Gardenmaster 85 owner handbook and photos of mine with Tarpen drive, sorry for poor photos as its surrounded by crap... Brochure photo as well...

You should try a Jeep Cherokee, it has a core plug behind the flywheel, so it is either engine out or gearbox and transfer box out ! The core plug rots every few years as its in contact with an aluminium plate. Its not only Land Rover that comes up with great designs.

brought back from france after cutting 3 acrers of tall grass and brambles they recon this will go through most things, does anyone know about these, its not my cup of tea so it will be for sale at some point. its 1981 vintage

Mark could let you have that one, Chris. Finn will have out grown it by now.

I can't really alter the listing, as there are bids, but if the sale goes through, I could give the buyer the details of the forum, and you might be able to do a deal maybe?

Try aluminum foil to clean that chrome. Plenty of instructions about it on Youtube and it works great.

Nice! The 11hp looks like a mid-1980s Westwood Gazelle W11, and the 8hp looks like a 1980's "baby" Westwood Gazelle.

Good afternoon all, I check the governor this morning - it's working fine and not hanging up. Seems like 140 or so VAC is normal for these without a load. With a 60 watt light bulb (the old filament kind) it settled down to 125 VAC. Pretty cool little machine. Runs really nicely and isn't as loud as I thought it would be. Finally got some photos taken of it this morning as well. thanks much, ben

If one of the bushes you require is #28 in Mark's diagram above, I may be able to help. If I remember rightly, that Bronze Bushing is 1/2" bore x 9/16" x 3/4" flange (part nbr 6229). I need to make one myself . If you need others like PTO Lever Rod bushes or the Fender Seat pivot bushes on the earlier models (different sizes and part nbrs), I also have made these for my Tractors. I'll have to check my stock of Gunmetal Bronze, but sure I have enough to make a few more. Send me a PM of you need any more help.

Does this help?
