Wristpin 400 #26 Posted June 20, 2020 A great job. It’s almost certainly considerably better than when it left the factory as Westwoods of that era were thrown together with dodgy paint and parts book instructions to “ use as necessary” when it came to shims and washers etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toma 54 #27 Posted June 20, 2020 The paint was very good, in some places it didn't want to go down when sandblasting. Overall, the 37-year-old condition was well preserved, perhaps thanks to the user. I love these tractors, I use newer Countax on a daily basis, but the older Westwoods are great.

Of course, everything is sandblasted beforehand. 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 1,016 #36 Posted June 26, 2022 Very nice work Toma, I'm impressed. I like the extra fuel can stowage idea/design. I'm sure it drives a well as it looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
