If you feel like you have received $30 worth of help form the members of this fine forum, you can become a supporter and then all your picture problems will go away! (Non-supporters are limited because storage space and bandwidth on servers costs $$$ and pictures use a lot!)  

I cant wait to see the pictures of your restoration!

How do I become a supporter?

[bmsgaffer 2,043]

I posted the link above in the words "become a supporter", or the link is in my signature, or at the top of the page it says Store (Support RS), or go here http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/store/

I'm a supporter, I got the 2 year deal, pictures still to big it says.

It works!

Here's how I got the suburban 

Tires will be here today from M.E. Miller. Tractor should be assembled by next weekend, then I'll rebuild the 4 hp engine.

Thanks for becoming a supporter! And that looks like its going to be one FINE looking suburban!

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Thanks for letting me know about being a supporter. I think after this one I'll tackle my 58 RJ.

What paint did you use?  Colors look right on and it laid out smooth.  

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

It's international red enamel and the wheels and seat are antique white. 

Rustoleum specialty farm equipment enamel is the name and they make all different tractor colors, it's great and comes out beautiful.

Here's some better pictures

Nice tractor and truck. Great job on the restoration. As the others have said it's a 60 Suburban 400. Not just the hood but the footrests too.

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

I work 3 to 11s, new ag tires and 3 rib fronts should be here today via ups. If they get here before I leave I'll post them up, once they get here and I pick up the tubes I'll start assembly and post pics as I go. 

Thanks for the info fellas. I'll try to correct the posting. It's my first resto and I just got into the hobby. 

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Tires just came in! 

[Pullstart 59,528]

Thanks for the pics of the truck, nice project and very era-fitting!  I've got a 69 Chevy C-10 long bed in pretty solid form, sure is a blast driving old iron around.

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

I love driving my old ford around. Reminds me of running around on the farm up in North Dakota as a kid. I just put it away for winter. Can't wait til Spring. 

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Just picked up the intertubes, going to have them mounted tommarow morning, getting new hardware for the assembly today also. 

[SylvanLakeWH 24,078]

Nice job on the restoration so far!

Looks great!

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Thanks, should have the frame and transmission together tommarow and the wheels on it. 

[AlwaysLookin80 1,308]

Alright fellas this is as far as I got today. Just realized I got the rear wheels the wrong way.
