I just picked this up at an auction, I know its some type of suburban, but have no clue on the model. It has a small Tecumseh on it

Can't see the transmission, so not 100% sure.  But I think it is an RJ58.  Someone more knowledgeable will be along.  Nice find though.  It will make a very nice tractor!:text-bravo:

See what the casting date is on the transmission.  That may help to determine 58 or 59.  There may not be a casting date (early 58 RJs).  It would be on top by the shifter.   letter...number...8 or 9  :)    Like B21 9  It would still be a guess, unless the trans is for sure original and the last number is a 9.  An 8 would make the trans produced in 1958, but it may not have found a horse until 1959.  :occasion-xmas:

REAL nice score for that price!

The Tecumseh is not the original engine but at least the PO didn't go with a big one and cut the hood.

You guys...my example...B21  9...equates to B = February 21st...1959.  The letter is the month...then the day of the month and then the year.  :)  Right...I need a new keyboard.  Christmas is coming.  A new right eye with no dead spots would help also.  Been a tough year guys.

      4hp Kohler k91 issues!
      By Jennifer
      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!

      Wheel Horse Suburban Mail Box Post
      By oliver2-44
      So I went to get a haircut this morning in the neighboring town of Kingsland.  Saw a few garage sale sign so I though I'd check them out.   The Garage Sales were a bust, but as I drove through the area, I spotted this 1960 Wheel Horse Suburban being used as a mail box post.    It was chained and locked to the T post and the front rims were sunk well into the dirt like it had been there quite a while.  I momentarily though about knockings on the door,  but the hood was cut, there was no motor and the transmission shifter rubber boot was long gone.  I say it's a 1960 as it had the treadplate foot rest.  It's probable best left for the yard art it's currently being used for.
