Hi to William and grumpy,
I agree grumpy, without pics we are flying blind here as to which year/model it is.
However, prior to the take over by Rover in 1980, no covers were fitted over the pulleys or counter shafts by Scott Bonnar as OH&S (and political correctness) had not kicked in....the people operating these industrial machines were apprenticed as greenskeepers and expected to know the dangers of working around moving parts (and responsible for their own actions).... (the sport of litigation had not become fashionable either)
In fact, the Model 45 did not have a cover until 1988, when Rover fitted them.
William, can you please post some pics...
Thanks mate,
