Righto, here it is. A Roper Rally L1904BR.
Fitted with a B&S 12HP and it has a 36" deck.

A couple more of the reason why there is no forward motion. I've pulled apart the transaxle assembly and found out that the spur gears and the drive shaft are knackered. Thought about boring the gears and pressing in a bronze bush and welding and machining the shaft. The gearbox/transaxle is a Foote 3264-5 and a long winded search on the web reveals that replacement parts are obsolete.
