You can take off the Hydraulic system, the complete PTO unit, and the fenders. You will have to make a plate to block off the hole where the PTO came out. If you have a mag, take off the starter , generator, and battery, then you can crank start it. If you have battery ignition, use the smallest battery you can find, take off the starter and generator anyway, crank start, and charge or switch the battery as necessary. Most Super C's have front wheel weights, have you taken them off? The Grill and hood will account for a few more pounds. Now we're getting picky, but a straight pipe weighs less than a muffler, you aren't using the lights, the guages or the wiring that went to them. You can go a little bit short on all the fluids, gasoline, gear oil, motor oil, and anti-freeze. I think the C radiator is a little bit smaller/lighter than the Super. If you still have the full length axle shafts you can cut a few pounds off of them, depending on how wide you want to set the rear wheels. If you could find a modern type hub that would fit the spindles, you could use steel rims instead of the cast front wheels. That's all I can think of right now, and I don't know how much weight that does amount to.
