Its been a long time since I did an update! The restoration is moving along nicely, heres a few pictures from what seems to be months ago now. Heres one of the wheels cleaned up, notice all of the welding. We have replaced a lot of metal which had completely rusted away. The chassis was primed, its currently in the stages of being painted red. The brake drum for the trans was missing so when I was at Newby hall I took some measurements from Chris' RJ. We had a cast pulley hanging around which was a near identical casting to the original and the bore and keyway were the same. With lots of turning I ended up with as perfect a match as I would ever get Before and after In situ More updates to follow shortly

Seems there is a new addition to the herd As far as I know this is one of the earliest Westwoods. If you look at the foot rests they are very different from the later ones which rise up near the front of the mower, and have some pretty nice sharp angles The gear selector is in the same sort of place in front of the seat as a classic Wheelhorse instead of being column shift. The whole mower also seems to sit a couple of inches lower than my other Gazelle. It is basically exactly the same as my other one but everything is slightly different. As far as I know this is from the late 1970s, but I shall check tomorrow, and get some better photos. It does not run currently, the carb needs some attention and the deck needs a new belt to mow with. I plan on keeping this Gazelle as original as possible, I have rarely seen ones of this age about, and it isn't in bad condition at all, only some surface rust. It needs some TLC but overall is very solid. I think it would be a shame to repaint it but I wouldn't want it to eventually rust away, is there any product I can use to preserve it whilst keeping it with an original look?
