Anyone know what the weight of the M113's FUP (engine & Transmission) is???? It's gotta be the heaviest part of the Vehicle right?

According to Hunnicutt's book, the engine weight for the M113 was 688 pounds (dry), the M113A1-A2 was 1310 pounds (dry) and the M113A3 is 1495 pounds dry. No weight data is given for the transmission, which obviously would add to the over wieght of the complete power train package.
