In 1961 I was 10 years old and on the way home from school I saw this exact same motor sitting in my neighbors backyard I asked if I could have the engine and he said that if I would stack a cord of wood in his yard. I happily agreed and started stacking, after several days after school I was finally done. I brought my wagon over to his house and brought home my prize. With my dad’s help and several more days of cleaning and working on my first engine came to life. Just putting along with an occasional back fire it was a blast to play with. That my friends was the beginning of my mechanical career as I became mechanic for the rest of my life. Thanks for the memories, I love your KZbin channel and learning all about what you do. I’m 75 years old today and you gave me a great gift, thank you.

You have to have been 12 in 1961, because I was born in 1951 and will be 73 on July 2nd. In 1961 I was 10 years old and was training with my Uncle to be a mechanic (Now technician). Have been a Tech, trainer, and CC instructor, shop owner myself for 57 years now. It has been a fun ride for sure!

Thank YOU for this restoration video! It was fascinating. My grandparents had an old Maytag washing machine in a small room off the kitchen. It had a electric motor and old fashioned clothes wringer. My brother and I were playing with the clothes wringer and almost got our fingers squished! Those things were dangerous! I had no idea Maytag once made a washer driven by a single piston gas motor! I learned something NEW today! Thank You for all your great work to make this wonderful video. I'll bet those old gas motor powered washers must have been great for folks who lived out in the sticks with no electricity!

I took it apart and got it running and have carried it with me since. You have given me the itch to restore it! At 73, I may still have time to get it done. Thank you!

Hey young fella, you’re my age. I’m worn out just watching the video. I grew up on a farm-- no electricity until I was twelve I think. I remember wash day, I just hated it. Heating water on the wood stove and of course the old gas powered washing machine with the hose run out the door so you didn’t get gassed. I know it wasn’t a Maytag, but I can’t for the life of me remember how that engine was started. Ah, the good old days--no thanks!

I must admit that I'm completely amazed by these people restoring old rusted items. This engine is a beautiful example of what I mean. Each and every slotted screw on this engine comes out with either not a lot of torque applied or a fair amount of torque. Hardly ever does the slot get deformed to the point of being useless to remove the screw. I've had screws deform left and right when removing them. I often have to employ a extractor to get them out. I have to be doing something wrong.

Normally I buy junk tools because I'm a home gamer, but there is something to be said for the tolerances on better tools. My harbor freight junk sloshes around in the slot, but I usually work on things that don't matter, so I don't care. I'd care if I was doing this kind of work. But there's also a lot to be said for time, penetrating oil, and a torch too. Put penetrating oil on it every day for a month before you start, and I bet you'll find it easier. Not that I ever have the time or patience to do it.... :)

Still runs and being used tho😅 but we're dreading the day that stops before we got our barn set up to fix him.. Sadly that can take a while 😓😓 (Yes him ... we named him Groundskeeper Willie... we named all our driveble junk 😅). We can't send the engine out to fix him sadly because we lack the 💸💸 So the longer we wait the harder it will be to get replacement parts if not a "new" or replacement engine (would break my heart), where would you find a perkins that old.... 36 and already too old and expensive to hire.

The rural electrification act was passed in 1936 and allowed electric co-operatives to be set up with subsidized loans from the federal govt. The same thing is going on today with the lack of broadband in rural parts of the USA. Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act

It ran hit-or-miss at an idle, but went full bore with a load placed on it. I built several wooden "go-carts" using it for power. Unfortunately, I do not remember where it got away from me due to family moves, etc. Glad I watched the video.

Nicely done restoration - a true artisan at work! Back when I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's, we didn't have cell phones, video games, computers and other electronic wizardry to take up all of our time for hours on end. We picked up old motors like this that no longer worked and fixed them up in 4H class. Today's kids can't even fix their own hair, much less change the oil in their own car. Tinkering with those old mechanical things when I was a kid put the engineering bug in me. Today I work on commercial aircraft engines worth tens of millions of dollars and I STILL love tinkering with old motors like this!

When I was around 11 y.o., (early 60s) I rescued an old Maytag 2-cylinder engine very much like this one. I don't know if the 2-cylinder was any more powerful, but it sure pushed my mini bike around! What Fun!

About a decade ago I was working in an auto parts store and a young kid who was 13 came in looking for a spark plug for this exact machine. It took me forever to find it but find it I did! From the looks of it, it's the exact same autolite spark plug he put in.

If I may offer a tip, the "butterfly" cotter pin technique isn't always the best. If you send one end over the tip of the bolt, the "loop" of the cotter pin locks into the castellated nut, and you can get it much more secure by pulling as you bend. Then you trim the other end short before you bend it down towards the surface. Both the butterfly and over-under techniques are valid depending on the circumstance, but for castellated nuts you usually don't butterfly. This is from a jet engine technician, so you don't think I'm just some moron. Also, I know bending the cotter pin 2 degrees makes it easier to remove, but it's really not secure, especially on things that vibrate like motors. I'd be surprised if those pins holding the foot pedal spring don't come out after running for a short time.

This thing was designed with the cotter pin butterflied, so it obviously doesn't matter. No matter how many modern cotter pins you've fucked up, this one obviously didn't need to be put in differently; and it 100% CERTAINLY needs to be easy to pull apart again, these ENTIRE MACHINES we're designed to be pulled apart again, so any critique of anything that achieved this is obviously due to inexperience related to restoration, because that's the actual discussion we are having. Youd have a point if he was restoring a rocket engine. Because otherwise they would not have sold in 1921, when every other machine bought had utility and lasted a long time. Also, let's keep in mind that this machine was used for 100 years, with the cotter pin butterflied. So obviously your "bet" was lost before you made it I've never understood people who are of a different profession, with slight overlap, attempting to either give advice which is unnecessary, or even downright false information. You should never say "I'm a this" on the internet, because you automatically become a 13 year old boy who wants internet points when you claim your profession; simply say something that can only be said by someone who actually possesses knowledge on a subject. Finally, this is a museum piece. A lot of the restoration done by this dude is for clients who will be either putting them in museum (taking functioning parts off to make them displays, like a foot pedal that operates it for instance, although it's beyond obvious the forces on the cotter pins aren't in the correct direction to matter, and the spring is clearly only as strong as would be necessary to lift the pedal; you can tell by the outrageous number of coils and length of the spring coupled with it's being fairly thin.), Or using it for personal use because their granddad or whoever left it to them in unusable shape. That is to say, this is going to be shipped shortly after this video; and it might not be shipped in assembled condition. In the case of a gas washing machine, i don't think it's going to be getting much use outside of rural Alabama.

I took the beast out on a rented john boat and could have sold the pos half a dozen times. I wish I had because one day I got tired of looking at it and retired it to the dump where it belongs. My mom bought it at a garage sale for 2 dollars. Thought she was doing me a favor.
