For starters, what have you done so far? What does it weigh? What would you like it to weigh? You can do anything from yanking the PTO, 3pt, fenders and such, all the way to removing the cast nose and steering column, and a whole lot more.

Fenders won't gain you much. If you bolt them to your cage and remove the brackets you save about 100 lbs. Switching fenders out will only net a gain of around 50 lbs.
