Kevin already does some small engines in the ATV's and go carts etc, but I would love to see him get more utilitarian and practical with less focus on toys, and more on putting antiques to real, practical use such as 2 stroke Lawn Boy mowers. Mustie1 in New Hampshire might have that market pretty well covered though, and Shop Kat Industries in Alberta.
It would have had a long flexible exhaust pipe attached to the exhaust flange. Grandma would roll it into the kitchen, toss the hose out the window or back door and do the wash in the heat of the wood fired cook stove.
As someone who has actually seen one of these old maytags function, I can honestly say you would never complain about any washing machine made within the past 40 years or so after using one.
I'm sure they didn't fall apart like today's washing machines. Maytags are still some of the most reliable but nothing holds a candle to the old stuff.
@@wkat950 We have replaced the fridge in the house 6 times since it was built in the 70's, the old fridge that my great grandma bought in the 60's thats in my garage still works as new today without ever being worked on. Literally bulletproof. The new stuff drops dead. We had a maytag washing machine that rusted out in 5 years literally the paint flaked off and it rusted through. Thats how bad the quality is now
@@wkat950 Funny you should say that, I just had to replace the motor control board in a friends 10 year old Maytag. Nothing is as reliable as it use to be, because nothing is as simple as it use to be. It's both a curse and a blessing of modern technology.
@@pilsplease7561 Honestly, you buy crap you get crap. I spend time finding out what works well and what doesn't. All the information is at your fingertips. Take some time to figure out how to know the honest reviews from the BS and take some time to lookup information and talk to the people who fix the machines, and you won't have that problem. Too many people either just give up and resign themselves to stuff being garbage, or don't actually take care of anything and complain that it breaks.
On the small engine stuff, it is honestly a big part of Mustie1's success - it is more immediately helpful and relatable on an average day. Don't mistake me, enjoy the heck out of the various auto first starts, but the small engine stuff is super useful. I say add the small engine stuff into your rotation.
Mustie . The guy that breaks bolts only to find out later it was left hand threads . And never tightens spark plugs past finger tight . Taryl Fixes All is the videos to watch .Tech plus humor .
@@acconboy well I know personally he never turns down fans stopping by his shop or complains about his fans doing so . I met him a year ago and have been friends with him since. Not to mention the fact he looks things up before he "tears " into them and ruins something.
@@jefffindley5870 Mustie has great content and taught me aarge portion of what I know. Because of him I've bought dozens upon dozens of mowers/tillers/pocket bikes/ride on mowers/leaf blowers/quads/dirt bikes/snow blowers/etc and have put thousands of dollars in my pocket all just from spare time. Bought myself my own quad, trialed, dirt bike, and a quad for my daughter with the extra money.
I freaking love this oddball content stuff! I live in a junk filled community where the majority of salvageable vehicles have already been claimed, so seeing this kind of stuff is super inspiring\encouraging.
Totally agree on your sentiments about hit and miss engines. Love watching those things work. Some of the old pump jacks around my area still have operating hit and miss engines. Still running and doing what they were designed to do all these years later.
Just so you know or to anyone working or looking at one of these motors, if you spin it over and the spark plug wires aren't grounded or connected to a plug that's grounded, you'll fry the coil. Also they take a 16:1 fuel mix of straight SAE30 non detergent, should be smoking more
@@linkgroundwalker For these old engines modern 2 stroke oil just doesn't work as well. I don't know the specifics but everyone who's into these old engines I've talked to says the same thing- only use SAE-30 non detergent
Yeah you can run them how you wish. I’m just stating if you buy a good quality 2-stroke oil it’s much better. They have to be so the new stuff can be run lean and meet EPA regs. In the end though if you feel safer doing it one way and it works do it.
@@linkgroundwalker It's definitely much higher quality oil now, but from what I've heard from the antique engine scene, the modern stuff just doesn't work as well for the antiques. I forget the specifics but I've definitely heard stories of premature wear caused by modern oils.
@@radracer2033 Yep . But at this point he already turned a $ 200 engine into $ 2.00 worth of scrap by breaking the end of the crank off . Mustie1like .
I have a long time friend that has found those in junk yards and bought them and restored them to mint condition. He loves working on small engines. He has sold many of them. It's so friggin awesome to watch you get it running. 👍👍
Now THAT was awesome! I remember seeing on of these setting in my grandpa's parts garage as a kid. He was a WW2 vet and simple country boy and kept everything!
