A little help on finding how old your tractor is.


Garden Tractor Spares Launches!

We are happy to announce the launch of our new website

If you still cannot find what you want send an email to nick@gardentractorspares.co.uk.
Identifying your Part
It would make our lives a lot easier if you could identify your parts before your contact us, below is a short guide on how to obtain the numbers required:

1. Make and Model of your machine

2. Year of Manafacture, Product code and Serial number

Westwood Tractors
Year of Manufacture
To find this look at the engine and find the engine numbers. The first two digits of the code on a Briggs and Stratton engine are the year of manufacture of the engine. In this case 2006.
Product Label
The product label is found under the seat or at the back of the steering bulkhead under the bonnet, note the product code 8882.

With these numbers go to www.westwoodtractorspares.co.uk. Go to 'Parts Lists' and using this date you can download a complete parts listing.

Snapper Tractors
Snapper tractors also have a silver label. They are found under the seat or on the back of the tractor.

The label shown is from a Snapper Rear engine rider. The model number is 7800502, E3315 tells us its a 33" cut with a 15 hp engine

Using this in formation go to our web site www.snappertractorspares.co.uk and find the relative parts diagrams.


Toro Tractors
The information on this Toro label can be used to find your parts manuals and diagrams.

On our website www.torotractorspares.co.uk click on the link to Shoptoro and put in your model and serial number to download your part diagram and manual.

The Little Red Westwood


Dear Nick,
Thank you for your email, the history of the Red Tractor is as follows;

A Westwood tractor was originally purchased from Makro, it was a 7/8HP with 3 speed gear box, we had that much trouble with it that Makro arranged for it to be returned to Westwood in Plymouth at the end of the summer. Westwood actually collected it in one of their lorries. Some weeks later I received a letter from Westwood (which I may still have somewhere) stating they had dismantled the tractor and had learnt a great deal from it, to save reassembling it would I accept one of their new 11HP 5 speed Gazelles in free replacement, so naturally I said thank you very much, and it was duly delivered on document " Order No 13961 but no date". it originally came with a grass box, subsequently I purchased the "lawngroomer" and the "snow plough attachment" (on an invoice from Westwood dated 5/01/1979) on different occasions. Unfortunately using the snow plough damaged the steering and it became very sloppy, on another occasion I broke a half shaft for which I managed to get a replacement, and also the rod from the steering box to the trackrod end had to be welded, it was never the same. It had a habit of getting though drive belts to the cutting deck fairly regularly.


Hope you find this interesting,
Kind regards,
Donald P.

Our First Newsletter






March Newsletter







Welcome to the first monthly newsletter from Westwood Tractor Spares. We aim to offer you advice and special offers every month to assist you in maintaining your mower.



The winter is almost officially over for another year and spring is just around the corner. Now is the time to get your tractor in peak condition ready for the first cut of the season. We
only sell genuine Westwood, Snapper and Briggs & Stratton spare parts to ensure your tractor is in peak condition for the season ahead.




Help and Advice








The first thing to do is to give your tractor a good clean with a stiff brush and inspect the deck for rust and corrosion. It is important to then put the battery on charge and put some
fresh petrol in the tank. The oil level must be checked, and with a fully-charged battery, try to start the engine.



If it starts then this is great, but you still need a maintenance plan as there are certain parts that must be changed annually. Please follow this link for an example maintenance plan.



The following items must be changed annually:

• Air filter and pre-filter

• Oil filter

• In line fuel filter (if fitted)

• Spark plug(s)

• Engine oil



All these items are available for a comprehensive range of tractors online now. View More >>





As always, if you need any advice please don't hesitate to send us an email at info@gardentractorspares.co.uk or call us on 01594 542853. Contact Us >>
