👻We used to have a John Deere two blocks away from my house ito hang out there if u were a few blocks from my house I'd be hanging out at your place everyday you seem like one cool dude😃🌎✌
I spit my drink out when you said get the chips out John and Ponch.
Back when they took pride and made a quality product that would last more than a lifetime !!! Everything about that motor is superior quality !!!
I bet you won't find "China" anywhere on that machine. Lolol I hope you mixed that dinosaur juice at about 24-1 and did not use your 50-1 mix lololol.
New washing machines only for 4 years or so.
My dad worked on these engines at Maytag. He told me they was a very good engine. The consumer would put the wrong spark plugs in. Also put oil in the gas tank instead of gas. My dad was one of about 50 guys that worked on repairing these engines back in the late 30’s - 50’s.
We built a go-cart with a washer machine engine on it back in the 70s it was gutless it barley carried one person at a crawl but hey we were o lying like 13 when we did it. Welded the frame and everything. Man I miss being a kid. Without a care in the world just having fun playing a round. 😊
Yep, so true. Being a kid today is dangerous stuff. Always trying to figure out what you want to be today, a boy or a girl, or both!!!
The pipe plug is to access the governor within the crankshaft for rpm adjustment.
I'm 80, and in the late 40s, when I was a kid, living on my grandparent's farm, there was no power. I can still remember what a big deal it was when my grandmother got her propane powered fridge. I have seen quite a few single cylinder Maytag engines, but I was not aware they made a twin cylinder verson.
The fridge a probably a Servel.
Just imagine the looks you’ll get if you go into an auto parts store and ask for spark plugs for your washing machine….
@@RaysLaughsAndLyrics 😂😂😂
I get them all the time. I have a Maytag 31.
😃😃😃😃
for the 82 and 92 its 3095 and twin is 216 or 218 the uprights r the same as the 82 and 92
Lol
The single cylinder Maytags are fun too! The singles are hit and miss governed. Taryl, that pickup tube originally had a fine mesh screen on the bottom of it.
This is one of the coolest engines you've had here
Thanks for the Highlight means a lot to me man
These engines have phospher bronze bushings on the rod s and crank journal. 16:1 or 24:1 mix is recommended
Taryl learned Karate today. "Pound da hammer" then "Sand the points"
The white wringer Maytag washers were a piece of mechanical art.
Unless you had to run one, then hang the wet clothes, as well as towels/ bedding of eight children, two parents and three boarders. Auto wash and dry was a god send .
@@RaysLaughsAndLyrics I repaired them. The inner working of the wringer head are a marvel. Yes ,Yes the dryer is a time and labor saver.
Very nice equipment out on the farm with no electricity.
Good to know I'm not the only one that would forget to cut out the hole for the gas. I really love those old engines, and Terryl getting them running again. Thank you Terryl!
I would have used Permatex
Taryl thanks for your time on repairing this engine. Really enjoy seeing them come to life!
As an old appliance repairman, I believe these used a lot longer than 52. I colder climates Alaska, northern Canada they are still used. The newer washers never drained completely and the pumps would freeze, the fill valves would freeze and bust. These old ringers were filled with a bucket a garden hose. The drain you just laid it on the ground and would drain completely is my understanding.
I am 80 years old, and when a youngster I saw a MayTag washing machine engine being used to operate a old water well pump.When the water tank needed filling some one in the house hold would start the engine and fill the holding tank.
When I was a kid, we'd go to Nebraska to my Grandparents' farm. They had a Maytag wringer machine out on the mud porch, which by then, Grandpa had installed an electric motor.
Back in '04, my brother and I took a motorcycle trip, retracing our summer trips to visit our grandparents in New Mexico and Nebraska. The farm had been sold, and my (no deceased) Uncle and Aunt who took it over from my grandparents, had moved into town. We went to see them, and Uncle Ted took us out to the garage, where my cousin had restored the washing machine, and had the original engine sitting on the work bench, completely overhauled and restored, waiting to be installed on the washing machine.
