Hi Charlie
I’ve not seen it in the metal yet, from the photos looks like an engine number then, no photo of main plate if it still exists. I’ll ask again when I’ve collected it! Thanks

Any help in locating above items appreciated.

What gearbox (make) is fitted on these Roper machines ?.I guess you will have to strip the gearbox and have a look inside.May be a stripped gear or damaged selector ?

Hi Charle, the rebuild is going well, all bushes fitted and have re assembled the gearbox, although I can’t for the life of me remember where these 2 washers go? Any ideas?

Pleased to see you’ve made some progress. I don’t know how it sounds, but would it improve with driving about. Give it a bit of a blow out. Be nice if you can sort this engine. I’m hopping for a dry October. Owen.

Thanks Charlie.

Westwood made nearly everything ‘in house’ apart from the Peerless gearboxes and Briggs engines which were bought in. Even then the engines might have been what Briggs happened to have ready that day!

In the early days things were a bit hit and miss with the parts books being rather fond of “use as necessary” when it came to shims and thrust washers. I remember buying a pack of three cutter spindles and there was 5/16″ (yes 5/16″!!) difference in length between the longest and shortest.
That aside they had to be admired for having the guts to come up with a home built product when the alternatives were expensive imports. Any one remember their first powered grass collector – friction driven off the back wheels?

Hi vdub10
I’m new to the forum and I know your post was some time ago. Did you fabricate the exhaust yourself and how did you fit the air filter please ?

Hi
New to the forum. It looks to me like my Gazelle which is remarkably similar to a T1100. My T1200 has all orange chassis, separate large petrol tank next to the battery behind the dash and full PTO whereas the Gazelle has engine mounted tank and black chassis and PTO is not there.

Finally the 22″Ploughing wheels and Plough….. I have to say its a bit of a beast in this guise! Lifting the machine onto the offset axle is a hefty task, requiring some assistance from the wife to guide the handlebars and watch the holes lining up. Once together it looks awesome, I can’t wait to find some ground and have a go with it!!! But, only after Tractor World Autumn!
