Vintage Horizontal Wilesco D-12 live steam engine, grey base (b)
This is a vintage, Horizontal Wilesco D-12 steam engine, refurbished (b). This is the older grey base version. It is also one of the larger bore engines. It is in great operational condition. I tested it and it ran fine. There is plenty of power in this engine. 35/ 9.0 mm brass piston with a 16 mm stroke. This machine is one of the few D-12s that I have seen with all of the original parts. It has the original Smoke stack and safety valve weight both of which are usually lost. I cleaned and resealed the sight glass too. One of my favorite features of this model are the built in oil cups on the flywheel train.
It has two drive pulleys too, one 9mm and one 20 mm. The safety valve /whistle (original old style) works fine. I has a second safety valve too, for extra safety. It also has the original burner tray and a ladder that a previous owner added.
The paint on this one is in good shape too. I also added a bag of Hexamine fuel tablets. In order to expedite your order I go to the post office as soon as it opens the following day. Since they are pre-packed, I cannot combine engines. Note; Sometimes cypress will get a warp to it as it dries. I dry my lumber in a rack for several months, but this is not always enough. When it changes climates from the high humidity of Florida to an area that is prone to have low humidity it can exacerbate this condition. I always position my engine or accessory on the top of the crown, so it should stay level on the intended surface.This seldom happens, but I wanted you to know it is a possibility. Enjoy your stream engine, Ric Dickens.
