In this video I am restoring a British 1983 Westwood Gazelle W8 Ride on Mower. As with all of my restorations I fully dismantle the machine then have it all sandblasted and powder coated. Join me as I restore this retro British lawnmower.
Thank you to my Patrons

I know I'm officially getting old when I new LAWN MOWER restoration video is posted and I feel like my day has been MADE!
I'm getting old right along with you.
... or when restores a younger mower than me....
Man, I watched it from start to finish. He's the Bob Ross of Lawn Mowers. He should change the name to "The Joy of Small Engines".
@@kvitravn6354 I didn't think about BEFORE,..but I am NOW?!
@@rickrudd Yeah he should. I watch his videos multiple times. Just so I can learn what everything is called.
I would love to see a short video of how you sort and label all of the nuts and bolts when doing a restoration.
I would also like to see this!
WOW, what a nice little tractor. And what a beautiful job you did.
Im 15 and you inspire me to do these kind of things, you did an amazing job of restoring this mower.❤❤
Love watching your restoration work and hearing your commentary. Fantastic job as always.
Thanks!

Wow, absolutely brilliant mate! This must be your most thorough and detailed restoration yet, and it came out better than factory! I would say it's worthy an afterlife as a display piece, in a vintage museum or similar, rather than an actually daily workhorse in the garden. Bloody well done Sir! 👍👍👍
Turned out very hotrodish for a mower lol, started thinking how cool it would look without the mower deck set up as a racing mower 👍
Officially a good day when a new restoration video comes up. Thank you Daggerwin!
Better now than it was Brand new, Excellent job Brother!!
Fantastic restauration!🥰 I only miss the powerwash after the grass cutting. 😊
Brilliant somebody to talk you through the video and not just leave you with a silent video. love the videos excellent job George in Stoke 👍😂
I have watched many of this kind videos but honestly this one was more perfect and in detail
Finished a busy work week. Popcorn in hand. Ready to watch the genius at work!
It's amazing. You are the best restorer and teacher mystery restoring. Tom from Poland
Once again, your restoration was a thing of beauty. And again I find myself jealous of the men who originally designed this machine in all its complexity and envy them their expertise. It's practically art.
Wow thats an Amazing Lawn Tractor, awesome job she really eats that grass
Wow absolutely brilliant. It's hard to believe that it was once so rotten and rusty. Super! Many thanks for this tutorial. Keep up the good work.
A true craftsman amazing to watch as always you have made my day
It's always good to see a Techumseh part in a ride on mower, I live in the same town in which they were built and where their HQ was.
I love the detail in this video and wonder how in the world you remember where all those parts go. It's at another level of restoration.
It is always a comforting surprise when a new restoration video uploads, love the commentary and process of the restoration, keep up the amazing work 😃
This restoration is really interesting! Good work as always. Love relaxing to these videos and learn a thing or two!
Wow!..that was a Zen thing with a couple of cups of coffee! Thankyou for your effort..Cheers from Ontario, 🇨🇦.
I love your restorations. Thx for the video. Mower looks gr8. This is a brand new mower. You are so thorough with your restorations. I would not have the patience to pull this off.
Very nice to see you bring old equipment back to life. This helps me get a better understanding of how the briggs-and-stratton engines work too!
Beautifully done as always! 👍👍
Them tires made it completely different. Looks awesome
You found a gem in this one. Tremendous restoration. I personally like long videos, as I don't watch TV. Many You Tubers don't. You may want to make a part one and part two out of this for those that prefer shorter versions. It might increase your views.
one and a half hour of ASMR.😁 These restorations are better than new.👍 I bet there goes a lot more work into it than here is shown. Everything is done so incredibly meticulous👍👍
Excellent job sir. That’s the first Briggs of that era I’ve seen with the vibration dampening .
I'm actually blown away. I thought you played games for a living. I had no idea the talent you have for restorations and mechanics. Great job my guy! I will be checking more out.
Your video productions are always A-1: great sound, lighting, and voice. Plus, I love the fact that you typically replace hardware with new bolts & lock nuts. Thank you!
The owner of this mower must have used a high quality engine oil amazingly clean! Very good job sir 👏
Great video, far better than most on KZhead. One note, when setting the lash on valves (the gap between the valve and the tappet), this should be done with the engine at TDC. In the video, one valve is clearly compressed meaning you are not at TDC and therefore will get a false gap measurement. At TDC, no pressure is on the valves from the cam. In an L-head engine, it is rare to have to adjust factory clearances if reusing "good" or not excessively worn components.
Wow.. That is a real work of art.. Your content is always worth the wait! Did anyone else see the grass cutting at the end and briefly think "NOOOOOOOO" 😅
I always enjoy your disciplined approach to your projects and detailed descriptions of your procedures. BTW, You grass HAS to be the Most Cut Grass I've ever seen!!
This man is phenomenal and maticulous in his restorations. I relate to him because he has the same ocd qualities I have .....!!!
I love watching your videos! I've learned so much watching them....keep it up please.
The fact that it started like on the 3rd pull and mowed and ran fine just shows how old mowers have such a good build quality like old cub cadets.
Sir, you have made such a beautiful job here. I would be frightened to use it, for fear of getting it dirty. Seriously, an excellent restoration, thank you for sharing !
ANOTHER fantastic restoration! I am always impressed by your attention to detail, especially with the placement of new decals. Great job mate!
Just love these restorations!
A beautiful restoration, as always!
Your Restoration of the mower was very Satisfying good job and good work 😊👍🏻
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome resto dagg.
