I've acquired a Rally Roper with a briggs 12hp. I'm trying to obtain a bit of knowledge before I start pulling it down. It has no forward drive and the motor needs some attention with the massive oil burning problems. The steering needs some work as well. Should be a good project.

I'm hoping that the gearbox problem is simply a busted shear pin for the forward gears and a hone with a set of rings for the motor. Anyone have any clues for me?
