Not sure why, but I brought this home today.
Roper GT18. Tractor Data says 1984-1988. Not sure what year since I haven’t found a breakdown on serial numbers yet. 2948s00012. GT18FR.
18 horse Briggs. horizontal twin. 6 speed transaxle.
It’s got to have the biggesr grill of anything I’ve owned.
The tins are in good shape other than the extra holes drilled in them for the tool holders.

Couldn’t stand the dirt. Pulled the hood and side panels off. Removed a ton of dirt/oil from everything.
Installed a battery and it would turn over but not getting any gas. Would fire off on carb spray. Installed a small temporary gas tank and she fired up and ran. Smoked really bad and was puking oil out the crankcase breather really bad. That explained the layer of grime all over everything. Plus it was making a suspicious knocking noise. It was only running on the left cylinder. The right side was cold. I went ahead and drove it. The transaxle seems ok. The mower deck ran and cut nice.
I have a twin cylinder Briggs to put in it,,,,,Maybe. Not sure if I want to on this unit.
I’ll push it into a corner and think about it.
