Westwood T1200 Owners Manual2/15/2023 ![]() Lucky tbh it's not both wheels stuck as was the case with my mower under the tarp. Typically as is the case with these mowers the n/s rear wheel was seized solid on the shaft of this salvaged gearbox/axle. ![]() Of the two salvaged wheels one pumped up OK to 10psi the other is all cracked and leaking like a sieve. The nuts and bolts that attach the gearbox have been put in an open topped plastic bag and lowered into the citric acid barrel for it to work it's magic. The salvaged Peerless (American made) "crash" gearbox c/w wheels/tyres removed and back home sitting atop my mower after a cursory jet wash and attempt to pump the tyres up. I had permission to turn both over on their bonnets. There were in fact two similar mowers there. (Social distancing on a 5 acre plot is not an issue btw ). Went off to a neighbours yesterday to rescue the seemingly good gearbox from an abandoned mower that hit a stump and has the front end all bent up. It changes up/down OK but it feels like something is slipping in the gearbox, it's SO slow. ![]() Factory filled apparently with (mega expensive) Bentonite lubricant and then the casing sealed with "Permatex 599 Ultra Gray". Well.the repaired mower deck is good but the mower gearbox isn't well.
