Ricky Bobby 27 #5 Posted Thursday at 11:09 PM Believe it or not some of the gears are salvageable but the entire cluster gear is missing more teeth than an old school goalie! I will need some help with finding some gears, seals and bearings. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may have a cluster gear or two kicking around too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 50,901 #14 Posted Friday at 01:21 AM Lowell has the bearings & seals & I bet @Jake Kuhn has the gears. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product-category/manual-transmissions/ Nice score ... orginal survivor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 10,427 #15 Posted Friday at 02:52 AM Nice original Suburban. It even has the original belt guard and exhaust shield. Your transmission casting date A30-0 translates to January 30, 1960. The solid seat pan also dates it to possibly be an earlier one. Looks like you missing the foot rest and front rims. Those rims can be hard to find due to the center tube being longer than many later ones. They were only used in 60/61. The tires were filled with calcium chloride for weight which rusted the rims out. On the dash between the throttle and choke levers that plate has a serial number stamped in it. With the rust the stamping can be very light. Polish it with scotch bite or fine steel wool and see if you can make any numbers out on it. I’am 4 hours down the road in Marble Falls, Tx. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
