I found these numbers on top of it, does this help?
-
If the above transmission came out of that horse and if that engine is a 4 hp Kohler, then for sure, you have a 400 '1960 and Squonk is correct. Check the numbers on your engine. The 1960 suburban had a spec # 31388A for it's 4 hp Kohler. The 1961 401 had a spec # 41437A.

Got the front end up a little. I'll get it higher when I go back out there. Really hot out there in the container. Thanks, Dave

By the controls on the hood it's a 60 400

Thanks for the info, but now I’m confused. From what I’ve learned from this group and what I’ve read, I think this is a ‘61 401, but I’m still learning! My family got into the Wheel Horse business around 1980, so I have next to zero experience with the Suburban era and that’s why I so appreciate ALL your help!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VAN !! Hope you have a great day !!

Here is a thread that will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about your 3 piece transmission.
-
That 3 piece transmission is either a #5003 or a #5010. It apears to be a #5010 looking at how the brake band mounts. Either way, that transmission is wrong for a 701. You should have a 2 piece #5007 trans. If the trans pictured is the one you are using, there is no drain plug on the bottom. Just take out one of the lower side bolts to drain that trans...you may have to poke something in the hole to open it up once you take out a side bolt. To fill...use the hole the shifter goes in. (2 qts 90 wt) Have you posted any pictures of this horse??

Thank you @953 nut!! I really appreciate the guidance!

2026 Deer and Fish Tales
SylvanLakeWH replied to Ed Kennell's topic in non tractor related discussion
Not so funny thing... I could have taken two more doe on the walk to my car... 1/8 of a mile... but no tags (7 doe allowed this season)... it's ridiculous how many doe there are in SE Michigan and the DNR can't get hunters to shoot them... Hunter's "buck only" mentality has the herd way screwed up... - Today

You had me at "boom"... I thought this was going to be another story about the connecting rod getting a sudden urge to vacate the premises....

I too watched regularly, As I recall his sidekick RED was a hoot, guess someone has to play the dim-wit so the star will look brilliant.

Those big wire brushes kill a lot of angle grinders. -
Edy had a cabinet in the garage that she wanted gone. I didn’t need to use the Roper to move it but I wanted to.😁😁😁 I transported it to the workshop and installed it in a corner of my office.

How do I get higher RPMs governor Wheel Horse 414–8 Magnum Kohler 14
953 nut replied to bradleydavidgood's topic in Engines
I kind of misunderstood your question until watching your first video. Just going off the title I responded without viewing the video. You would be amazed at how many questions about governors fall into the category of wanting the engine speed to go to 5000 or 6000 RPMs so they can go fast so I posted my standard governor adjustment post. -
Thanks, Richard.

Look closely at the pictures and you'll see a power port I installed on the steering tower. I installed that a couple years ago mainly for a tank sprayer. -
That note would pertain to the then-new Unidrive on the 701. Yours is the older 3 piece style. Maybe re-read that part or see if there is an online YT video on the 401 transmission??

Similar happened to me last fall with my 25ish year old Craftsman corded reciprocating saw. I was working it hard trimming branches early last Fall when it had a "Thermal Event". Just stay up wind from that Electro-toast smell! I already own a couple of Dewalt 20 Volt items, so I caught a Black Friday sale & purchased the cordless model. Works great, but sucks thru batteries! About 4 in an hour..... My son has the cordless angle grinder - says it works great. -
There is a hump in the base of the transmission that prevents all the fluid from draining. Raise the front of the tractor as high as you can to get it all out.

How do I get higher RPMs governor Wheel Horse 414–8 Magnum Kohler 14
bradleydavidgood replied to bradleydavidgood's topic in Engines
So then I went back to the governor shaft and readjusted that and that allowed the engine to run at higher RPMs. What do you think of this level of RPMs? Tomorrow I get a tachometer so I'll be able to better set the high to 3600. -

bradleydavidgood replied to bradleydavidgood's topic in Engines
Thank you guys! Two videos of what I did this morning. First, moved the linkage per JoeM. Thank you JoeM! But after moving it, the governor still pushed it back to the idle stop when the throttle lever at the dash was fast. -
