Pullstart 62,786 #2 Posted April 27, 2020 i’m gonna take a crack at this. 401 Suburban is my guess. Cast front axle makes it a Suburban and the 2 piece trans makes it ‘61. I THINK. those lights were definitely custom, never an option like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 16,984 #5 Posted April 27, 2020 It's a 1961 model 551 That hood stand and the 2 piece trans are unique to that particular suburban model which IDs it. Someone did a good job adding those lights to the hood, looks cool but not factory 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #6 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) I like the Silhouette of this Hood with this integrated lights, it looks really Sharp and fit‘s in the Area where it was build. Who ever made that Hood, created a piece of Art in my opinion. What a nice find ! with the right lights in, that looks saweeet. oh, btw..... to.

Achto 27,502 #11 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) That is a cool looking tractor. Those molded in head lights are very cool & well done. That tractor has been calling me for a while, I just can't seem to talk myself into picking up the phone. If it hangs around too much longer I just might have to jump in the truck, head down to Wisconsin's Covid hot spot and give that lil sweetheart a good home.
