Mclean Garden Tractor with Maytag Engine

[@slantfish65sd]

Very very cool sir. Good video too. I've never even heard of these things, but I'm glad you made a video about it. And I never knew anybody used the Maytag engine for anything other than the Maytag washers really inventive

[@betsydonato6817]

I will never forget my Navy Boot Camp ' 5 - 1 Day ' . Anyone in the Navy knows the ' Maytag Washing Machine ' drill. It's an upside down bicycle leg exercise mash up with a " Boo I'm a Catch Edge Ghost " recovery,,,the whole exercise is done under a bed sheet, when the CO says " Recover ", you immediately had to recover, lift the sheet smartly, and shout, " Boo ! - I'm a Catch Edge Ghost ! " , then drop down on the floor after the CO said " Continue ! " - then you drop down on your back as quick as you can upside down bicycling shouting repititiously " I am a Maytag Washing Machine ! - " I work all day and I work all night " ! -

Very interesting, refurbed Maytag on this factory.

Всё новое это хорошо забытое старое. Всё возвращается на круги своя. Слава Богу за всё!!!

[@JeffinTD]

That thing is awesome.

[@GaryT1952]

Never miss your videos, also enjoy your contributions on the Gravely forum.

[@1944johndeerel]

i saw one of those in an old GEM artical and thought those are soo cool. thanks for the wild and crazy ride your not kidding that thing boots along pretty good!

[@calypso22]

Beautiful old tractor. Great sound.

[@805ROADKING]

pretty cool machine!! You're gonna need an Iron Lung when you finish tilling the garden with that thing eh!!

[@robertwhite7894]

Yeah but it is a lot better than doing it by hand

[@RamblinAround]

That's a really cool machine.

[@johnsims5950]

How and where exactly did you attach the rare metals magnet?

[@cattmann1405]

That was Awesome Junko!!!! Thanks for the history lesson!

[@motorwheeler]

That's one the coolest uses of a Maytag I've seen. Now I have to find one...

[@wesfrazier5739]

Seems eager to please

[@amphidory7600]

could you film a tutorial about how to incorporate the rare earth magnet? Thanks.

[@The-Junkologist]

+Nat M Here's the video I made a while back showing how I placed the magnet inside the flywheel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6Kkh5ZpqbeZnsk

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

Never saw this or knew that they ever made this configuration, I like the name though: "Mclean" goes along well with a washing machine engine. Thumbs up!

[@sarahteutsch9374]

It looks beast mode

[@1944johndeerel]

@Cletrac thats a good question. maybe someone will shed some light on that for you. it looks like it could be a good excersize machine just keeping up with it as it scoots along lol. i like it. its neat seeing maytags working like that. you ought to put a pipe on the exaust so it blows smoke rings as you use it. hey can you show what you did with the magnets sometime?

[@The-Junkologist]

@1944johndeerel I'll go out right now and make a little video and show where I placed the magnet.

[@outdoorsman310]

thats a cool machine!

[@MrJSXU]

Can you make a video of you cultivating with that thing?

[@DesertDigger1]

This is some good stuff.

[@sol1234lion]

I have two maytags great hard working engines

[@stephenfestus9268]

Ha ha...you certainly got a work out with that machine. How is it to turn, or does it have ratcheting pawls like in a David Bradley?

[@The-Junkologist]

@1944johndeerel I'm still not sure about the speed yet, but I can't see Mclean changing every pulley out on every engine for a smaller one when they came with a pulley in the first place. I would think they would design the rest of the tractor around it. I think if you were cultivating, the speed would not be that bad and you would finish that much faster.

[@tech270154]

thanks,i enjoy it

[@douro20]

Did the Maytag engine go with the thing when you donated it to the state museum?

[@jdman1930]

first veiwer and liker! You should talk to 805ROADKING about a 72 twin to put on it then you could do some plowing! I'm going to send him this video.

[@followthebakri4814]

Hi, can u please tell me where i can buy this engine from, i like this engine and how much it would cost

[@lannyyeakle8826]

I have a one wheel

[@Matt40andstuff]

I like this a lot, those maytags are actually pretty powerful for the size but you never really see them used in an application where you notice, theyre always just turning something. How do you engage/disengage the drive belt?

[@GaryT1952]

My bad, there is someone who uses the "Cletrac" tag on the Gravely forum, just assumed it was you.

[@The-Junkologist]

@trackdog90 Gladyou enjoy the videos, but you have me confused with someone else on the Gravely forum. I don't belong to any Gravely forums.

[@The-Junkologist]

@trackdog90 I usually go by "junkologist"on most of the forums that I frequent.

[@sarahteutsch9374]

Cool

[@The-Junkologist]

@805ROADKING Typical Maytag...

[@richardvaughn2705]

Pulley ratio makes it too fast. May need to put a tiny pulley on the engine or add a shaft with large pulley belted to engine pulley and small pulley belted to tiller pulley. I think it would stall if you tried to till in hard unbroken ground at this speed.

[@3347861]

That pulley looks oversized compared to stock...

[@slowpokebr549]

Cultivating at a dead run, ha ha ha... Nice machine.
