Norman Wilkins 2 #1 Posted November 19 I've been collecting and working on Westwood Tractors for some years, and have a few, and yesterday took delivery of a W11 Mark 1 after wanting one for some time. I am very much into original patina so am very pleased with the condition of the paint and decals . The only thing is at some point the gear change has been repaired and although it works well I would like to fit an original lever and leather boot/cover. Does anyone possibly have one they would sell ? The machine has sat unused in the dry for many years so my first job is to get it running , then clean the paintwork and treat with Owatrol oil to preserve it. The deck is nice and solid but has been painted with zinc primer so I will probably return it to original colour. Very pleased with this machine, and looks great parked with my Mark 2 W11, my T1000 and my work horse D1200. Proper engineering these Westwoods ,built to last ! 1 meadowfield reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norman Wilkins 2 #2 Posted Sunday at 11:43 AM Update : Have now got this machine running and driving, carb needed a good clean, and the ignition coil was dead so replaced. Drives very well for a 48 year old ! Steering is a bit loose so next job is to have a look at the fascinating 'chain and gear' set up to see if there is any adjustment. Then a proper clean of all the metalwork and treat with Owatrol oil to preserve the original patina. Only thing I will paint is the deck to return to the correct colour but will use a matt finish so it isnt too obvious. Real pleased with this machine and so glad to save it from scrap. 1 meadowfield reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