Port the exhaust outside, run a belt to an alternator and you have a small engine battery charger - it might not be all that practical but it sure as heck would be a very cool conversational piece
Definitely would be a good alternative to needing to carry batteries from a project to a charger. Even better than charging batteries with a working vehicle since it probably burns less fuel and doesn’t put hours on a good vehicle.
If it got pistons or crankshaft then I love seeing life being breathed back into it. don't kick over engines by hand tho cos ( if it kicks back might snap your wrist clean in half )
I think you was chosen to be the touch that ol small engine needed. We definitely like learning with you about anything old school.. You are the tlc manager on RUclips 💯💪🙃 for the forgotten history.
Now that is very cool. It still amazes me on some of these older motors, the engineering that went into them, and the fact that they still work today almost as good as when they were first made. Can't say that about a lot of today's stuff that is made. Keep these types of videos coming.
This was definitely cool to watch. Never heard of or seen one of these engines before. Some Hit and Miss engine content or old farm implement repair would be enjoyable too.
I agree. I am pretty handy as a plumber and can dabble with simple mechanics (it is easier to take apart than to put back together), I actually understood this little engine.
My grandparents house had the exhaust port thru the wall for a gas maytag. I'm glad to see the small engine vids. Between yours and Hand tool rescue , I'm happy to see em running again
It’s a Venturi effect with a check valve and an adjustable air baffle. Thermosyphon refers to temperature and cooling systems that don’t utilize a water pump.
There’s another really good video of a rescue of one of these on Hand Tool Rescue. He got hold of a complete washer unit and redid the tub as well. To see one of these washing clothes is mind bottling. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you for another video!!!!! I hope you know how much we(general public) truly appreciate what you do and the knowledge you share with the world. Keep up the great work! 👍
Glad to see & know you & Mook are alright. I was worried something happened. When I first saw the motor, I thought that those were exhaust ports too. Would love to see more small engine stuff. Such a simple starter.
Mook , you should be proud . You’ve caused celebration for women whom , after learning to operate and service these marvels which no doubt made women’s lives easier ( somewhat ) and made them ready to serve their country building and contributing to the war effort during WW 2 . I applaud you ma’am . Your service and recognition shall not go unnoticed . Your hard work and toil shall be remembered which is more than can be said of women who are supposed to be championing for women in this era . Thank you for your tireless effort and dedication . There will be something extra in your next check . Well , I had fun .
This was awesome I love old stuff and work on a lot of small engines myself. Just got a old snapper running again that's been sitting for a good while. Cleaned tank sanded the Magneto reset the gap on that blowed out a thousand acorns from rats put back together fired first pull. Crazy how old stuff just hard to kill. Keep on doing what y'all do and stay safe out there
Kevin, this was brilliant. Honestly, you guys could film making a turkey sandwich and we'd all still enjoy watching. Its your passion and personalities that keep us hooked. Great vid guys x
Seeing those old refrigerator and washing motors brings back memories of tinkering on them with my grandpa. Keep showing the old stuff with the revivals. And the "hit & miss" motors are the coolest
The fact mook now has the burnt nova makes me both excited for content and even more scared for everyone in the local area. That right there is going to be some good content
Im 62 I've never seen one of these but I remember a little rascals episode where they were looking for a washing machine to power their go cart. This was a very cool episode thanks!
The fact that you can get a small motor to start that was made decades ago, shows the quality of craftsmanship. Lucky now if you can have a small motor from China start a year from now if not used.
Yes, definitely do more vintage engine stuff. Don’t sweat the crank. You can find one on eBay. When it comes to vintage engine parts eBay is your friend. 👍
Well digs its like this i dont know any car lover that doesnt love antique motors too If i had space id have one or a dozen of them old motors too thanks for cool and fun videop
Cool video thanks for sharing. Tell Mook I have the T shirt 👕 i order from you guys. Thanks.. Kevin with that little motor some one could put it in an old washer machine like a Maytag washer. LoL
YES, I for one do enjoy the change up of reviving cars and trucks to small rare miscellaneous motors that I'm unfamiliar with. Keeps me very entertained and as usual I love the savvy and creative ways you bring those motors and or vehicles back to life. Keep up the great vids!!!
This is cool. Maytag originally used gasoline engines for their washing machines, so seeing one that's not still in a washer housing is pretty neat. Thanks for sharing this!
