horsecrazy 0 #1 Posted May 21, 2009 I know nothing about vintage lawn tractors but Im learning. I bought this little guy a couple weeks ago and Im afraid I bit off more thank I can chew. I need any advise for restoring this 1960 Suburban. I need some parts as well. I just bought a hood for it. I know the engine is not stock. So if you happen to have any parts for this please let me know. THanks Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsecrazy 0 #10 Posted May 22, 2009 I could use foot rest, drive belt cover, one front wheel, two front tires, and Im not sure what is wrong with the steering but the steering gear is just hanging there. I wouldnt mind a different engine as well. For now I am willing to put anything in there just for running around. So if anyone has any of my list, please get back to me... mnandbeyond@yahoo.com Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
