From what i understand rover were around in the mid to late 60's but mainly with push mowers. Greenfield had the hd8 in the mid 60's because they used a fairly common horizontal shaft engine. What i can work out vertical shaft engines werent as readily available back then in higher horsepower. Even the early cox ride ons only had a 5hp. If there is a rancher 1 they must be very rare. I need to scan my original rover sales brochure for you all, it is in full colour with the whole range.
