stevasaurus 22,683 #7 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Are you talking the transmission or the suburban 551?? That transmission is the Wheel Horse #5007. It was also used on the 1961...701 tractor...the first front engine horse. In 1962 they went to the 2 piece #5025 transmission. The only difference I found between the #5007 and the #5025 is the drain and fill plugs. The plugs are the same size in the #5007...the fill plug (if I remember) is one size larger in the #5025. The transmissions are EXACTLY the same other then that...and would be interchangeable with no modifications. As far as the 551 being rare...I am not sure. Finding one with the correct Tecumseh 55D-2113 engine on it may be a neat trick. the #5007 the #5025 Edited March 6, 2014 by stevasaurus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
