little pond ponys 8 #4 Posted September 23, 2017 OK I would have thought the year was earlier but what do I know the trans doesn't seem to shift into gear so this could be real fun and thank you dells68 for the info here's the ranger 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

little pond ponys 8 #9 Posted September 23, 2017 Motor isn't original Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
little pond ponys 8 #10 Posted September 23, 2017 If the motor was original I would have started there also but the tractor has no ID tags and I know that the motor was changed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,852 #11 Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Looks like a 1960 WH Suburban based on the hood. Show us a picture of the transmission Edited September 23, 2017 by oliver2-44 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,276 #12 Posted September 23, 2017 Nobody can be sure how many things were added or swapped out on a 57 year old tractor. Fenders were standard on the 550 and optional on the 400. A 550 most likely would have some indication of a battery and solenoid having been there at one time. I'm sure there were many tool boxes from 550's with the holes that made there way to a 400. But is anybody certain the solenoids were always mounted on the tool box? Another indication is that the clutch rods on the 60's were not adjustable and the 61's had a threaded trunnion but that's missing and again an easily swapped part. With that being said I'd lean towards a 400. Or a 550 that had the solenoid mounted elsewhere or the tool box swapped. Or a 401 with a 1960 hood..........and a 60 clutch pedal installed backwards....................... In any case a very nice find, 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,653 #13 Posted September 23, 2017 Lots of good potential there. Be sure to post lots of when you begin repairs. Any questions that arise be sure to ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,274 #14 Posted September 23, 2017 Id say it's a 1960 suburban 400. With a swapped out motor from its journeys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,261 #19 Posted September 25, 2017 to the best forum on the web for tractors. Looks like you scored a nice solid base for a project. Love the little round hood models. I have a 1961 701 myself that is currently in pieces just waiting on me to get started on it again. Here it is after I got it but before tearing it down to the frame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #20 Posted September 25, 2017 @little pond ponys I don't believe anyone has mentioned... that right side pedal is from a snow/dozer blade. It connected to a chain that pulled a pin so you could index the blade left or right. The mower deck behind it on the trailer is not correct, that is for a later model than the 1960. If possible, you might inquire as to the snow blade though. The pedal is on the tractor, the rest may be laying in a corner somewhere. It would be a 42" wide blade with brackets to hang it from the front of the frame. Transmission work is no problem.. there are youtube videos from a member here who's gone through the whole process. @stevasaurus video channel here... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0WxpigBM-CFt3jm0aCxvxw Enjoy your new project! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
little pond ponys 8 #21 Posted September 27, 2017 It seems that I am missing a few parts for the tractor like the belt guard and the left side foot rest still thanking everyone for the infoaand there wasn't a snow plow casual would have been nice and as for the mower deck I don't even have interest in it I don't believe in restoring the decks just the tractors lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
