suburban on steriods?

[rusted and busted 0]

hello ,found a new horse to add to the herd.not sure what year it is,nice solid machine,appears some one pulled with it as the motor is a 7 horse briggs,shoe horned into the frame work.it rolls backs wards fine but forward seems to be locked up....any ideas???

Just by the cast foot rests and clutch pedal, hood with large circular hole and push/pull control holes and hoodstand, its a 401,

That's a 1961 401 looks like to me. It has part of the snow blade mount on the front of the frame. It also has the ultra rare early 1961 style footrest's. You don't find this kind very often. Compare them to most 1961 style footrest's and you'll notice a couple things that are different. Hard to find parts right there! Good haul today! Good luck with the rebuild if you decide to restore it.

Like others have said, great find!!

I haven't been fortunate enough to own one of these so I don't know what to tell you on the trans. :omg:

Wonder if the shifter broke off inside the tranny in reverse?? Might try pulling the shifter out and aligning the slots in the neutral position with a big ole screwdriver. Then again it might be a little worse.

Those 3 piece tyranny's are not to bad to work on.

A K91 would be original to a 60-61 Surbuban 400 or 401. If the Kolher ID Tag is still affixed to the blower cover, post up the SPEC#.

Good score. :D

Nice find rusted and busted

Atleast they raised the hood up instead of cutting to make the motor fit Which seems like everyone who knows no better does...
