The sheet metal and front axle are the primary differences, the 551 Suburban was the first to go away from the three piece transmission. Lots of subtle differences but they were both the same basic size and configuration.

The steering was a big change for the better as well. The RJ's steer very quickly.

Depends on the model...  :confusion-shrug:

some had Kohlers, Clintons, Lausons, and/or Tecumsehs.

Don't forget the RJ-25, they had a Briggs & Stratton.

Good thing my wife can't tell the difference. I used to have a few more than I do now which were stored around in different places. She would see a new one and ask "when did you buy another one" but I would just tell her it was the same one I already had but moved it there.

Then I got caught once when Charlie Pitcher and his father stopped by for a visit. Not thinking, I had pulled them all out front to show them and she saw how many and flipped. " I knew you bought more! @#@$  *&^%^   )&%$# $#&^%  %$#$#@ %$##^%  $%$#* Blah Blah Blah!!!!!  2 days later there was a new 551.
