getting a 1969 Sears Suburban 12 running again

[@jessebrown9046]

Awesome old tractors, I swear one of those old tractors has more steel the 18 of the newer ones combined

[@lonhoschar1943]

I'm always excited when one of these old tractors fires up after years of sitting and not being used. It's like it's been brought back to life!!

That's what I need to do is get some of my riding mowers repaired. I only have about 11 left. I used to buy and repair for resale. My oldest is a 1981 Montgomery Wards 30" cut had a 8 HP B&S after that motor blew up I took the 12 HP out of my 87 Craftsman and put it in. Put a 18 HP in the craftsman. I like repairing these mowers. Some are really simple to work on and get running. Need to check out V Belt supply for belts they are cheaper but the S&H can be high.

Great information, I just picked up the twin to that, he bought it new took it home and parked it in the garage and it never moved until I got it at the estate sale. I have 3 other old Sears tractors but this one stands out. Thanks again, I'm subbed.

[@IMPRIOR87]

Nice find. Thanks for the sub

[@larrykrise3609]

awsome job.a freind of mine has one of these.he is starting to work on it.

[@atractorkid7]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your work on that spark conversion over to the newer style. That's good to know, I may do that myself if I run into issues with my super 12 special. I have a spare oh-160 under the bench and I had no idea those parts are able to go on the older style hh100-120

[@WorknDirt]

nice work man! try to share part numbers of the parts/links you use or buy to help everyone get these machines running 👍 .. i had to do the same mod for the carb too.. keep up the good work!

How u fix tie rod

[@AndrewBrenner1]

I have a 74 with a LMH-1A Walbro and I can't find anything to replace the carberator. Do you know if there is China carbie that would work?

My most recent purchase was a 69 Suburban 12. The transmission case leaks pretty bad. But it runs and doesn't smoke like my 68 does. Any words of advice on the transmission leak?

[@mitchelkane2641]

Love this particular model

[@lumpusman]

love the video, thank you for the info. i just picked up this same tractor, gave er a whirl today and seems like it's not spinning fast enough. i've done some googling and they say i should open the starter and clean it up, do you have any experience with this?

[@IMPRIOR87]

Thanks. Those engines have an internal compression release, they can get stuck sometimes from sitting a long time. Once you get it going itll start better, However its not a bad idea to open up the starter and clean it. As long as you can get it back together, there a little tricky sometimes.

[@DavidSmith-fr1uz]

Those old Craftsman Suburban's were built like tanks. I am wondering if the blue one is an SS15 with a Briggs and Stratton?

[@IMPRIOR87]

That one is a suburban 15

[@liamvoelker9906]

My grandpa has an ss14 or an ss15

[@tsinglesingleton3384]

Are you selling 16 onan and how much

[@IMPRIOR87]

I don't have any onan I'd sell. Sorry

[@MrCountrycuz]

What do you have to sell to an old man?

[@IMPRIOR87]

Sorry, it's not for sale
