    I grew up in N.E. Ohio close to an Amish community. My brothers and I would travel there and pick up broken Maytag washing machine engines. We would repair them and use them on go carts we made. Great little smooth running engines.

    Grampa left me this exact model, haven't heard it running yet. 12 years of collecting dust. Think I know what the next project is...
    Thanks for the inspiration. Think I'll make a can crusher attachment !

    I'm sure you know that while the kicker is down,the starter clutch is wearing. You need a screen door spring. Thats a sweet little motor.

    That's neater than hell. If they washed in the basement did they run a pipe off the exhaust to the outside? My grandpa used to say " I ain't had this much fun since mom got her tit caught in the wringer " lol

    • @Paleoman52
      @Paleoman52  5 років тому

      I wish I could be more helpful. I never had to pull the flywheel off this motor so I'm not sure how the coil is set up. Try putting new wires on if possible, that might help.

    1937 was the 1st year production of the twin cylinder maytag... not the twenties as you say. Just fyi

    I am glad we don't wash with gasoline powered Maytag washing machines. I shudder to think what we would happen to the air quality on a Saturday wash day in suburbia if everyone did wash this way. Electric much better

  • @eyeballll

    I wish someone would upload a video of the old Maytag running and just shut the hell up and let the motor do the talking.
