How about a picture of the mower and closeup of the gearbox. Would certainly help get it identified.

Since I have several old bush hogs out back, and two of them are blue, I might be willing to go out and take a look provided I knew what I was looking for. I also add that a couple of pictures would do wonders for identifying the gearbox.No way am I going to climb around those things looking for a number to match unless the picture closely resembles it. I would also be hesitant to do it, considering you may be located halfway around the world as shipping might be more than the gearbox is worth.

Jim, get out your ruler/tape and measure the holes (size and distance between) where the gearbox mounts to the deck. Go to a nearby TSC and measure the same dimensions on one of their gearboxes. I know Howse and King Kutter use 40 hp gearboxes that are interchangeable because I swapped one from a Howse to a King Kutter.
I say all this because if you cannot ID the cutter, even finding the brand might not be much help. There may be no parts available. This is the best advice I can give without a picture of the cutter showing specific details like if it has a stump jumper and how many teeth are on the output shaft going inside the stump jumper. I have an old mower with a good gearbox and mangled blades. The spline is 11 teeth, a bit of an oddball. You just never know. When an old mower like this breaks, it's sometimes better to haul it to the scrapyard and go buy a new one or a used one of known brand with parts support.
