737-300/500 wheel load weight distribution

Good day all,

am seeking assitance on trying to determine the weight thats 'loaded' on each landing/gear wheels that contact a surface - I.e. a hangar floor.

A 737-500 has an MTOW of 61 tons approx. So when an aircraft is parked on the ramp/hangar. What weight load is on the nosegear/left/right.

I'm assuming 1/3 of the weight is on the front gear/wheel ?

Appreciate any assistance on this.

cheers
Dom
