Unused since   he's owned it, we suspect it had last been steamed some time around 2003 -   possibly only to test it, as the paintwork is in excellent order, mechanically   it runs like new and the tyres appear never to have run on the road.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e    Welded steel boiler with expanded tubes, 100psi working pressure, feed by   injector and mechanical pump - the injector is, unusually, a lifting type which   takes a little getting used to with steam coming from the overflow until it   pulls the water up from the tender beneath. Once primed it works dead reliably,   just put the steam on and it's away - being o nthe footplate, in the driver's   sight, it's easy to see it working. Twin safety valves, mechanical lubricator   mounted on the cylinder block. Cast iron cylinder with slide valve actuated by   Stephenson's gear - the engine runs well in both directions and notches up   nicely.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e    Three shaft, two speed transmission with differential, winch behind nearside   rear wheel, rubber tyres.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e    The engine has had ultrasonic and hydraulic test - the boiler is in the same   condition as the rest of the engine.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ciframe width=\"353\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ANMHZERmxCk?si=pc9gFL8T-O6v186k\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019063906645,"sku":"7003","price":21500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7003-1.webp?v=1779901481","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/6-inch-scale-ruston-proctor-sd-steam-tractor-stock-code-7003","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
