How to Identify your Westwood tractor

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do plastic drive wheel gears keep stripping?
Plastic gear stripping results from misaligned pivot arms preventing proper mesh, worn bearings creating excessive play, hitting obstacles whilst engaged stopping wheels instantly, or inherent plastic weakness against metal pinions. Metal gear upgrades resolve issues.
How do I upgrade to metal drive gears?
Upgrade by purchasing metal gear wheel kits containing wheels, pinion gears, bearings, and housings; remove old wheels, install complete metal gear assemblies following alignment procedures. Metal gears significantly outlast plastic originals.
What causes wheels to lock when pulling backward?
Backward locking indicates stripped drive gears no longer releasing, worn wheel bearings binding, damaged pinion gears catching, or transmission issues preventing freewheel. Inspect gears first; stripping most common cause.
How do I check wheel gear alignment?
Check alignment by raising rear wheels, spinning them manually checking smooth rotation without binding or clicking. Properly aligned gears mesh smoothly; misalignment causes grinding requiring pivot arm adjustment.
Can damaged wheel rims be repaired?
Severely bent or cracked rims require replacement ensuring safe operation; minor bends on steel rims can sometimes be straightened carefully. Riding on flat tyres damages rims necessitating replacement regardless of repair attempts.
