Hello all,

Picked up a running 1969 Sears Suburban SS12 last fall with a plow, chains, wheel weights, and 2 spare parts engines for $75. Was gonna just make it a dedicated snow plow tractor, but decided to do a frame up restoration on it, and I like poking around forums to gain information and ask stupid questions.

Thanks,
bobcat2

Great find! Does it have the Tecumseh HH120 engine? I have an ST12 with a MTD snow blower on it. I have another complete ST12 in the barn i want to restore and a partial Suburban for parts.

Yes, the one on it runs, and I have a spare that needs work, and a locked up one for parts. My missing link at the moment is a drive pulley for the transaxle.

Those HH120 parts are like gold. Especially carb, con rod and coil.
