Can anyone tell me what the maximum rear axle weight on a mk1 is? Can't find a plate on mine

I've got 610KG here. Disclaimer - info from a photo of a vin plate in my mk1 golf/scirocco haynes manual as strangely it doesn't list axle weights in the general dimensions, weights and capacities section.

That's good enough for what I want. Or rather, it isn't! Was hoping it would take a ton. Ah well, back to the drawing board...

Want to mount a stationary engine and cast iron saw bench on a trailer. I have a spare mk1 rear beam, a welder and a pile of box section. You can see where this idea was going...
