1961 Suburban 551 Rescue

I thought that I would start a thread of this little tractor.

Got a trailer hitch so I can pull it out of the container. Got some C-clips to secure the front wheels.

Searching for a shift lever and now I'm working on the steering wheel.

As it gets cooler, I'll get more done on this project. Gonna be a long term project.

Thinking I'll flush the trans with diesel fuel and put Penetrol on the tractor for the patina.

Looking at engine options. Liking the idea of a diesel or Predator just to get it going.

More progress to come. Thanks for all the information and advice. The PC-7 will need more coats.
