Running Maytag engine washer for the first time.

This is the first washing in the vintage Maytag washer after making some adjustments and mounting the Engine. Using a 31 engine. According to the model number it was suppose to have a 32 or 33. Needed a bigger stick to put clothes into the wringer, but the smaller one shows the reason you don't use fingers.

Just found the next washer I'm buying for my wife. 😂

I shure am proud of you taking the time to put this out!!! For years I've been trying to explain to people That can't believe that there was a time when there weren't no electrictricity out where we are!! I have a model 72 Maytag engine and a 1918 Delco generator fully functional among others that require explanation!! Because folks just don't know what they're looking at history!! As they gaze in amazement! Thank YOU for helping keep it alive!! GOD BLESS.

[@sandraschutz510]

Thank you glad you enjoyed the video.

[@cowan3395]

I’ve had this washer as my profile photo for the past 6 years. I had no idea that’s how it works…, I love it!!!! Thank you

[@Rickarlss]

Thank you! This was fun. Love the Maytag. I have 2 copper Easy electrics circa 1925.

[@daveyr5462]

[@bluebonnetjasmine969]

Ours was electric. Great washers.

[@richardvaughn2705]

Supposed to put your basket behind the wringer to catch them.

[@arthurhudgens8213]

[@nugrohokun640]

Nice washing machine...but i still love my LG washing machine...

[@jamie66233]

Awesome 👌!!

[@sandraschutz510]

👍

[@rayunseitig6367]

that's the little motor I used to call lil putt put back in the 50's.

[@richardvaughn2705]

Ray Unseitig those maytag engines are probably the most collected engines by hit-n-miss enthusiasts. You can buy them on ebay fully restored for $800.

[@garylee9738]

It’s a model 31 or 32 washer and a model 92 engine.

[@annelisepereira5721]

beautiful maytag brazil thank you kiss

[@hamsidoroff7056]

Wow! Real cool! Uh-h-h!

[@rodrigaofreitas9881]

Imagina o cheiro de óleo 2 tempos depois de lavar muita roupa 😂😂😂😂

[@jesseheilman]

That was an awesome video but that was not the choke that was a fuel valve to the fuel air mixer I thought it was really cool to see somebody wash laundry two thumbs up from me

[@sandraschutz510]

Thanks

[@michaeloram6957]

I got a 1940 Maytag electric is that machine every week you can't beat the Maytag ringers

[@jasongreek2342]

Which clothes are the clean ones? Why, they're the ones that smell like 2 stroke exhaust!

[@rogertycholiz2218]

JasonGreek ~ I am quite surprised that Maytag would make such a noisy, stinky hit-n-miss 2-stroke.

[@rayunseitig6367]

our machine was green porcelain on steel, the motor could run a saw too.

[@ibsoarin]

As you pointed out, your Maytag wringer washer was either a Model 32 or 33. I obtained the following information from the Maytag Collectors Club website: Maytag Model 32 & 33 32 was electric. 33 first model with 72 twin gasoline engine Did your Maytag Model 92 Multi-Motor single cylinder gasoline engine bolt onto the "X" frame without having to drill new holes for the engine? I am asking because I was not aware that a Model 92 would bolt onto the Maytag Model 33 wringer washer frame (which originally had a Maytag Model 72 Multi-Motor twin cylinder gasoline engine). Mark.

I easily counted at least 15 parts that can hurt you or damage the machine.The past was dangerous and expensive.

[@sandraschutz510]

Yes dangerous, my aunt lost the end of her index finger to one of these machines. In a hurry and didn't use the stick to put the clothes threw the ringer.

[@chrisdavis3642]

Your right if you had money back in the day there might have been one of these on the back porch next to a tub with a washboard and another tub on the backside of the wringer to catch your fingers!!

[@Anthony-nr1nd]

😅 this was back when things were made to last forever.

[@abdelkaderelbachir3059]

I was just waiting for her to say we push on the start button but she said the choker and I was like what !!!!? ⊙_⊙ and I thought that modern laundry is hard work

[@fixman88]

'Hard Work' is relative; millions of people around the world still wash their clothes by beating them against rocks by the side of a river.

[@abdelkaderelbachir3059]

@@fixman88 no way you are kidding

[@tommytmt]

Very nice, but what do you do for the rinse cycle?

[@sandraschutz510]

I dont have it set up, but there would be 2 wash tubs on a stand behind the washer with fresh water in one. First ring out in one tub with water. Swish around in the fresh water. Ring out again into second tub and hang on the clothesline.

[@garyingersoll2460]

Iwas wondering if the end of your exhaust pipe is creating too much back pressure... seems like your engine is struggling some...

[@sandraschutz510]

Thanks, I'll check that out.

[@harrisonvc9175]

that's pretty neat! that wouldn't be I-25 behind you is it?

[@sandraschutz510]

Not sure what your asking? The hwy? It's hwy 23

[@cletusspuckler2243]

How many gallons of mix per wash ?

[@303snowmobile]

Never really measured but I say about a half of gallon

[@fastcar1979]

Sounds like the choke is on

[@rogertycholiz2218]

MarkHennessy ~ That's just how a hit-n-miss two stroke sounds. It never sounds just right.

[@Datsun7705]

speed queen still makes good washers just don't buy from LG, Samsung, Whirltag, Kenmore, Frigidaire, and other brand out there and hopefully they will go out of business

[@Deklectic]

The clothes couldn't have gotten that clean back then because the only problem is there is no rinse cycle so essentially a good amount of dirt is left behind.. We've come along way since then..

[@sandraschutz510]

I didn't have it set up, but behind the washer they had two rinse tubs. The clothes fell in one the stir'd with a stick, the off to second tub to be rinsed again and then threw the ringer once more and hung on the wash line to dry.

[@williamplaster571]

Here is the answer:You had a tub of clean water to rinse the clothes in once they were sent through the wringer, then you placed the rinsed clothes in the wringer the second time. The clothes were not as clean as today's multiple rinsed clothing, but it beat the old hand wash board by a mile. Been there, done that.

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

From Chicago or Minnesota or Wisconsin ???!

[@sandraschutz510]

Minnesota 🙂

[@randyhawkins4145]

we washed the dog in a maytag.

[@sandraschutz510]

[@vladimiryakov9502]

Очень крутая штука боюсь представить сколько она будет стоить лет через 10

[@303snowmobile]

Yes, like everything, the prices keep going up.

[@arsipvidioburung7914]

Salam kenal pendatang baru kak

[@NoOnesIdea]

Fake washer. A real one in the US would be with a V8 engine and full of chrome.

[@sandraschutz510]

That would really get the clothes clean. 😁
