One of our recent projects that we wanted to share has been fixing up our Sears Suburban SS16 a little bit. It is by no means a show tractor but we enjoy it and look forward to using it for several yard work projects around the house.

As an engineer for Roper I have spent many hours on the Suburban. As I remember the SS16 was a single cylinder Tecumseh and the ST16 was the Onan BF-16. Any questions let me know. Sincerely Richard Goodman

Holy cow we've got a celebrity in the house. I have to say the Suburban is just about as perfect of a design as an operator could hope for, so well done to you guys that created it. About 15 years ago it was a '67 Suburban 12 from craigslist that got me hooked on garden tractors. I restored it and used it quite a bit until the IGN coil went sneakers up. Within the last few days I tinkered around and now it's running like a champ again with the original Tecumseh 12. The things turn tight, the steering is light, the low gear plows like a mule and the top gear gets on down the road and they're simple to work on. All that and a cigar lighter. Like I said, just about a perfect design. 😎

Not sure what the front hub caps were off of but the back ones are, I believe are off an old Studebaker.

How the hell do you get at the solenoid?

Yours is in a different place than mine is. Mine is under the battery tray. Then again, mine is a different year because my dash is totally different. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZhoeLx8nrW3aYE.html&

Removing the battery provides access to the solenoid.

@@robotacropolis Mine didn't. I removed the battery and the plastic tray only to reach a metal plate that was integral to the sides of the dash and frame. The solenoid was bolted to the underside of that. I couldn't even see it with my phone camera, but did manage to get one hand in there with a 7/16 wrench and luckily got both nuts off the solenoid bracket and moved everything towards the steering column far enough to disconnect all the leads. I rerouted it all to the engine-side of the firewall and mounted the new solenoid there. I think our models are slightly different. Here's mine... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZhoeLx8nrW3aYE.html
