Hi everyone,
 
I'm new here to the forum and just wanted to say I'm really enjoying this thread.
It's good to see an original Westwood W11 being preserved, I think these are classic machines now, they look really cool and are very tough.
I have a lot of good memories of these machines!
 
Look forward to seeing more! Happy New Years!

Hi. I bought this for my son as he is interested in tractors and was interested to find this forum.  The cutting deck is a bit rusty but for now I have removed this.  The front wheel in the picture is the wrong one but fortunately the seller still had the original.
 

 
 
My son is 8 so I moved the set forward and made up a pedal extension so he could drive it. I have since made a better job of this (but only slightly) !
 

 
While he can drive it OK now I am considering fitting a centrifugal clutch and wondered if anyone else had done similar. I'd like to keep it as near to standard as possible so don't want to go too mad. With no engine braking I will need to fit a better brake. The original isn't working and I haven't managed to strip it down as the bolts going into the gearbox case are pretty stuck. I think attempting to remove them might involve stripping the threads so I will have to have to try a bit harder. One thought it to fit a brake to the power take off which might work for the time being at least. 

Slightly off piste but Mowmaster's handle and avatar reminds me of when the green Mowmaster 332 was introduced at the price of £999, and we sold dozens of those and the later red 333 . Looking back on my records I see  one 332 that we sold  in 1996 was still returning for an annual service when I retired in 2012.
