Anyone have an idea what a stock 3.36 open third member weighs, just the jug. I have a guy who wants to buy one.

I have never weighed one but had mine out to re-seal it a few years back I'd guess about half of what a Muncie 4 speed weighs or less. Maybe 35 to 50 lbs. range, just a guess though. I could be way off.

bathroom scales will give you a close approximation.. .. ie. take the scale to the garage, rather than the diff to the bathroom..
Of course... but only with wheels.. not juice-dripping differentials..
I'm of the belief that the later design ('61? and later thru '64) are of a heavier construction, and thus should weigh more if that's true... Did you have weights for both the original design and the update design?
Rocky, I was speaking of the differential chunk *housing* castings, and I'm totally not sure there was a change in the Posi chunk housing casting number... or not?? I've been trying to figure that out as I have a '61 dated and '63 dated '812' P-casting posi carriers...
My understanding of the thicker vs thinner gears has to do with the ratio...

I weigh just about everything I ship with a bathroom scale. I've even weighed complete frames and clips on pallets. Seem simple to me, if you own a high tech piece of equipment like that.
