I have a 220v Euro version Wilesco D32el. I want to trade for a 110v US version in like, or better condition. My engine is complete and works great on air. I've never had water in it since I got it, so I can't say if the water pump works. It also has a generator on it, but any light has been removed and the wires have been cut. The tach is inop but I'm trying to gather info to fix it. All 4 corners of the main base have been turned up slightly, which I think happened in shipping to me, but it shouldn't be a problem to bend them back straight. There is a bit of scale at the bottom of the sight glass. Whistle works and the safety valve weight is there. If you've got one to trade, let me know, and I'll send pics of mine. I have access to a heavily discounted FedEx account (comparable to regular post but much faster), so can help with shipping if needed.
Thanks,
Lyle Knox

Thanks, Nick. One of my evil-Bay searches popped this up and the seller has posted a thread about it on here, too. Too bad it's a forced sale.

Not sure, but it's a blue base, not grey.

It didn't go for that much when you consider what psantma's engine went for!! This one had a few details needing attention but ... all in all seemed a bargain!1

I know. I missed out because of a family emergency. An extremely small loss in comparison.

It will be a while. Hard to lose someone at only 56 with no warning whatsoever.

Condolences, I just turned 54 and it all makes one undertand his own Mortality. I almost didnt make it past 49 and almost didnt make it past 52 so if nothing else,I know that each day should be lived to the fullest.

Think that line will work with my wife when I want a new "toy"?

There is a lot of truth in that line, you do not know what tomorrow brings. Enjoy life while you are here as once you are gone......

I don't think that would work any better than, "it's a great investment".
