Snoopy11 5,714 #6 Posted October 12, 2022 Not seeing any fenders as would be common with suburbans. As well, RJ would have straight front axle. Suburban commonly has bowed front axle as what you have there Joe. What makes you think RJ is probably the lack of fenders... Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe Fenders we’re an option on Suburbans, so the lack of them doesn’t mean their missing. Here’s some other observations regarding what may be original or swapped parts. But after 60 years who knows what the factory really used that day. In the first picture those are original Goodyear Silverton Ag tires. Very desirable from a collector standpoint. Treat them gently and tube if needed 2nd picture, your rectangular hood stand has larger holes in the top of it. There is some indication the Suburban 400 model with pull start Kohler K91 had a solid panel and the 401 with Electric Start Tecumseh had the larger holes for wires to pass through. Over the years original 400,s have shown up with the holes, so once again the factory probable used what was on hand that day. Your seat pan has 11 holes in the inner circle and may be a replacement. Most Suburbans had seats with 5 holes in the inner circle. The earliest Suburbans had solid pans as it is believed the factory was using up left over RJ seats. 3rd picture. Your frame has 1 tread plate foot rest which is correct fo the 1960 Suburban 400 and 401. The top of your transmission should have a date code cast into it which could help you date the tractor if the transmission is original to it. Post a picture of them please. Most importantly, build it and make it yours! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 25 and 35 had a veri-drive transmission where the input shaft sped up or down or even spun backwards, and the transmission was just a fixed gear reduction system.

At least they didn't cut the whole back off like many. I bet a good welder could repair, add a little body filler and it be back to original looking 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,010 #22 Posted October 13, 2022 Everything I see says 1960. A 400 or a 550 model 400 and 550 models were the same tractor except the 550 would have the electric start components with a 5.5 hp Tecumseh engine. 400 used a pull start K91 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
