I was on facebook earlier and i saw a w8 paleface with the light cover instead of the headlights, It has the rear exit exhaust and ive never seen a westwood like this before. I restored and sold my other 2 palefaces about a year ago and practically gave up on my youtube channel (ProjectRestore) haha. This mower was breaking for spares but it seemed quite rare with some of the parts it had on it so i thought itd be worth an ask if i could buy it whole. The guy offered it me for £50 so i took it straight away! Its going to be undergoing a full nut and bolt rebuild on my channel because its very rusty which i will be doing in my shed because i find it easier to work there and it means i can be in there 12 hours a day working. The first video will go up in a few months because i want to finish my shed before i get working on it so i will attach some photos now but videos wont be going up for a while yet. (Please bare with me on videos though because im 15 yrs old so it takes a lot of saving up to afford to get parts for it lol) Forgot to add, it came with a good condition brochure, a good condition owners manual and a mint condition engine part guide, all original!

A large box of goodies arrived today from Wallfish in the USA, one and a half Tiny Tiger generators. With the "spare" engine I had with the correct fittings and having a look in the O&R spares stock, I managed to attach generator to engine. I was going to make up a base but as I don't have the correct tank I might leave it on the base its on for now... The second unit needs an exhaust, anyone got a spare one please ? Both units now on display with their buddies, lol

I got a care package in the mail last week look at that is a coil cover wallfish was kind enough to send me one many thanks I will post a pic when I get it on there. The first one is the one I made. ( But I think you could figure that out on your own)

NEWS FLASH!!!! just got some time to work on last months project this month. it been to long time without working on anything I was having withdraws . made some brackets and a new stand repaired all the fuel line scrounged up some more parts and see what happens when you get off your a$$.

I agree. I am currently mole draining my paddock and was interested weather it would help any further and yes it did. just waiting for it to dry again so the top dose not smear and once complete i will drain the tyres and remove the wheel weights for another day. video-1588582014.mp4

Hey Picked this up the other day fairly local to me. It's my second gazelle my other one has the rare rear exhaust. I'm planning on resorting this one to original colours. Where can I get the original orange from? Is the chassis just black or a grey colour? Thanks Tom

I no this was years ago but I have 2 gazelles and currently restoring them. What colour did you use for the bonnet? And is the chassis just black. ?.

Hi I have had the WH X plans scanned here is a cropped sample I can email them to you in PDF form and your local office supplies can print them on A0 paper. I'm after the plan for V (5) if anyone has a copy. I also have the plans for White heat 30 & 60. Regards Daren

Well I couldn’t help myself Titch from machinery decals sent me the decals for this project ( I’m made up wth them ) so I had an impulse and had to put them on even though there is still loads to do on it, what do you all think of them 😂

Have a look at these two. www.4x4tyres.co.uk/tyres allterraintyres.co.uk ‎ Why this ad?

Not 100% sure if this saw was polished or came from the factory that way but it doesn't have the usual painted finish. It seems like it would be very difficult to polish the metal around the original decal without destroying it. Looks kind of cool nice and shiney. This is the old school type with a real early engine. Recoils screws from the back

Chromer C-Saw all done for now. Decided to leave the tank handle shinie and no new paint. That can be done by the next person. Found a chrome muffler to go on there too. Had a bit of a struggle with assembly. These have plenty of tough to get to screws. First the crank bound up after engine assembly and had to pull it apart 3 or 4 times because of a roller slipping out each time. Finally got that good to go then assembled like the last pics. Put the recoil cover on and went to do the coil cover. No go as the replacement coil I used wouldn't allow the cover. Fix the wires on the original and assemble again. That little nut on the post is very difficult to get to and the fatter wire on the repaired coil didn't want to snake behind the flywheel. Cover fits perfect this time BUT, forgot to install the governor vein. Take it apart and do it all over again and those reverse cover slot screws are a pain with the engine on the saw base not to mention the worst one is the back of the coil cover. Also got zapped pretty good while pulling it over and checking for spark. Seems Tom Easley (the name engraved into it) is haunting the saw! Maybe he wants the red parts painted?

Just need to do the recoil and I'll probably paint the top handle. Then a final clean and polish as it's difficult to keep clean while working on it.
