Does anybody know what drive these rear engined Coxes use and if any of the drive bits are available.

G'day Norm,
That one's a "Scout XL 28" model. They use a cone and plate friction drive setup, like this one:

The cone is the main wear part, and they are available for this model, unlike some of the earlier Cox models.

See HERE.

If the cone engagement surfaces on the plates are grooved, they will need machining. Otherwise, a deglaze is all that's needed. As in :
Quote
When installing a new Cox drive cone please insure the drive plate surfaces are in good condition with no grooves. It is
necessary to deglaze the drive plate surface so the new cone will not slip generating excessive heat & damaging the drive cone. As the new
cones can no longer contain asbestos over heating will cause premature failure. A quick way to deglaze the drive plates is to use a 4� disc
sander with medium grit paper. This can also be done quickly at each service to reduce drive failure.
It is only necessary to take the shine off the surface to give the cone a surface to grip to. Any grooves will need to be machined in a lathe


Cheers,
Gadge

Thanks Gadge, nice clean,simple setup, all manufacturers seem to have come up with different ideas around a simple forward and reverse drive system

Yep, this setup was very durable, when they could use asbestos in the cones. Dunno about nowadays, though.
But as I recall, Cox and Deckson were the only Oz manufacturers to use it.

I have a cone in my Dekson wheelbarrow and it is extremely powerful and the cone is a bit ratty but it really engages easily. Have you looked at the cone. If it looks reasonable there must be something wrong with the leverage arm somewhere
