mikepitt 0 #1 Posted March 9, 2008 I live in the UK and would be grateful if anyone out there could put me in touch with someone who could supply spares or ideally a parts/workshop manual. My tractor looks very much like the one shown in the photo album of MarkEdMitch (1955 RE35), although mine is fitted with rear mudguards (fenders). All I know is the tractor is an early/mid 60's model, I remember the decals on the side of the bonnet (hood) read Suburban Wheelhorse and I think it was originally fitted with a Kohler 4hp engine, I replaced this with a Techemseh 5hp. I have owned the tractor for about 30 years, but sadly it is now very derelict as I have left it stored in the open with a tarpulin cover that has long since disintegrated. I am now very keen to restore the tractor to it's original state but there are several parts required ie; even the seat and wheels are rusted through so I'm sure that several parts will need replacing. The mower deck has survived quite well but the drive shafts to the blades are seized etc. Out of interest I also have a front mounted blade and a single furrow plough (plow). I can email some photos on to anyone that might be interested. Regards - Mike Pitt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,114 #2 Posted March 9, 2008 Mike I can't help with your parts, but there are several members here from the UK who may be able to point you in a local direction. Again welcome, and if you get a chance please post the pictures of your tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #3 Posted March 9, 2008 Mike, Glad to see you took my "advice" to join in! Sounds like you might have a 1960 400 or a 1961 401 Suburban model, and with photos, we could positively identify your tractor. Look around the tractor photo album at this site and see if either of those two models look familliar to you. Once it's identified, we'll get you in touch with the correct manual. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mith 2 #4 Posted March 9, 2008 Hi Mike, where abouts in the UK are you? We've got members from all over, I'm in Hampshire. I have no idea where you'd get spares for a tractor that old in this country, you've got a pretty rare beast for over here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
