Running an Old Maytag Washing Machine Motor!

[@BiznessWizard]

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.

[@charliewhite9777]

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 !

[@rockhunter6260]

My Grandfather had one mounted on a go kart for us Grand Children.

[@markanthony124]

A first time for me to see one running thanks for sharing

[@qcypointhunter]

So cool and it runs so well . Old motor vids are great . Really enjoy them . Thanks ~ Butch

[@88schwyptrlcar]

That is SOOOO COOL!! I've never seen a motor like that before.

[@stanleydenning]

Cool little motor. Collectors item.

[@dirtywaterjones7232]

I Love these old motor Vids ! Keep 'em coming ! Take Care and Be Safe Bro !

[@dezertdrifter]

Now that is cool! Never new these existed.

[@frankfogliani153]

hi there im frank from perth australia do want to seel the motor

[@frankfogliani153]

sorry frank motor is it for sale [e-mail]

[@johnwade5747]

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.

[@Paleoman52]

Thanks, I'll be sure to add a spring!

[@boa721]

Actually its not.. if it is it will make a clicking noise. I have several single and twin maytags plus a washer

[@SnyderPointMan]

now that's just too cool Ken, thanks for showing.

[@rickcarroll90]

dude that thing is awsome!

[@thermonslaughter4122]

My ol-lady says would love doing her washing with this. If she can't being riding her "HOG" this is the next best thing.

[@123sheepdip]

Thanks for sharing your videos. Daft question. Where's the fuel tank on these?

[@Paleoman52]

The whole bottom is the fuel tank, very unique design. Thanks so much for watching.

[@elyass.k.n5994]

👍👍👍👍👍WOW, very beautiful

[@FlintSpall]

Just awesome.That had to be used outdoors.Could you imagine how that would go over in a house where a group was gathered to watch the super bowl? LOL Never in my life have I seen such.Had no clue.I guess some of us don't remember things like those retirees.LOL

[@rexjolles]

There was a hose you attached to the exhaust

[@CalvinsCorner72]

I have never saw one before, Thanks

[@daryllect6659]

You're missing the return spring and cover for the kick start.

[@Paleoman52]

I know, I can't seem to find one but I am always looking. This was my Dad's so I don't think he had those parts.

[@michaelluciano7774]

Very cool engine

[@loodydookyisnoops]

Awesome engine

[@markdi2]

It would be pretty cool mounted on a three-wheel bicycle

[@jmwnycprr]

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

[@kroakie4]

jmwnycprr, 😂. Your grandpa sounds like he was a character. Lol

[@iversonjcameron]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

[@41Zman]

that spot you put the valve on is actually right where the governor sits

[@NomadicAdventuresEst2010]

yep that is kool, guess those were for the rich folk back-n-the-day lol everybody else had the old wringer, it's always a pleasure to see someone keep things such as that, that's been kept in the family for years & kept running, to bad they don't make car motors simple any more lol

[@dholiday56]

I have one but can only get it to run on one cylinder with one spark plug out grounded to the motor, any help. Thanks

[@Paleoman52]

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.

[@annelisepereira5721]

beautiful maytag brazil

[@markdi2]

So approximately what is the horsepower rating ?

[@Paleoman52]

About 5/8 Hp

[@dougolgreybearddinowoodydu1845]

Love them old machines especially when someone's got them back up & running 😁😊😀. Keep up the👍 work👍. stay safe keep warm have fun and whittle to keep your sanity ol greybeard dino ; - ) >

[@boa721]

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

[@Paleoman52]

Thanks! I had no idea when this engine was made and used. I appreciate the correction.

[@ryanramos5438]

you think you can turn it into a belt grinder?

[@alexisdeville3605]

The correct gas to oil is 16 : 1

[@rockheadOH]

Now that's cool Buddy ! Cool to see ya messing with these old engines. I guess the high speed is for the spin cycle...LOL JK.

[@nazimsheikh5033]

IS IT NEED FUEL??

[@KowboyUSA]

Awesome, Can't you put a alternator on it and charge batteries!

[@ShanesWorld1978]

That is cool never new they had gas powered washing machines that's cool man. Now put it on the back of a go cart how fast you think it would go lol.

[@michaelcustodero9412]

I'm sorry lmao but did anyone else see the subtitles in the video!? Lol "nigga just imagine ah lady generated or walk went out going up the little motor" omg I pissed myself 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

Que combustivel é usado no motor maytag

[@evandrozonzini2151]

Fantástico.

[@martinblouin3639]

[@ericwilson2585]

I wonder if when even after washing your clothes they would still smell like 2-stroke exhaust smoke.

[@larrycjost9388]

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.

[@jeffhammers5677]

Why don't you
