the showman 4,074 #4 Posted April 30, 2016 I'm pretty sure these are manuals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryt 281 #5 Posted April 30, 2016 You can get second hand parts but they are still quite pricey. You might be better off trying to find a second hand gearbox, also taking apart the hydrostatic transmission are not the easiest but can be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris 642 #11 Posted May 1, 2016 Westwoods are not up to the job & fall apart Get something built in the US Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the wheels always get stuck on the shaft cos no one seems to copper slip them so they hit them with big hammers to get them off and it seems to fracture the shafts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #13 Posted May 1, 2016 Makes sense... Took nearly ten tonne in the press to get one of Ewan's Westwood wheels off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
