Lever throttle/choke, and a plug in the hole for the ignition switch.... those are your two clues.   Side plate visible on trans appear to be missing the holes for he AH-60 hitch though?  That's weird.  Might have been replaced with an RJ trans in it?

that is a 60 400 or 550...probably a 400 because there is no toolbox

 

Edit....Jason beat me to it as I was typing. lol

Give us a picture of the brake shaft side of the trans...if the transmission is original...the piece of steel that the brake band mounts on will be at a 45 degree angle instead of vertical.  Got a great find there...let us know what you intend to do with it. :)

Is this the hitch part that you are talking about?

Nope... the auxiliary hitch. AH-60. Looks like this.

It mounts in two holes at the top of the side plates.

That's the RJ 58/59 transmission.

 

The reason for the aux hitch that Jason is showing is because the 400 tractors used the normal hitch to lift the mower deck and then the aux hitch was used to pull a trailer or something. Only needed if you have the deck. He saw there was no holes for it which is one of the identifiers for that model tractor. Good eye Jason!

 

The correct trans would have the brake band mounting stub in a different location and mounted at a 45 deg angle. The RJ trans can be used but modification to way it works will be needed. The RJ pedal is designed to pull the connecting rod and the 400 pedal is designed to push it.

 

I can get you some pics of each one if you need them.

      The RJ58 was the big hit for spectators this year at my local festivals here in Carroll County OH. 
      the children loved getting their pictures sitting on it, then they discovered the bicycle horn under the steering wheel. It’s always a joy even in parades. Just love showing off part of my collection every year and hearing all the stories from those that had WH in their lives at one time. Can hardly wait to get to retirement so I can get some of my other models back to their glory in working order and be able to attend other shows/festivals throughout the year. My fellow tractor enthusiasts always know when a spectacular starts asking about WH, they point in my direction. I study up on the history of the different models and always intrigue those that didn’t know much about how WH came to be. This website is one place that has helped me learn so much about the WH history and I thank you for sharing your knowledge that I am able to pass on to keep WH alive and well.

      Husband wants some advice… lol.  So we did an engine swap today on two suburbans because we could not get the one engine to spark all the time to get it running!  The engine ran last year before parking for the winter sleep…. Points were changed out for new the engine was cleaned to make good contact has new spark plug new coil condenser we even switched out the fly wheel today thinking maybe the magnet was weak…. Advice???   It would where are you out yanking on the recoil five or so times and maybe only get the points to fire twice if you’re lucky..  checked the gap and pull again… same thing over and over!  Thanks in advance!