Fantastic job. Looks new. Thanks for explaining each step of dismantling and assembly. Take care and wish you the best for the future ❤
Super video 👍 Strong built tractor
With all the precision and care, I feel it better than new. Now if I tried to do this, I would have enough parts left over to make 1/2 of another mower. Fantastic Job, Thanks for sharing. 👍🍺
It would be cool if new machines look like these awesome lawn tractors.
Hello, finally someone did the correct paint color. I described it in the forum My Old Machine , in the topic : "Westwood W8 (1983) "Baby" - restoration". Bravo, great, it came out beautifully. Another machine restored to factory condition.
Can't believe I've been sleeping on your other channel, Daggerwin! I've been binging Farming Sim videos for about two years now and just never made it over to this channel until today. Can't wait to see more!
Wonderful film with calming bird song!
Unbelievable attention to detail! Well done 👏
What a good candidate for a restoration as it's in pretty good condition. With the stainless hardware you should use anti sieze, it becomes an issue if you ever want to unbolt it in the future. I rather have a rusted steel bolt then a seized stainless bolt when I need to disassemble something.
Bro love how you narrated this video! Gives more detail on what’s going on! Been waiting for this video!!!!
Beautiful restoration with excellent results! Thank you for posting!
That lawn tractor looks better than it did when it came off the showroom floor 40 years ago you didn't mind blowing amazing job restoring this long tractor it's awesome that'll hopefully live on for another maybe 40 years after the great work you have done to it
Loved watching the entirety of the video! The machine looks brand new!
Prime example of "while I'm in there I might as well" lol. Awesome job and so refreshing to watch.
Great video! Awesome job on restoring the ride on mower! Love watching your videos.
Your attention to detail is amazing, I love you video's and am always so happy to see when a new one gets posted. Keep up the amazing work.
I only found your channel as i am looking for a ride on mower to cut the grass at my model flying site, i am so impressed at your eye for detail and am now gonna spend way too much time going through your back catalogue of videos. Thanks.
Top notch restoration!
Excellent J.O.B. Sir. Looks better than new. Keep up the videos. Outstanding!!
What a cracking result, proper job!, well done that man.
I wouldn’t want to use it let alone cut grass with it after such a brilliant restoration. All the best. Mick
Awesome job as always 👍👍👍.
Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done
Beautiful restoration. Great job sir.🤔🤠👍⭐🇺🇲
A time laps with some music for mowing that area would have topped it off haha😂. Great work Daggerwin
Love these videos so much!
Your eye for detail is outstanding. Great restoration as always and can't waite to see what's next on your list. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Rain check. Will watch this later, when I have time to enjoy it proper.
Well done! I graduated from high school in 1982, and this mower now looks as new as the day it left the factory. Cheers!
Wonderful video. I really appreciate you sharing. Great job as always. I look forward to seeing your next restoration.
Another amazing restoration video! I learn a lot by watching you. Please continue, you have a wonderful channel!
Love that you explain everything, geat job
unbelievable. except I just saw it. Great work matey
That same demonstration from a drone’s perspective at low altitude would be really cool. Excellent and entertaining video as always. Thank you
Awesome restoration this guy knows his shit awesome job
I think it’s absolutely incredible how you can remember where everything goes and understand how everything works 🙏🙏 love watching these videos, super interesting and so relaxing too 😊
Thank you, glad you enjoy them :)
Very nice! I thought sure you should hone that cylinder but no smoke! Can't wait until the next one, thanks.
Me too
amazing yessss i wait for weeks and even months for these videos and i am always amazed. 10/10 keep it up
Nice stop knot!
Finished Job looks brand new, and cuts really well. Another awesome restoration. Thank you for posting the video.
This video is awesome. As you took everything apart, it gave me a nightmare from some projects I have done over the years. I keep taking parts and keep taking parts keep taking parts, and then the horror of having to remember where they all go. 😂
so good to see a proper restoration. not just a break down, clean and slap together.. no new bearings seals etc.. Thank you for this very good video. one of the few proper ones
Lawn Mower Restoration ASMR! Didn't know how much I needed this.
Beautiful job on the restoration 10 out of 10👍👍
An excellent restoration. Very good attention to detail, and careful craftsmanship. This mower lasted for 40 years because it appears to have been reasonably well maintained, and it is mainly steel. Minimal plastic. Now it's ready for another 40 years. The narration is appreciated. Its helps explain and adds to the viewers knowledge. Thanks
Wow great restoration. Thanks for another great video.
An Amazing Restoration video. That little mower needs too be preserved as a display case. So darn cute! It's pretty bad when I sit to watch Lawn mower Restoration videos, instead of doing my Laundry. Lol!
You know I’m re watching and thinking about my time there in England. It was probably the best time of my life round about 1992. I was at raf chicksands and it was so much fun being there. I hope to have a donnerkebab which I will miss to my dyeing breath. Fish and chips which i thought was as overrated until I had mine wrapped in newspaper. I bought a bicycle and rode all over the country side. Brother I miss it.
When you put the tractor tyres on the mowers make them look so much better. Very smart job
I am here for the flywheel removal POP. I was NOT disappointed 🧐 Every single time, Daggerwin jumps lol
Well done! One of your best restorations to date. You can tell this resto took a couple of months (if not more!) because the grass was getting quite long.
I'm starting a mild restoration of an old Toro triple gang reels. If my current setup cannot pull it then I have plans to make a tandem axle hydrostatic lawn tractor. This video ia great motivation.
Beautiful job
Went with an aggressive tire. Loved the video.
Thank you for filming, editing and sharing this project.
