Hello Dennis,
I just had a 519 shipped cross country. It was complete hub to hub, but without backing plates. It also had the starter motor still on. The weight with pallett was 164 lbs. Not the exact model you were looking for but it'll get you in the ballpark.

The 519 is appreciably lighter; figure around 200 lbs, depending on weight of pallet or crate; you do pay for that weight also.

Thanks for the Information. I figured around 200 Lbs but had no way to actually weigh it.

I weighed a few items the other day, just to collect some data. 741 tranny with rotors and calipers but no oil or starter is 168lbs.
