     Well, I don't have any videos , but here is some pictures of my newest runner. I believe it to be a D6 Wilesco , which I bought with no boiler off of Ebay. I normally don't care for single acting wobblers, but this one is pretty impressive and powerful , and fun to run . Besides, I got it , along with a Jensen power hammer for a whopping $19.00 . What's not to like about that ? One of the things I have always disliked about the little oscillating engines , is the way their connecting rods just slipped onto the crank pin , with no retaining system. If you will note on mine, I have threaded the crank pin for a 4-40 nut and spaced it with washers for a nice fit. I also added a PMR union to connect the steam pipe.
