seven 202 #1 Posted March 21, 2016 Picked up at suburban finally!! (350)found one nearby it's all taken apart cause the guy was going too restore but he decided to sell it instead. Says everything is there I was wondering if someone could help me find a parts diagram for it , even the tranny is all apart .cause he said it needed new seals. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ol550 830 #2 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) It's like most puzzles but you need to start from the middle and work your way out. Check the manuals section for your diagram. Edited March 21, 2016 by ol550 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,156 #3 Posted March 21, 2016 I traded for a RJ awhile back that came in pieces good luck they are pretty simple machines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,942 #4 Posted March 21, 2016 This will help you out. You don't need to open the transmission to replace the seals but it sure doesn't hurt to inspect everything. Don't forget pictures when you get started. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seven 202 #10 Posted March 21, 2016 Ya I will say a few hail Mary's and go for it yes it's got a snow blade hopefully all the pieces are there .starting with transmission first. The engine turns over and has compression. Probably do valve job and new piston an rings also then if all is there paint or possibly powder coat 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seven 202 #12 Posted March 24, 2016 Does someone know how to check the oil in the transmission. I didn't see a drain plug either? I replaced seals and two bearings other than that it all looked pretty good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,942 #13 Posted March 24, 2016 You have to drain the tranny oil by removing one of the lower side plate bolts. Use 1 1/2 quarts or fill until it comes out the plug on the right side. Either way is fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,154 #14 Posted March 24, 2016 There should be a plug on the right side, looking from back of the trans. Full when oil flows out Easiest to drain by removing one of the bolts holding the side plate to the cast center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kthack657 328 #21 Posted March 28, 2016 If you need any specific pics let me know I have a 401 that is together and pretty oiginal...just know that right now it is green (was a golf course tractor) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 10,738 #22 Posted March 28, 2016 @kthack657 could you post some measurements of the suburban 401 drive belt idler spring. From the forum i've gleamed it's 4-1/2 long overall and 5/8 dia,..does that match yours ? also what is the spring coil length and the spring wire diameter.

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,493 #23 Posted March 28, 2016 From my notes and don't recall which one the measurements came from 83-2730 Replaces 1014 1014P 1486 Possibly replaced by 108035 but 83-2730 and 108035 both still available from Toro. Makes me think there is a difference somewhere. 4.500" between hooks .070" wire .520" coil OD .380" coil ID 3.570" coil length 52 + two 1/2 coils Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #25 Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Pm me and I'll give you my number if you need help. I just did a full frame off, every nut and bolt is new on my suburban.
