Can anyone help identify this gearbox found in an old barn which has been suggested came from a Douglas. It has  the marking PATENT H  5007 it's appears to be 2-speed with ratios of 1:1 or 1:0.6  the output shaft on the opposite side being lefthand thread and a  number 163 stamped on both castings. Hope the photo helps.

Most definitely a Douglas gearbox, but it is a 3 speed. It is from a 3 1/2hp or early 4hp machine with the cone clutch on the final drive side of the box. I'm sure there will be plenty of people interested in acquiring it!

approximately  1:1.5 , 1:1 and 1:0.75.

Hello All, From where I looked on ebay the said 4 hp box has expired with out a bid. Like I say A $ 400 would have been the price I would have paid had the location been in Aust or NZ. I am in no hurry one will come one day or an alternate transplant will take place. regards Alan