Cool stuff!
I worked on many of these old Maytag engines when I was a Teenager including those 2 Cylinder boxer engines and that was back in the early 70's,.. So nothing new to me. The 2 banger did run a lot smoother than the 1 Cyl did. That knob by the kickstarter is the throttle itself😉. Thanks for the memories though Taryl.
When I was a GM mechanic I was the only guy to engines, I rebuilt or replaced tons of them, and if we didn't have a gasket for whatever I was installing I would use the thin ac-delco box it came in,
Never had a leak come back🤓
Fantastic as usual!
Love how you don’t skip steps, even the small things (I.e. gasket error, multiple spark tests, etc.).
No other channel does it to this extent!
Hope to see you again at the tractor show?
That motor is a thing of beauty! Thanks for getting it running. So compact, and the castings are such quality!
Got 5 years on you Taryl, I am 67 and grew up the same way you did !! Mini bikes, go carts etc. You make me feel like a kid again !!!
Thanks Taryl, John
Amazing stuff, Taryl!!! Thanks for sharing, almost 100 years old and still kickin' ass and takin' names!!!! Think of the thousands of loads of clothes Grandma did over the decades to get those points worn and pitted like that! Wow.
WOW !!!!! NUT SERT TOOL!!!
I love to watch old engines run . It is hypnotic especially if it is an engine I repaired. Old hit and miss and old 2 cylinder John Deere tractors makes me want to dance to the rhythm and beat.
That engine is a true classic! Like all the videos on this here channel!
Most rural areas of the USA didn’t get electricity until the passage of the Rural Electrification Act. The act was enacted in 1936 but obviously it took time to electrify rural America. Prior to this, there were all kinds of gasoline fueled machines to do work. General Motors’ Delco division had an entire line of products to aid rural settings with modern amenities. For anyone curious, look up “Delco Light Plant”. I actually have a Delco well pump , but do not have the Delco power plant to animate it. Anyway, the Delco Light Plant could be used to electrify a home. It would provide light via a lead acid battery array which I believe was 36 volts. The power plant would keep the battery array charged, utilizing voltage sense that would automatically start/idle the engine based on electric demands. They offered numerous 36 volt accessories for it, including a vacuum cleaner and washing machine tub. Other accessories (like the water pump I referenced) were belt driven by the power plant directly. The Delco Light division ceased to exist sometime around 1955, because most customers had switched to municipal electricity by that time.
Cool find Taryl!
Edit: I misspoke about the direct belt drive. My pump would have had a small electric motor with its own belt to run the pump. This electric motor would have run off the electricity generated by the Delco Light Plant/battery array.
holy buckets I got one of those!! I need to find a Kickstart never had it running. Had it for over 20 years now. Love it! Wow that looks like I need to dig it out😂
I got a Johnson iron horse washing machine engine from 1937 runs like a dream but is missing its tank, wonderful 'will it run' you did there, always wanted a maytag engine.
It's a 2 cycle, split the gas tank and check the flapper valve. I bet it's seized, gummed up, rusted, etc. You need some leaded gas lololol. You don't have torch tip cleaners? C'mon Taryl! I've found The best way to make a gasket here would be to take the tank and turn it over on my scanner, copier, etc. Scan it, then adhere it to flattened gasket paper, cut out your gasket. 😊😊
When my father was a little boy in the 1940's, he stuck his arm in the washing machine, and it broke his arm. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like this that did it.
He must have somehow got caught by the agitator or the rod that moved it
I am 61 and remember playing with these as a small boy!
When I was a kid in Nebraska, before the REA put in electricity, my Mom had an old Maytag with exactly this engine. When she would wash clothes in the old wringer washer, you could hear this little engine valiantly powering it all up and down the canyon where our house was situated. I was intrigued by this engine. One time when my Dad was on a long cattle-selling mission I got some of Pop's tools and took the darn thing apart and I couldn't put it back together! Boy, did I catch it when he came home! That was the start of me pursuing all things mechanical. Good upload! Sure brought back memories........
