Found my first roundhood need id help

[kloe0699 12]

I stumbled upon this today. I don't know anything about roundhoods. I can't find an id tag and the original motor is long gone. The fenders and seat weren't on it so I set them there to get a pic. Any ideas fellas?

the hood is a 1960 400 suburban

That is a 400 or a 550. The front wheels and motor are incorrect for the tractor though.Jake

Is that good or bad? :confusion-shrug:

Well a motor is not that big of a deal to find for them. Just took a look at your wheels again and they almost look like the correct wheels with bigger tires on them but I am not sure. Looks like it is a pretty decent tractor though. Jake

That's a rare find!

An uncut hood and throttle controls included

Thanks for the info guys. I have to make an offer. It's going to be cheap, kinda a get it outta here deal. I'd love to make this my first restore after looking around at a few here that have been done. I haven't seen many roundhoods in person, I can't believe how small they are.. Cute little buggers!

Yeah, you'd better bring that home before someone from the "CT Connection" beats you to it. :teasing-poke:

I hid my truck in the brush... Put my ghilli suit on and didn't waste any time snappin the pic. They are always out there watching! :ROTF:
