Ultimate basket case Suburban 400 project
AlexR replied to meadowfield's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Are you planning on getting this tractor fully done for that? If so -
Very cool info with this. I’m still learning so I’m not 100 percent sure what Julian build dates mean. I’m thinking that it means both mine and @ineedanother have C160’s that were actually built in late 1975 for the 1976 model year correct?
-
@ineedanother please keep posting, all great info no derailment at all.

Can,anyone help me in finding a replacement ignition switch for my 1969 Raider 12? Supposed to be an 8362, but I can't find anything close to it. I'm not looking to restore it, I just need the tractor for mowing and moving trailers and such. I dont need the accessorie part of the switch, if that will help me find a switch that will work. Please help. I am desperate.

Actually they haven't been too bad. The family that owned the house before it became a rental was worse. Dozens of teenage boys hanging around reeking of cigarette smoke and body spray. All of that drifted into my garage. One of their kids was a thief. Broke into cars and the other neighbor's house. Actually that was comical because the lady was in the hospital and he was looking for drugs. He found her Life alert and pushed the button. The cops came with the ambulance! Their other kid was in the process of setting fire to the house one day as I was just getting home from work! That was a hoot too! He was trying to put the fire out by peeing on it!

Free/throw away stuff

Living next door to college students sound horrible!! - Today

For rebuilding a carburetor I only use original Kohler parts. I've been buying from billsplaceshop.com for a lot of my OE parts. Good luck so far. Prices are phenomenal. As far as parts go, we have several absolutely top shelf sources. There's nothing you can't get for these old tractors.

I rebuilt the pump about 15 years ago, so I'm sure it could use it again. If I can't use the electric pump on the Briggs, I'll put it on the 520H.

Who in their right mind throws copper wire away??? Nice to see the stuff go to a good home! We stick stuff at the curb and it is usually gone that night. We have several flea marketeers in the hood and they like the free stuff. I just wish I could put the old WH stuff out there but the scrappers will be the ones picking it up. If I had more room on the trailer and truck I would bring it to the show, well, really not that ambitious. Boy if I do..... Ed better hold on to his buckets! lol

That's great info. I'll definitely get that changed soon.

Sounds good, we are less than 6 miles from each other. Have you been out to the Tired Iron of the Ozarks club shows? I'm a member of that club and we just had our spring show in April, our fall show is in September. You should bring your tractors out to show them off.

And dislocated shoulders. Pappy told me to always pull up on the crank...never push down. -

squonk replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I got my Dad a 39 B with the hand crank. I replaced the center section with an electric start style and put a 6 V starter with a 12V battery with no charging system. Added a start button and solenoid. You just had to look at that button and it fired up. Charged the battery in the spring and it would last all year. Had a blast mowing with it. -

I have used the chain thru a pipe tow bar trick many times for pulling and pushing non running vehicles. -
2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread
Blaine replied to Pullstart's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
Lol. I ramble on sometimes, but yeah, you nailed it, so guess i did good. I don’t know which model the deck is, but it’s obviously not exactly Suburban friendly. I swapped over the angle iron from the original deck that i have, which worked to attach it. It’s too tall but it works, i just can’t raise or lower it. Now that i think about it, that original deck may not have been the correct deck for it either, but it fit well. The “original” deck i have has 4 wheels on it, not the “floating” wheel-less version. I’ve had this 401 for about 30 years so my memory is a bit fuzzy. It’s been abused and neglected, rigged together with duct tape coathanger wire and bungee straps and a welder, and has lived outdoors (can’t stand the grass and gas smell in my garage) but has faithfully kept my acre of grass beautifully manicured for decades. Just had to swap on the 3rd engine this spring. I miss the 867 that i had before it. Still kicking myself for letting it go. Ed’s bucket-o-shafts. -
Clutch bolt worked there way out.

When I plowed snow with my 1267 it emptied that tank in about an hour.

House next door is a rental. There is an endless parade of stuff put by the curb. Smokers, grills, fridges, fishing poles, kayaks. Now there's a dumpster in the drive way. The last time ( about 6 month's ago) someone moved out, they filled a dumpster in about an hour. These are mostly college kids that destroy everything in their path.

Niiiiice!!

2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread
Ed Kennell replied to Pullstart's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
I'm not sure if they will fit, but there will be plenty of experts at the show that will know. Take some close up pics and some measurements to compare. I'll be there Thur-Sat. I may be coming to Dover before the show. My son lives near Pinchot Park. If I come your way, I'll get your address and bring them along. -
Welcome! I saw a band one time named Little Flock… I wondered where that name came from

I will try and get a photo up. Long way to go for it to look like C-Series Don's tractors. . Does anyone have a good place to get parts for the M18 Magnum engine? I.e. parts for fuel pump or carburetor if I need to rebuild them?