That must have been on a 'heavy duty' ringer washer. Most of those old units were of the single cylinder variety. Yep, back in the day before [President] FDR's 'WPA' rural electrification Act brought electric power to the interior and farmlands of this country, 'new fangled' household conveniences, like washing machines, were run by gasoline powered engines. Definitely hang onto that one, maybe even mount it on some nice wood and repaint it for display of historical artifact!
Wow the paint is coming out amazing on that burnt nova that Mook is Pressure washing wasn't expecting the paint to come out that nice after the fire it was in @8:02 @Junkyard Digs @Junkyard Mook
I love the mixed type of content you guys are putting out. I've learned that no matter what the engine, the process and fundamentals are always the same. I can't wait to see the Nova on Mook's channel.
I for one enjoy this kind of video. Engines like this are part of the history of power motors and what it took to get us where we are today. Oh yea I forgot, You're weird.
Nah Kevin, it doesn't always have to be a full blow car revival. This is still a mechanical part and you are reviving it! Love the oddball content! Keep them coming!
Definately love this. The underside of the piston acts as a pump, going to top its suck up air that takes fuel with it. Going down there is a sort of non return. Builds up pressure and when the piston is under the inlet port it flows into the cylinder. Next one the red engine and donate that one to candc for a project please.
That would look cool painted and on a table. The logic for file vs sandpaper is that sandpaper can leave little bits of grit on the contacts which is a big deal on commutators but for contact points? I dunno
Great to see you working on small antique engines. Take a crack at the Wisconsin engine next. We had 2 of them on the farm. 1 ran a log splitter and the other a grain auger. I think they were 10hp
I used to have a neighbor who restored hit and miss engines as a hobby. He had a complete Maytag washer with a single cylinder engine also from the 1940's, that he would use to wash his shop rags.
Big fan of the small engine stuff. Love the cars as well, especially the obscure stuff, but the small engine stuff is also very interesting and useful. And it's neat to see oldschool stuff like this Maytag. I'd LOVE to see you do an old hit/miss engine!
That’s a later 677 cc Wisconsin AHH engine with 9.2 hp instead of 7.2 because of the 1/8 inch larger bore. Yes I do enjoy these smaller engine videos as well as the car revivals.
Small engines aren’t that cool but special engines like this one is. That engine is basically indestructible. There are no parts or gaskets to wear out other than the points and condenser.
@@MrBanaanipommi that's something I neglected to include in my comment, simplicity. I have a 2020 chevy colorado. It can seamlessly drop from 6 to 4 cylinders to improve mpg. I average about 20 mpg. I had an 88 caprice with a v6 that got near 30mpg. Complicated is rarely a great thing
That needs to be fitted to a go cart or bike just for entertainment value , nice to see Mook give you a hug rather than just throw things at you . Unfortunately in the UK chances of finding a real barn find are rare but these small engines could be laying around in sheds and garages just waiting for someone to bring them back to life. Enjoy all your content large or small
I would like to see a REAL junkyard dig. That means JJD and JJM going to a junkyard with a bunch of tools and find a vehicle and get it running.. ONLY using parts scavenged from said yunkyard... That would be a cool challenge :p
Good job. I used to work on these . I has a brass governer in the crank shaft to control the speed. These were 3/4 hp. any rural homemaker would swear by them as well as at them. monday was wash day. My dad made me a mower out of one.
Great stuff! It's funny how this pops up right after getting my chainsaw running after a 4 year hibernation. I wonder how long this thing will run on a full tank? Keep the small engine revivals coming whenever you can!
Loved the small engine vid! I have a mower salvage yard with about 400 pieces, with about 100 pre-70s mowers, tractors, etc, up to stuff that's a year or two old. This would be the oldest small engine I'd have ever worked on, that's great that the magneto and condensor were still good. Awesome job, keep the small engine First Starts coming!
Loved this revival, mount that sucker on a frame with a belt and a car alternator and you can charge batteries or power 12V stuff when the electricity is out.
You can still get parts for those old Maytag engines. They have the spring to return the foot pedal start and the mufflers where really cool looking beehive shaped. Godspeed, great video
Definitely enjoying the small engine content. Cant wait to see more!
Yh 🐕
Hells yeah, keep em coming.
Yes. Very cool.

Small engines aren’t that cool but special engines like this one is. That engine is basically indestructible. There are no parts or gaskets to wear out other than the points and condenser.
