Frequently Asked Questions

What causes gearbox noise in Westwood mowers?
Gearbox noise indicates worn gears creating grinding, low gear oil reducing lubrication, damaged bearings causing rumbling, or loose mounting allowing vibration. Regular oil changes prevent premature gear wear.
How often should gearbox oil be changed?
Change gearbox oil every 100 hours or annually using manufacturer-specified gear oil maintaining proper viscosity. Check oil level seasonally through fill plugs; low levels accelerate internal wear dramatically.
Can Westwood gearboxes be rebuilt?
Gearbox rebuilding requires specialized knowledge and parts availability; replacement often proves more economical considering labour costs. Severely worn gears necessitate complete gearbox replacement ensuring reliability.
What causes gearbox oil leaks?
Gearbox leaks result from worn output seals, damaged housing gaskets, loose fill/drain plugs, overfilled housings creating pressure, or impact damage cracking cases. Address leaks immediately preventing gear damage.
How do I prevent gearbox failures?
Prevent gearbox failures by maintaining proper oil levels, changing oil at recommended intervals, avoiding overloading equipment, keeping housings clean preventing heat buildup, and inspecting mounting bolts maintaining secure attachment.
