Picked up some Suburbans

Recommended Posts

Found these two on a fence row rotting away. Both are in very rough shape both came with mower decks and snow plows. both transmissions are free but the gear shift is froze on both. Some usable parts but not much. One has a 4 hp kohler, surprised to find it not froze up but has some good compression.

After finding those two Suburbans two days later I picked two more. One a 550 with electric start. cleaned the flywheel up and has spark now. Put some gas in it and purring like a kitten. The other with the 4hp Kohler has no compression and no spark. I put a Harbor freight motor on it till i get a 4hp Kohler running.

The 550 I will be repainting it. Looking it over it has some play in the drive pulley on the transmission. Not sure if its the pulley itself or the shaft. So I brought up one of the better parts tractors to tare down for transmission parts.

With the transmission out, into the Steiner and bucket it gets hauled back into the shed.
