everything I've thrown at it so far...By the way, met up with Ammo just before Christmas for a festive curry. He's back around here for a little bit. Can't believe it's been 2 years since he began his travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 My spare Quaiffe torque bias diff (fairly dry)22.5 kg (drive flange still fitted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 New prop is 5.1kgs. Doh! But it is built like a brick outhouse with upgraded and sealed UJs and a thicker tube, so it is going to take all the punishment that I'll ever be able to dish out. Cheers to Bailey Morris for amazing service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
