OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping For Sale Rover Posi-traction Drive Dogs

Rover drive dogs are no longer available so I had to make some for my rover self-propelled mower and made a extra set , made them a tad larger in diameter and the teeth bigger than the original dogs for longer wearing , they work well with no slippage wet or dry ground,
left and right hand threads I have to ask $40 the pair due time it took to make them

Hello dodegy

That's brilliant!
Whenever I see these advertised - as NOS - they are never in sets.
[a set has one LH dog and one RH dog per mower]

Your reproductions are as good as - if not better than the originals.
There will be no profit at that price!

G'day folks,
+1 to CyberJack on a job well done. The last GA Spares RRP I can find for a set of these is $24.90, so for sure they're not a moneymaker for you. Especially if you bought the LH thread tap!

Yours should last a fair bit longer.

thanks gadge and cyberjack for the comments, I know there not worth much in the material sense, but the time involved to make manually one offs is considerable. rover would have had a auto machine making hundreds per hour, may be some one might want a set , most of the drive dogs on the mowers I have seen are well worn and when I asked at a couple of mower shops for some the responses and looks I got were not very help full , so I decided to make some, bit of mucking around but worth it

Can I buy these please?
