Roper garden tractor won't engage low range

[michaelliddiard]

Good evening

I have recently acquired a Roper T12882AR which from the date code on the 11hp Briggs and Stratton engine dates from 1978.

All works fine on the tractor except that it is not possible to select low range, the range selector moves freely between high and neutral but just won’t go into low, I have today checked that the high low selector where it enters the gear box is free from rust and muck which could be blocking it and also that the cotter pin connecting the selector shaft to the selector handle is a good tight fit.

Does any one have any ideas what the issue could be?

What gearbox (make) is fitted on these Roper machines ?.I guess you will have to strip the gearbox and have a look inside.May be a stripped gear or damaged selector ?
