953 nut 51,541 #2 Posted April 6, 2018 I am presuming you are looking at these to flip for a profit so the prices I'm mentioning are reflecting that.A pair of descant looking 1960 Suburban 400s, one of which has an interesting looking hydraulic lift.Looks like they both have replacement engines but that isn't too big a deal. They would be a great buy at (non running as is) at $ 250 each. Another $75 each for the deck and snow plow Also, an early Lawson with a shower head muffler and updraft air cleaner would be worth as much as either tractor to the right buyer. Happy hunting.

I don't see a cylinder or hoses. I think it has an electric start and then maybe a generator on the rear? Very interesting! Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two 1960 suburban in better than average condition, probably $800.00 + in parts, if parted out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #5 Posted April 6, 2018 I would have to say... if, that is the original engine(Clinton)... from the factory, in a '60 Suburban... ...that is a pretty rare tractor, as most I've seen typically have the 4hp Kohlers installed from the factory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,707 #6 Posted April 6, 2018 4 hours ago, 953 nut said: both have replacement engines I would have to agree with Craig Richard. The Clinton and solid seat pans might suggest both are early '60s vintage. Said to have been using up RJ Clintons in early 400's which I believe to be true as I have a known original early 400 with a Clinton and solid seat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikeeyre74 289 #9 Posted April 7, 2018 Yeah, I think I also see a generator under the seat there too... Thought it was a hydro pump at first but you can just barely see cooling fins in another picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuboxlover 474 #10 Posted April 8, 2018 Well, it didn't go as I hoped today. Here are what things sold for. Suburban with Clinton...$450 Suburban with Briggs transplant....$300 Lauson...$27.50 I bought the lauson, but neither of the suburbans. I talked to the guy that bought the one with the Clinton...i felt better after I did. He was the best friend of the guy who's estate was being sold after he died. He had known him for over 60 years. I explained to him what I learned from you guys on here and he was very thankful. Thanks for all the help and hopefully next time I'll come out on top.

WHX?? 46,707 #11 Posted April 8, 2018 Sorry to hear you didn't get either tractor but I would have paid that all day for the Lauson. Nice little coversation piece at tractor shows. Hopefully you told the other buyers about our community here if they need help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,945 #12 Posted April 8, 2018 Fair price for the Clinton Suburban tractor too... seems easily put back to original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
