stevebo-(Moderator) 8,527 #2 Posted February 19, 2015 1960 Suburban 400 or 550. Wrong motor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Horse 22 #3 Posted February 19, 2015 I was close. What is difference in those two models? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,919 #4 Posted February 19, 2015 I agree it's a 1960 based on the throttle/choke controls. The decals are 1961 but it's pretty clear they are replacements. Nice tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,919 #5 Posted February 19, 2015 We were typing at the same time. The easiest way to tell is the throttle/choke controls. Take a look at the gallery on here and you will see it real quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Horse 22 #7 Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks. I pulled the cord and turns over. The metal looks salvageable. Not sure what to offer him. $100$ ..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,919 #9 Posted February 19, 2015 I think anybody here would jump all over it for $100. If it's just scrap metal to the current owner he might take that offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kegler 68 #10 Posted February 19, 2015 If you get ir for that and want to double your money, I'm only about 30 mi away, LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theroundhousernr 590 #11 Posted February 19, 2015 Looks like the belt guard is there too. One of the more valuable pieces that fetches a good buck in good condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,744 #12 Posted February 19, 2015 I would say that is a great price for that machine....even with the B & S engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse Collector 47 #13 Posted February 19, 2015 I think offering him $100 is fair. Seeing how it has a briggs and Stratton on it I wouldn't pay more than $150 for it. I say $100 is a good offer for it. That's just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,075 #14 Posted February 19, 2015 I wouldn't pay more than $150 for it. I say $100 is a good offer for it. That's just my opinion. Interesting, The only way to get that for $100 is if the seller has no internet access and no clue of what he has. Start at $100 but be prepared to go up from there, it's worth more than $150 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,075 #15 Posted February 19, 2015 I was close. What is difference in those two models? 400 came with a pull start 4hp kohler and the 550 came with a Lauson 5.5hp electric start engine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,196 #16 Posted February 19, 2015 $150? Imagine the value in that tractor piece by piece. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,075 #17 Posted February 19, 2015 Before I knew what they looked like, I paid $90 for an original set of throttle/choke levers for a 400. After receiving them I wanted to kick MYSELF in the nuts because they are fairly simple to repop. But, there are a bunch of people who prefer original parts and those controls don't come up for sale very often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Horse 22 #18 Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks for all the replies. In new to the wheel horse stuff. I just know what I like. I made him offer for $100 and he was happy to see it go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,075 #19 Posted February 20, 2015 NICE SCORE! Just find a Kohler K91 and a suburban gas tank and you have a really nice 400 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
