I have to say, you must be the only person I watch who loves to collect, restore and bring back old ride on mowers, especially westwoods, it’s awesome to see 😃 I congratulate you for that 👏 I hope you have an enjoyable Christmas and a very happy new year🎉 Keep up the great work👍
I appreciate that fly wheel is cast, but in future you could try putting a squeeze on the puller and shocking the flywheel with either a mallet or a piece of wood. As long as you don’t belt it with a metal hammer, it should be fine. It’s something I often have to do in work if something cast is seized solid.
Hey man, always love your no nonsense videos about something that I will probably never do. Or so I thought until the 4 stroke leaf vacuum we have at work wouldn’t start and my absorbed basic knowledge of small petrol engines saved the day! Thank you so much for your content and soothing tones 😆
These Lombardini (and clones) are notorious for sticking fuel rod causing no fuel. Check the movement of the fuel rod and lubricate and ensure it moves smootly when you manipulate the throttle lever. Looking forward to part 2.
If you put the pulley puller back on and tighten fairly tight without bending the tool, remove the socket wrench then smack it on the top where you tighten it with your socket wrench with a hammer it should just pop off🎉
Always love your videos mate, they're so inspiring and help me to get motivation to get out to the shed and tinker with my mowers. I'm pretty surprised that the diesel motor sounds pretty similar to a petrol one! I'm also curious as to why you never show your face? Anyway keep up the great work, you're bloody good at what you do!
I always weld the nuts on my own air filters, stops them rattling loose and needing to tighten the nut and no real reason to need to ever fiddle with the filter.
Always enjoy the work you put into these videos. Have a good Christmas! Just an FYI - Those Lombardini engines are tricky to get parts for now. I've been looking for ages for parts, and ended up going with a new engine. The other thing to consider is a hand primer. A lot of these small diesels (Hatz in particular) don't have any way of priming the fuel system apart from a hand pump fitted in the fuel line. The one I had on my Hatz powered Stiga perished and i never replaced it. It's been a pain ever since to bleed when changing filters.
The seal is Lombardini 1210.092 / Kohler ED0012100920-S It's 38x52x8 mm CLOCKWISE rotation and made of ACM It seems only Glaser (Dana) makes that size 8 mm thick and for clockwise rotation: P76126-01 The cheapest alternative seems to be a Febi Bilstein 26372 38x52x7 CLOCKWISE rotation and made of FPM, used by many Ford Fiesta models, for some reason the equivalents from other brands are only 6 mm thick and more expensive.
Ar 7:15, that junk at the bottom is most likely, from crappy Ethanol fuel! I'd ultrasonic that whole carb. in Simply Green. It WON'T run correctly until you do.
With the diesel pump issue, if you take the pump out, what there should be is a two pronged fork that meshes into a small shaft on the side of the pump. That’s the throttle. If you don’t see that fork then wriggle the throttle shaft on the side of the engine a bit and you should see it. At least that’s the case in the two single cylinder vertical shaft diesels that I have. Yours could be different.
Dude make sure you have put power to the engine cut off, if it's like a normal Diesel engine it will need power to open the engine kill, have a good Christmas and happy new year fella
I've found the best way to get the old needle seal out is to blow the air nozzle into the inlet. Shoots right out. Helps to hold a hand over it so it doesn't fly out too far.
Thank you for another year of great videos Daggerwin. Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much, that's very generous of you!!! :) Merry Christmas
It's nice to see these old pieces of equipment being brought back to life. I'll be waiting for part 2. Happy Holidays!

Keep up the great work👍
Clicked so fast on upload notification! Two things happening in one video!! When you upload it makes the day legendary!!!
The good thing about using a small diesel engine; you can use old oil & brake fluid.
NOT BRAKE FLUID, but yes filtered old motor oil is fine.
@@jdman1930 I thought that old oil was a bit too thick, & needed to be thinned down
@@nitt3rz it's a good idea to thin it with some gasoline but brake fluid is alcohol based and bad for the fuel system.
@@jdman1930 I learn something new everyday
😅😅
I think it’s pretty likely the engine was scrap, with a faulty fuel pump, so he abandoned the project.

