Thanks for the ref to Shepton Mallet next week.
This old girl is not seized but needs rebuild. V appreciative of any clues re. spares, manual etc.
No idea why it is green.
Another modification is the drive wheels; the frame has been cut and widened, wheel spacers fixed to drums and wheel dishes reversed.
Previous owner says it was to enable wider rows to be cultivated.
There is no spec plate to be seen anywhere. Can anyone guess its age?
Cheers!

If you have a look at my Norton Engined Trusty project on the old forum (https://www.tractorbox.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6279), you will see I had my clutch shoes relined by Saftek of Cleckheaton (www.saftek.co.uk), for about £30.
I also replaced the rubber bushes, which were supplied by Robush (www.robush.co.uk), there part number being RB3752. They cost me £6.20 each exc VAT, but the carriage was an eye watering £12.15 exc VAT!! They were a perfect match for the originals though.
The dimensions of mine were 3/8″ ID, 13/16″ OD, 3/4″ outside length and 7/8″ inside length.

Rain and hails here in Devon, turning milder again on Friday. So don’t get to excited about snow ploughing yet.

Thank you for all the help,I have had a play with it and can get it to cough, so of to have bit more of a play,don’t want to change the engine as it is original and in nice condition, will try post pictures later,

Do any of you use lead replacement products like redex? As am I right in thinking these engine would of been made for four star fuel?

Hi Westie

Sounds interesting . I have an ancient Gazelle W11 Which is or was a side discharge possibly I’m trying to ft the mounting for the rear grass collector . I want to do this to fit the transport box I have waiting in the shed I believe this is another unusual attachment and was not really designed for the earlier Gazelle But I have a drill and a hammer !!!

I also have heard and seen a plough for the Westwood !! This plough seems to be the plough used on the Howard 350 rotavator, though with a different fitting anyone got any details on this ? I do have a 350 plough
Not sure if the Westwood would be strong enough for serious ploughing but Who nows
