Are you sure it is a Range Rider? Only reason I ask is because I have a ROOT Range Rider, made by the ROOT company which is oftern confused with the ROOF company.
ROOT made the Range Rider for sure, ROOF made the Palimino and Lariat mowers for sure.
Now if the ROOF company also made a Range Rider, that would explain a lot of the confusion.
I'm sure mines a range rider, and I'm sure its a Root..its cast into the grille! Mine was made in Kansas if I remember right. (Never clean your ID tag with laquer thinner)
