A friend of mine has a 25' 1972 Volunteer Midas that he is willing to give to me since he's buying a new TT. It's in decent shape, just needs some updating. Problem is, we have NO IDEA how much the thing weighs. He knew at one point (when he got it) but can't remember for the life of him what the exact weight is. Does anyone have any idea what the weight may be or where I can find out???

Thanks in advance.

This is easy take it to the local weight facility? Find a Feed Store, or some Gravel yard or something. Many of them have scales. you should try and get all individual axle weights if possible? Don't know why but thats what most everyone on this site has decided. Good luck

Here is a dealer who carried the Midas Volunteer back then. Might be a place to start.

Here is a forum thread from a person who has one.
