How to Identify your Westwood tractor

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should Westwood mower blades be replaced?
Westwood mower blades typically require replacement every one to two mowing seasons depending on usage intensity, though frequent sharpening can extend their life until the blade material becomes too thin or develops cracks that compromise structural integrity. Commercial operators mowing daily in sandy or abrasive conditions may need blade replacement every few months, whilst residential users on typical lawns can often use blades for multiple seasons with regular sharpening and proper maintenance to preserve the cutting edge and prevent dangerous metal fatigue.
What happens if I install a Westwood blade upside down?
Installing a Westwood blade upside down severely reduces cutting performance because the wings or sail at each blade end are designed to create upward lift that pulls grass upright before cutting, and when reversed these wings actually push grass down into the turf causing ragged cuts and poor mulching. The mower will run but produce terrible results with stringy uncut grass, excessive clumping, and potential scalping, whilst also placing unusual stress on the engine and spindle bearings due to improper airflow under the deck that affects both cutting action and cooling.
Can I sharpen Westwood blades myself or should I replace them?
You can safely sharpen Westwood blades several times using a file, bench grinder, or angle grinder provided you maintain the original blade angle around 30 degrees, remove equal amounts of metal from each end to preserve balance, and stop sharpening once the blade becomes noticeably thinner than original thickness or develops cracks near mounting holes. Professional sharpening services can also balance blades precisely using specialized equipment, but replacement becomes necessary when blades show bending, stress cracks, or have been sharpened so many times that insufficient metal remains to maintain structural strength during high-speed rotation.
Why does my Westwood mower vibrate excessively after blade replacement?
Excessive vibration after installing new Westwood blades typically indicates the blade is not properly balanced, with one end slightly heavier than the other causing wobble at high rotational speeds that stresses bearings and creates uncomfortable operation. This can result from manufacturing variations, damage during shipping, or improper sharpening if you ground more metal off one end than the other, and the solution involves checking balance by suspending the blade on a nail through its centre hole to see if one end drops, then carefully removing small amounts of metal from the heavy end until the blade rests horizontally.
What's the difference between high-lift and low-lift Westwood blades?
High-lift Westwood blades feature taller wings or sails at each end that create strong upward airflow for superior grass discharge and bagging performance by forcefully ejecting clippings through the chute, making them ideal for side-discharge operation or when collecting clippings in wet conditions. Low-lift blades have shorter sails that produce less vacuum and work better for mulching applications or mowing in sandy, dusty conditions where reduced airflow minimises debris circulation whilst still providing adequate cutting performance, and they typically run quieter with less power demand than high-lift designs.
