Norm, I think you will find with pretty much everything coming out of China don't be surprised most makes share the same actual gearbox with the only difference being axle lengths etc. And that is the issue, I wouldn't be surprised that the Masport Commercial uses the same actual gearbox as a Honda. Even the Bases are similar where the gearbox and gearbox obscures half the arch thus reducing wet and long grass performance. MTD/Rover stuffed it when they killed off the 560 by the look of things.