It says something of the engineering of these old relics. All worth salvaging and worthy of respect
@@maggs131 yep, all todays stuff are way too complex shit. thats why they break and even very hard to fix or find the ´fix on them..
@@MrBanaanipommi that's something I neglected to include in my comment, simplicity. I have a 2020 chevy colorado. It can seamlessly drop from 6 to 4 cylinders to improve mpg. I average about 20 mpg. I had an 88 caprice with a v6 that got near 30mpg. Complicated is rarely a great thing
That needs to be fitted to a go cart or bike just for entertainment value , nice to see Mook give you a hug rather than just throw things at you . Unfortunately in the UK chances of finding a real barn find are rare but these small engines could be laying around in sheds and garages just waiting for someone to bring them back to life. Enjoy all your content large or small
Crazy. I used to have one of the old single cylinder 5/8 hp Maytag engines. And now I got one of those twins. Love classic Maytag engines
I'd love to see you get that Wisconsin going
Can’t wait to see more of this obscure/small engine content 👍
Maytag first start in decades? I thought this was going to be him trying to talk Mook into doing some laundry 😂
I love old small engines they’re so simple and easy to work on and troubleshoot and not so temperamental like new engines, love the video
"Son of a oh Jesus" and "I just got shocked I'm fine", are good. I like the small engine videos in-between the larger rescues and revivals.
I would like to see a REAL junkyard dig. That means JJD and JJM going to a junkyard with a bunch of tools and find a vehicle and get it running.. ONLY using parts scavenged from said yunkyard...
That would be a cool challenge :p
Actually, get a few youtubers, they all go after a car get it running, then have a race after
I agree, that would be some awesome content!
@@bruwin There was a show called Junkyard Wars on for years like that. IIRC some Iowa farm boy brothers won their share of competitions.
They pretty much did that with the 1979 Bronco, they even scavenged some parts off another 1970s Ford truck to get it going.
@@VSigma725 that’s true, I just wish it could have actually made the road trip home lol
Hell as long as your doing what you love to do I will watch it my friend . Keep up the awesome work you do, Heckers !!
I liked this content it’s interesting seeing things I’ve never seen before, I also like watching rebuilds of old belt drive motorcycles.
This is great additional content. Still broadly on topic and compelling enough that it keeps it interesting. Adds a bit of variety.
Good job. I used to work on these . I has a brass governer in the crank shaft to control the speed. These were 3/4 hp. any rural homemaker would swear by them as well as at them. monday was wash day. My dad made me a mower out of one.
That was an awesome look into the past. The simplicity of that compared to the over engineered stuff today. 👍🏼
I like the small engine content as well. Always glad to see more, especially weird old stuff I'm not likely to come across haha.
Probably a lot of that stuff hidden away in Iowa barns.
Great stuff! It's funny how this pops up right after getting my chainsaw running after a 4 year hibernation. I wonder how long this thing will run on a full tank?
Keep the small engine revivals coming whenever you can!
Loved the small engine vid! I have a mower salvage yard with about 400 pieces, with about 100 pre-70s mowers, tractors, etc, up to stuff that's a year or two old. This would be the oldest small engine I'd have ever worked on, that's great that the magneto and condensor were still good. Awesome job, keep the small engine First Starts coming!
Kevin, the small engine stuff is awesome. I love seeing the odd setups and dead-end evolutions from back in the day.
This was a great video. Definitely would love to see some more small engine revivals
Would love to see that Wisconsin on a go kart just to mess with the cars and cameras guys.
Runs like a washing machine. LOL. I enjoy seeing how different old engines worked it's something different keep it up.
Very good for the show , plus our family members are happy to see it running ,
PJb see you show
It is nice to see an old small engine come back to life, I do enjoy all the different stuff you work on,
At moments it felt like I was watching a Mustie1 video, love the small engine content!
Yea, only thing missing is they didn't mount it in an old bicycle.
Loved this revival, mount that sucker on a frame with a belt and a car alternator and you can charge batteries or power 12V stuff when the electricity is out.
You should put that in a Beatle. It probably has more HP then the factory engine anyways
or any chevy
I recommend Ringo.
you should be drifting beetles instead of FCs dude
You can still get parts for those old Maytag engines. They have the spring to return the foot pedal start and the mufflers where really cool looking beehive shaped. Godspeed, great video
I love any content y’all put out man! From small engines, to badass barn finds, I love it!