Man thank you for everything, I found my love of engines here and have rebuilt several pressure washers and lawnmowers on the property thanks to you.
When is the part 2 going to be coming cant wait to see the diesel on it
Well.. “It ran when parked” or, “It ran the last time I used it” and then there is the always subjective “Very ‘clean’ unit”
When's part 2
I want part 2 please machinary restorer

why the diesel swap?

I keep watching old mowers used as off road vehicles and ones about the chicom diesel replacements and wanting to combine the two. Great video
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Love your videos, looking forward to part 2 on this, Merry Christmas 🎄🎁👍

Excellent, looking forward to this engine changeout!
Hi what did you use in the squirt bottle to degrease the chassis and mounting plate looked to work well ?
Hi i sent you an e-mail. I am restoring identical diesel engine from my Westwood and i need some help and information.
I always weld the nuts on my own air filters, stops them rattling loose and needing to tighten the nut and no real reason to need to ever fiddle with the filter.
As you have no fuel from the injection pump have you checked it's set in the run position
Merry Christmas
Looking forward to part 2
Now I wish we got a Diesel mower like this in North America.
Always enjoy the work you put into these videos. Have a good Christmas!

12v primer pumps solve all those problems.
Now you put this one out a month ago did you do part two yet? Did you hook up the diesel engine?
More atv 😎 please restore it thanks for giving me hours of entertainment
As an italian i can say that a lombardini is the best diesel you can find.
The seal is Lombardini 1210.092 / Kohler ED0012100920-S
It's 38x52x8 mm CLOCKWISE rotation and made of ACM
It seems only Glaser (Dana) makes that size 8 mm thick and for clockwise rotation: P76126-01
The cheapest alternative seems to be a Febi Bilstein 26372 38x52x7 CLOCKWISE rotation and made of FPM, used by many Ford Fiesta models, for some reason the equivalents from other brands are only 6 mm thick and more expensive.
Thank you for the Christmas present.

Forget your torque mumbo-jumbo. That is BS.
The only important number is HP, the rest is gearing.
Hey Daggerwin, I know it's a bit far from the topic of the channel, but you could try a renovation of a 125cc 2-stroke kart sometime
Very nice 👍
I want part two please machinery restorer
Nice swap job going from gas diesel
Diesels... always like to be awkward. hope you have a good christmas and new year DW/MR
Really good video can you run e85 in small engines. What part of England are you in thank you very much
Awesome project really enjoy your content,looking forward to the next one. Wishing you a Merry Christmas from Massachusetts.

Those kind of remind me of the old sears tractors over here in the US
Also do they change the front pulley on the diesel machines? They don't spin the same rpm so not sure
Hi did you get the diesel engine to run
T
you should write the date on your note too
Great video! Awesome project! Merry and Blessed Christmas to you!! :)
I like the metal welded onto the muffler.
They poked holes afterwards in it, too. But it works.😂
Brilliant conversion project.
I have that same boost pack, they're really good.
Dude make sure you have put power to the engine cut off, if it's like a normal Diesel engine it will need power to open the engine kill, have a good Christmas and happy new year fella
Lombardini is an Italian engine. Thank you very much for your work.
Whair did you get the engine.
what happens with part 2😃😃
3 months no part 2 yet?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours 🎄
I have one of those lombadini engines. Mine is awful hard to start
I've found the best way to get the old needle seal out is to blow the air nozzle into the inlet. Shoots right out. Helps to hold a hand over it so it doesn't fly out too far.
I want part two please
Where is part 2 at
did you hold the throttle wide open when you were cranking it though?
Happy new year 2024
What a lovely Christmas present to get that going
Happy New Year
Do you have another channel where you use a wood lathe ?
ahh you wanna run it on red diesel
It's hard to get red diesel unless you're a farmer
Merry Christmas and happy New Year
Thanks!
Yes i love ur westwood videos ive got 8 my self
Happy Christmas, cheers.
Could you put a pto to run a mulcher.
