Here is the D21 I bought a couple of months ago finally in video. The pump does leak just a little, but I'm ok with it as it was apart and missing parts when it got here. The second vid is loading right now and I will put it up when it comes. Soon it will have a Jensen 15 to drive as well
edit: here is the second vid, I like this one more

I think those are the best looking Wilescos. Bad timing???

This is because I just posted mine a few minutes before he did. Look at the previous post!! I have my D12 in there as well.
How do you get the video to embed right in the thread post. I can put in the link, but am unsure as to how to do it this way. Its MUCH cooler.

On the screen of the video on youtube, right above video owner edit options box and right under the information box is the 'embed' box. Copy and paste that huge mess right onto here and there it is
Thanks John =)

Those big Wilescos have such a nice hearty thumping note. Reminds me a little of a small outboard purring along.

The resonating thump of a big Wilesco is music to the ears.

That's a cracker!! Love the D21!! Was really enjoying following Reid's progression

Well... hopefully Trapper and i can fill the void. i am going to make a video of the D20 tonight. What really helps it give it the nice strong thump, is 1) bolt it to a board 2) put some kind of a load on it, even a light one. My non-working generator does that pretty well. I was trying to make something with the constructioneer set i have, but it all wobbles too much.
Check out the vid of the D12 in my D21 post. I LOVE the sound that engine has.

Love Reids work as well, but I don't think I'll be cutting in to mine, need to practice on something else first The Jensen 15 was posted on tuesday, so it will get a nice load soon. Looking forward to the D20 vid

The D20 will be up shortly. I do not plan the kind of cutting on the 21 that reid did. Its too pretty to do that. I MIGHT do away with the base, but other than that, the original paint and trim will all remain. That is one of the reasons I spent more money on that engine in the first place. I like the look. That and the shitty water pump
