bell 11 #1 Posted July 18, 2009 Since I sold most of my Suburban stuff, I jumped at the chance to get this 401... It's in pretty decent shape, but has engine problems.... I just so happen to still have a good K91 sitting on the shelf... :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #7 Posted July 19, 2009 @ Kelly: The 401 still used the three piece tranz while the 551 & 701 both received the "new" two-piece case Uni-Drive in 1961. Good catch - as usual, Jon! :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bell 11 #10 Posted July 19, 2009 Thanks fellas! My secret... I've got a LOT of contacts... That's how I find them. Usually, they come to me. I enjoy the hunt, just as much as I enjoy the tractors... I love searching for them... I've found a lot of them by just getting out and driving around. It's amazing what people will just shove behind the garage and leave for dead.

jusjeepn 59 #11 Posted July 20, 2009 I know what you mean Jon! I'm in peoples back yards all the time and am amazed at how many "dead" tractors and lawn mowers there are! I must know of at least 25 W/H tractors that are just sitting. Most are parts tractors but there are several that could be brought back and made nice! There are 45 lineman in my area and they all know I collect and call me on a regular basis on what they find! I think they enjoy the hunt almost as much as I do! This brings to mind a saying from a wise but not-so-old friend "You can't save them all" Good find! :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