Great video! I have 2 singles and a double cylinder. Fun to display and run.
Not really surprising to me that they made these to 1952. My grandparents' small rural community in Tennessee didn't get electricity until 1949.
I remember my Mother talking about how back in the 30s they did not have electricity. They did however have a gas well, which provided gas for the lights, cooking and heating. Washing was done on a washing board and a tub that had a hand operated agitator, all for a family of ten. Then one day she got a gasoline powered washing machine. She was so excited that she sat on the porch and watched it was clothes all day long. Watching this video reminded me of how I completely restored one of these twin cylinder engines many years ago and whenever I run it I think of my Grandmother.
It's been said a few times, but an old fella with a long white beard in middle Tennessee that goes by the handle of Shopdogsam (Don Kelly), is a master at these along with hit and miss engines.
Awesome, now ya need to find the washing machine to go with it. Now that would be a real kick to see what the washer would look like this would have powered.
Keep it up mr head grass rat.
I'd check out your local Cracker Barrel 😄
Another awesome video, they sure don't make stuff like that anymore. Great work Taryl.
When I was little my Mom washed with a one cyl Maytag engine. Later on the first engine my Dad helped me work on and get running after it was replaced by an electric motor a real part of history thank you for a delightful video
Smart fix with the rivnut!
14 years ago my father-in-law passed away. As we went through his stuff we found out he had two hit-miss engines we had never heard him mention or play with. One was a single cylinder maytag (1929) similar to yours and the other was a 400 lb 3.5 HP Hercules engine (1915). The Maytag ran pretty soon with not a lot other than cleaning the carb pickup and the points (Like Taryl's). Even my teenage daughter liked starting it.
I found the big Hurcules more interesting nut more of a challenge to get running. So I sold the Maytag. They're pretty popular but don't sell for huge money. I used that money to get the Hurcules re-bored (compression was horrible and really needed help. Now the Hercules runs whenever I want it to. I kind of regret selling the Maytag but they're much easier to buy than the bigger hit-miss engines.
Thanks for the video.. was fun to see you do almost exactly what I did (but you do it faster). Those things were very well made.
Talk about a motor that will last forever, that be one. A cast iron gas tank that has full access from the top, an extremely simple gas pick up, all cast iron. A heavy duty kick starter. That is a beaut.
Have a maytag 92 single, love that engine.
You Sir A Master At Your Craft Thank You I enjoy Your Videos
Taryl Dactal is the man....sometimes you gotta take things apart and figure out how it works in order to fix it😅😅
Awesome video as always Taryl! Those old Maytags are great. I suspect they are so fixable nowadays is essentially a hard choke shut down so it pulls lots of gas and oil into it. All that oil stays and keeps it from corroding as bad internally. That and the shear simplicity of design. Keep up the great videos buddy!
You pulled off the motor, added a gas engine where the electric motor was on your old open top roll wringer Maytag washing machine and used it out on the back porch, weather permitting. When the oil company discovered natural gas up there we got electricity, natural gas, an AC electrical water pump for the well, satellite TV and all kinds of goodies, including free helicopter rides into town. Before that we used an outhouse, a light plant, and had a crank telephone. Light plants charge batteries for lighting and an old 90 volt DC AM radio but they don't work for appliances at all.
Nice job enjoy watching it are the videos you’re the best😊
I Love the sound of that engine!
That thing will definitely get your laundry clean
I bought one of them from the junkyard in Ellendale North Dakota when I was eight years old for $.50, and I did just what you did in your video and made it run and we used it to pump water for the cattle out of the back pasture, today they sell for $375-$450 apiece
Outstanding!!! Nice to see some vintage machinery come back to life. Good job.
