Yes the WD1 has a smooth hopper, this was also available as an option on the WD2 and they were fitted to a very small number of WD8's.
-
@steamwally ok but i was led to believe that the early wolsleys had smooth hoppers but i know for sure that ruston pts had square hoppers and different castings because they are on google images
-
No I believe the engines came fromm Wolseley with the smooth hopper and blank crankcase cover. They supplied engines to agricultural engineers/dealers so you will see some Wolseleys marked as "VETSAK" and such like, these companies put there own covers on.
-
@steamwally but didnt ruston change the water hopper and a a few more of the castings?
-
@steamwally arrrrr thanks for the help i was quite confused.

Stuart, the engine is a Wolseley WD8, but was sold to Rustons who removed all traces of the engines maker, and then put it on one of their compressor sets for air starting large Ruston diesels.
The WD8 and the ruston PT are pretty much the same engine so it is easy to get confused, but this is still a wd8!

Nice smooth run for this low RPMs.

Thing is that I have a set up like this as well and mine is an original set up with a Ruston pt engine driving a Ruston compressor with a brass plate on base yours on the other hand you have got the original base and compressor but at sometime someone has mounted a wolseley engine in it's place. I have a few pt's and every time I been to ray hooley for dating he has said Ruston and wolseley have nearly the same design but never used each others engine has they had a design of their own.

@tomellis281
I seriously doubt that you have spoken to Ray. I have discussed this set at great length with Ray. And it has also been noted by Patrick Knight in the A-Z of British stationary engines and by David Edginton in both his old and soon to be released new Wolseley book that there was a tiein with Rustons and that they did use each others engines.
