Just joining finally time to work on the $40 Suburban 551

Years ago, I saved an old Wheel Horse from a scrap pile for $40. Finally looking at getting it together now.

I'm finishing up on my old Ariens Garden Tractor steering and then I'll get on the old Wheel Horse.

It's in the shipping container and when it gets a little cooler, I'll pull it out for some better pictures. Looking forward to getting some information on this. Others have suggested it is a 1961 Suburban 551 from the pictures.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

No engine.

Thinking I'll just get it running with a Predator 212cc engine and enjoy it.

Planning to do a trans flush and see what it looks like in there.

Someone has cut off the rod for the clutch pedal. It's there just cut. Got to figure how to align it and weld it back.

Hunting up all the pieces in the shipping container.

Looking forward to getting some great information on this cool little tractor.

WHX??

:WRS:

Manuals should be in the files section. It should have had a electric start Tecumseh HH50 in it but a k91 is acceptable. Or a Briggs or predator.