That is Awesome Taryl, you need to find 1 that wash clothes. 👍🇺🇲
Heck, I'm 92 and live way out in the boonies of western North Dakota. We just got lectricity last month, been running these Maytag gas powered washers for nigh-on 80 year now. Back in ought seven, we got durn near run'd over by a danged ol' Kenmore washer rollin' down the hill, got away from Grandma on the 'spin' cycle. She tried her best to hold on, but just couldn't do it. Dangest thang I ever see'd.
Kudos to Mister CameraMan! It is so much nicer than watching someone try to work with only one hand while they hold the camera with the other!
My grandparents washed clothes with a Maytag. Such a blessing out on the farm.
Great video. I’ve always wanted one of these engines. This is the first one I’ve ever seen but I’ve heard of them.
That motor is really cool!
So cool to rehabilitate that vintage engine; please install it on a little mini-bike or something vintage; love it!
They are awesome engines. But make like .75hp. Wouldn't be crazy fast mini bike but a cool cruiser at a show perhaps.
@@meegstomtom same thoughts
@@jimsworthow531 echo made a twin cylinder chainsaw. I've been wanting one your years. With the mini bike engine in mind.
@@meegstomtom i like those twin 610 Echos too; great collector piece
I can smell the water and 2 stroke ☺️👍
WOW! That brings back memories of the late fifties! In my early years (i'm 80 now) i started to play with one of these exact engines. I built my own version of a carburator, nothing more than a aluminum tube that i necked down to make a venturi (no throttle plate just wide open). I broke the keepers on the magneto plate so i could advance the spark MUCH more. I have no idea how many RPM it would turn, but it was WAY more than stock. I attached an old Modle A ford radiator fan to it and attached it to my sled that pushed me along on a snow packed drivway. I was 12 or 13. Fond memories Ha!
All it needs now is a Grass Rats Garage sticker!
Love you man I enjoy all your videos I was the kid that always worked on the mini bikes in the neighborhood
my 55 maytag wringer would love that little motor i had one when i was a kid but i didnt keep it lol yours is running just the way it should bud ive heard one on my grams washer almost every day when i was a kid at the old camp ❤❤✌✌
Learned something new today. Thank you for your knowledge and videos.
Brings back memories Taryl ....good job
I never knew such a thing existed. Great job Taryl.
FANTASTIC VIDEO, nice seeing old machinery come to life again. This is a learning historical post, very good job, cheers !
I saw a few in my day. Guys liked to build go-carts out of them. They weren't really good for that as they are pretty small engines buy they liked the kick start. Around here, most were the little single cylinder ones. Those twin cylinder ones were pretty rare. You know that isn't a body hammer. That's a Mustie1 hammer. Not odd to me that they made them that late. Many rural locations didn't have power even after that.
For a two stroke, it seems like a clean burn job.
too cool for school Taryl thanks !
It is definitely a lot faster to make the gasket using the bottom of the gas tank. Had both the twins and the singles and took them to Portland every year. Fun simple little engines. Restored quite a few of them over the years.
“Get them chips out of there- John and Ponch.” How many do you think actually got that joke?
30:20 If you leave it, won't it eventually break apart inside the tank?
I love antiques
That's amazing ‼️
Pretty cool little piece of history that you have and have now got it to run again, I wonder if any of the wash tubs are still around would be pretty cool to see it as a unit thanks for sharing…👍👍👍
That was cool cleaning that pickup tube squeaky squeaky squeaky blup
A lot of remote houses and farms did not have electricity even in the 50s. They were still making "farm radios" in the 50s too. They are battery operated and cost a fortune to operate because the tubes need high voltage and high current low voltage. They ran off a special A/B battery with a 3 or 6v heater filament and a 67 or 90v B+ Voltage for the radio circuitry.
I did subscribe and greetings from California
I was told don't use 2 cycle oil. Use non-detergent 30 weight at a 35-1 ratio.
