Weight of metal International canopy

Asked this on the int board, thought I'd ask this brain trust, What does an International metal canopy off a 684 utility weigh? I have to remove one tomorrow. Do I need a helper or rope blocks or my loader tractor? Appreciate any info.

Are you talking about the rollbar and the canopy or just a canopy, I use my loader to put the roll bar on my 4610 then we ended up making a wooden system to put on my brothers rotary lift to set the canopy down onto the rollbar I forgot what the shipping weight of the two were, but just the metal canopy alone was pretty heavy no way the three of us could lift it, at least not lift it to bolt it to the roll bar.
 
I probably didnt say that very well , we could lift the canopy up off the ground, but to try to climb up on the tractor with it and bolted it to the roll bar, no way. My brother has a car lift in his shop so we built some six by sixes with some crossboard going to all four points of the lift, set the canopy on it, drove the tractor under and lowed the canopy to the rollbar.
 
Wolfman, for the one on our 695 I use a ratcheting chain lift. Not so much that it is heavy, but awkward to handle even for two people, almost need a third person for the front. With the chain lift I can do it by myself without too much difficulty. Ours was made in local tin shop and bolts to the roll bar using holes that were already in roll bar. Paul
 
I had to take the top off my cab tractor to service the AC. I have a C purlin covered parking area of adequate height...10-12' high and dropped 4 ropes down. Drove up under the ropes and one rope at a time I went into the bolt holes for tie off points and was able to support it that way.
 
I used to take a forklift and set the forks under the roof metal. I also was lifting the roll bar off too. Balanced very well. Its really not very heavy-just awkward to handle otherwise. Mark.
