World's Oldest Westwood Gazelle Lawn Tractor Found At Last

Scientists believe the quest to find the earliest surviving Westwood Gazelle may actually be over. This stunning 'paleface' from 1982 still retains its original 11HP Briggs & Stratton engine and emerges from the gloom of an obscure garden shed into the limelight of glorious global recognition. If anyone knows of an earlier example of Westwood Garden Tractor we need to know about it.
Thank you

Woah, thats based offa dynamark over here in the states, grille n everything. I got a '82, '84 and '88 dynamark , my '82 is like 90% original, paint , wheels and deck blades. I had to replace the deck mandrels tho, and fix the pitman arm. Nice machine!

How can you tell the age of them?

[@faylaurer2121]

[@ryanmanson9415]

Think mine is 1981? Not sure

[@greggsmith9785]

Are they hydrostatic gearing

[@tractorhead971]

No, manual

[@yamrider_6182]

1: dont turn the Starter so long
2:thats not the oldest Westwood
3:it is running like Nüsse

[@tractorhead971]

Don't worry, this one was bought by a group of lads for mower racing so it's unlikely to still exist.