I use Klotz beano 2 stroke oil and leaded gasoline with zero problems for many years on the old Maytag engines I have. Yes you can use 30w if you want to fog for mosquitoes and have a mess. You can burn Coleman fuel aka White gas with 30w and these engines do not care. Add some Marvel Mystery Oil in every other tank of fuel and you will be fine.
@@sswcustomsewing4276 Didn't realize you could still buy the castor based oils anymore. Thanks.
@@Chisos1 No problem I think its a shame that castor base oils are so hard to find. Look up Klotz they have been a favorite for many years. I have also used Blendzall racing castor before it worked great. Used to be Castrol racing oil had castor and it had a distinct smell that people could recognize. Aviation oils some are castor based I just cannot think of any at the moment. Also old sewing machines called for a castor base sewing machine oil. Castor has its drawbacks that you have to watch for but it has capabilities that other lubricants just do not have. Another interesting oil base to research is the type of whale oil blends used in GM Posi & Limited Slip fluid or in the old Automatic transmission fluids. Have you found any current engine oils that are non detergent ?
There should be a number on the flywheel that will correspond to the dates in your book. Curious of your year. My single cylinder ( on a working washer) is a 1935.
Those Maytags just never seem to die, still see Maytag wringer washers that pop up for sale in my area from time to time and still occasionally see Maytag washers from the 60’s and 70’s that pop up for sale in the Southern California area. Even have a few myself I use and collect, one of them of which is a TOL A806 in my profile picture and another is a avocado A606 set from 1973.

Flywheel supply out of la mars Iowa.thay will have everything you need to repair it Thay carry rebuilt carbs,plugs, gaskets,point ect.i have a model 92 great little engine simple design make sure to run heavy on the oil mix
It runs and sounds great! They sure built stuff good back then!
90 years old and the kick start works!!
Hey Taryl, have you ever considered hot rodding a Khrohller Command Vee twin? I have heard some run, they sound very powerful. I thank that would be a fun project
Taryl God Bless you, just turned may 26th, as I call it 67 Earth years. ha no one wants to be called 21 years OLD! You Rock. always love you and your family. bye
Incredible that they produced those up until 1953. It was in amazing shape compared to many that may still exist waiting for some TLC to bring them back into working condition. Excellent video, thank you.
I found that gluing the gasket material to the body with some weather strip adhesive then cut your gasket Works best in that situation. The weather strip adhesive dries in 5 minutes.🎉
Now that's pretty sweet. Finally something old school on here that I actually like!!!!
The skits make it hard to get thru the whole video most times but that's just me
Shop dog Sam has a series on these engines.
speed is hit and miss ignition regulated. when its running without load its supposed to misfire. the twin really runs smooth. I had a single when I was a kid and it vibrated a lot more. the one I got came off my grandmothers maytag washer on her farm. they put a 110volt ac maytag electric motor on the machine instead when the farm got REA electricity. the entire farm ran on a 3KVA power pole transformer. obviously power got upgraded soon to a 25KVA power pole transformer.
Very cool video 👌
doesn't have a spout , but a flip top rubbing alcohol bottle full of gas comes in real handy in the shop for cleaning parts , tools , priming carbs , etc . i use mine almost every day .
There was a old man he had a little out building full of those washer engines seems like I remember most of them being one cylinder engines he said almost all ran when he put them in there but they had been in there for 5-20 years lol he also had a couple washers that were operational he used one to wash greasy clothes and shop rags I got to use it a few times definitely kept my fingers out of the wringer lol thanks for sharing
Thank you
Thats a cool opposed twin 2 stroke!
Grouse work Taryl Fixes mate lovely stuff and those are lovely motors plus once tune up correctly and performing like a train they are a good gem for all your washing and laundry needs and even tradies or workers who need a good washing after doing the rounds will love this one for sure and cheers from Australia 🐨🐑🦘🌴🌏🇦🇺 or the land down under to your area and for us lot well that would be very handy for sure no worries and even on a nice day and hung out to dry on the hills hoist would be a dream come true etc.
That's really an awesome and great sounding engine!
Awesome job
