Thanks to all who replied to my original post.
I have a model number for the Rancher 18188 serial number 1020169 and I'm pleased to report it turned out to be every thing I expected. It does have enough grunt to cope with the steep sections in my yard even with my ample 100kg frame on it, but surprisingly it has just thrown the drive belt to the twin disc Auto drive system. Probably only done 5 hours in my yard so I will be curious to see if the belt has worn already or there is some other reason. Maybe pushing my fat arse uphill is a bit to much to ask but it seemed to cope ok
Anyway looks like I'll gladly pay the fee for the users guide if someone can verify that yes there is a manual for a rover rancher model number 18188 in the parts list and manual section.
By the way can anyone tell me when this thing might have rolled off the production line?
Cheers and thanks again for you help and friendly banter.
