I need some help Identifying this tractor

Recommended Posts

Jerry Wenger

Hi guys, Can anybody help me identify this tractor? Also any input on this engine would be greatly appreciated. I bought it a few weeks ago and have been looking around but didn't find much info on it. I took the carburator off to clean it but never put it back on. I had it running before but it sounded like it was running rich and it was throwing a lot off soot out of the exhaust. It also had a fuel pump on it that I thought was pushing too much fuel into  the carb. so I took it off and  ran the engine and it ran like tops so I installed it into the tractor then tried to start it but the the engine  wouldn't run at all. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Looks like a 1961 Model 551 Suburban  The engine appears to be a Lauson H55D

Not a 551. Frame work for battery is not there.

I'm thinking 401 with non original Tecky

Good eye Mike. Could be 401, I couldn't see the transmission well enough but it may be a three piece.

I think I can barely see the angled side plate.

It's a 3 piece trans, you can see the rear end in the 5th pick.  :orcs-cheers:

The hood stand, 3 pc trans, hood with those throttle/choke controls, cast foot pedal. 1961 model 401

That engine may have come with it but it's not original to that particular tractor.

 My guess would be a 401 as well, with a replacement motor.
