gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,528 #3 Posted July 2, 2019 The engine is not original to the tractor so we can't go by that. Comparing serial numbers a couple of possibilities. The model 953 has 15" rear wheels The model 854 has 12" rear wheels Click on the pictures Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What you have is a 1960 Suburban 400 that has had an engine transplant. The original motor would have been a Kohler K91. It does not look like the PO hacked up the hood to do the transplant, that's a bonus. Looks like it has some functional home made wheel weights. A great base for a resto or get it going the way it is & just enjoy it. Here is a link for a manual. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/684-tractor-1960-400-550-suburban-da-om-ipl-snpdf/ Edited July 2, 2019 by Achto 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,528 #6 Posted July 2, 2019 Sorry about misleading on the possible models. I did not know the shift pattern was on the metal plates. Possible mower decks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZXT 2,401 #7 Posted July 2, 2019 Nice looking old tractor! Have you had it running? If it's been sitting it'll likely need the carb cleaned, and then It'll probably run fine. What are your plans for it? Use it as a worker or restore it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 51,916 #8 Posted July 3, 2019 Nice looking 400 survivor there. Have fun with her! The deck under it with the wheels is a '61 The other deck if it doesn't have wheels might be a '60. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong but I feel the deck isn’t the 61 but I fact the 60 that has been hacked on and a wheel add! Just my two cents!!🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CannerCounrty 4 #14 Posted July 4, 2019 It was a barn find that i recused from going to scrap. Did not even know the show was going on at south mt fairgrounds. Im new to all this. Not sure if i want to sell the way it is or to restore it for my girls to show. No clue where to start. If i had some guidance close enough to show me or guide me. I would restore.
