Wolseley WD 8

Here is what I collected this morning!!! I have owned it for many many years but it has been on loan to a local museum to which I found out it had been left outside for a long time, so I went and took it back!!!!

Nice isn't it, when you lend out something and it's not looked after.

It was running few years back, unfortunately they've also lost the starting handle!!  anyone got a spare???  but hopefully after I get Lawn Ranger done I will get started on this,, (unless a tempting offer comes along)  lol

oooh i sure do like these engines, handy for making breakfast and lunch at shows, just get the water nice 'n hot and pop in a can of beans and you're ready to eat in a few minutes

Great little engine, I had one of the earlier WD2 models and it ran as sweet as the proverbial nut !!

 

Don't sell it, hopefully a handle will come to light

sad day when this kind of thing happens. people wonder why collectors don't want to bring out there stuff, all you have to do is share this story. Glad you got it back into better hands.

I also like those 'Pot Boilers' as well, never had one . Look's a good project and good news that Chris has 'A Handle on it'  

[the showman 4,074]

Had another look at the handle and it still looks an inch and a half to me

Fantastic Bud,, I will PM you,, Many thanks

It's a shame the museum saw fit to leave it outside Kenny, but at least it looks like you have hit the jackpot with a starting handle   

[the showman 4,074]

had another look at the handle Kenny, found a socket that's inch and haft and tried it in the handle and its a good fit
