Great video. Many thanks. I have just bought one of these machines. The PTO to sweeper belt is missing. No problem replacing that. I think the engine to PTO belt may be missing also but I can't be sure. Do you have any details on how to replace the engine to PTO belt. many thanks again.

Thanks, you will have to remove the deck, then depending on the model, from underneath the bottom drive belt needs to come off the engine shaft pulley, you will have to undo some idler pulleys etc and disconnect the electromagnetic clutch to get the belts off. The PTO belt is normally the top belt closest to the engine.

Is it possible to use a newer style grass collector with this older style westwood lawn tractor? my grass collector like this one in the video has seen better days and some spares are not availble anymore so i was looking at replacing with the newer style westwood grass collector.

No not really possible as the mounting brackets/system is different on the newer ones. You would have to change over the whole bracket system on the mower. Look for a good second hand 1 is your best bet. There are 2 different styles of collectors that should fit this older tractor.

You should be able to get sweepers to fit that westwood if it has a pto function, You need to make sure you get the right type for the year of your mower, as there are different mounting brackets/styles.
