Full parts list (text)

The full Rover Mowers (Aust) Pty Ltd spare parts catalogue for the Thoroughbred reel mower, covering models 8516 (16″), 8408 (14″) and 8503 (16″). The Illus. No. column matches the numbered exploded diagrams in the viewer above.

Quantities are listed separately for the 16″ and 14″ machines. Where a row shows a quantity in only one column, that part is specific to that cutting width — the two widths often use different part numbers for the same item (scrapers, landrolls, side plates, catcher hooks and the cutting cylinder itself).

Engines fitted were the Kirby Model H4 (16″) and Briggs & Stratton Model 80102 (14″) and 80202 (16″).
