You have to have been 12 in 1961, because I was born in 1951 and will be 73 on July 2nd. In 1961 I was 10 years old and was training with my Uncle to be a mechanic (Now technician). Have been a Tech, trainer, and CC instructor, shop owner myself for 57 years now. It has been a fun ride for sure!

Thanks for the story. That was a comment worth reading.

I absolutely loved this comment! Thank you for sharing your story! This made my day! ❤

Not just once did, They brought them BACK for a while in the 90s! they are still really popular on some western homesteads down here in Australia, when people want to go for the off grid thing

I'd consider a floor mounted drill press and a media blast cabinet expensive machines, but yea, it is nice to see a channel not using lathes and milling machines.

Just for you ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oKSHZq1-bKiIqas.html

Ang Abrams you can buy a drill press and Walmart for like 80 bucks, won’t be great, but it works.

@@jasonmurawski5877You missed the point, but okay. Go buy that press then see how long it can run a wire wheel under load or how many holes it can drill with a forstner bit before it goes up in smoke.

Tus vídeos son maravillosos, me agrada ver que incluso cuando rompe alguna pieza, siempre encuentras solución ó repuesto..... Saludos desde España.

I remember that the final application of Maytag engines was for crude gocarts. Those were the days.

IDK how old you are, but it feels like the WW2 generation was so much cooler & better in so many ways. The people born after 1950 suck.

@@michaelmace924 Do you think people born after 1950 have a choice of when they were born?

Ricardo Uson creo que deberías poner tu comentario suelto, no debjo del de otra persona

A 2 stroke washing machine lacks imagination. It's American, why isn't it a V8?

Btw, ring gaps should be staggered on opposite sides for best compression.

I've seen displays of these types of engines at county fairs.

Yeah. There was a lot of time between internal combustion engines and mass adoption of electricity

Almost no one outside of towns or cities had electricity in the early '30's. The rural electrification act was passed in 1936 and allowed electric co-operatives to be set up with subsidized loans from the federal govt. The same thing is going on today with the lack of broadband in rural parts of the USA. Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act

It’s evo of the word It's (1998-2006) it’s old word It’s (2018-Future) it’s new YEAR’S day

that's the joke...

Just the sort of thing I said on his C. Brandes headphone restoration video. The Intro is one of the reasons I subscribed to this channel. Really took me back in time.

first time watcher and the intro killed me i was laughin so hard. its so good!

Shows were like that ? Feels more like a show nobody ever knew existed because, it played early Sunday morning.

@@ch1959 he literally pointed out that he got it. Redditors...

My thoughts exactly! Yet there are carbs on old tractors you have to fight some old guy to the death for lol.

These engines have a huge following, to the point that you can get plans to cast and mill your own engine!

Yeah, there's a few people on ebay that make nice reproduction parts for these. Helped me a lot restoring mine.

I agree ! Every time im amazed he just conjures up some parts... I'm dreading the day that we finally can fix/rebuild our old massey 30 (exact age still unnown somewhere arround 50' / 60' ). 1 head is already knocking and it leaks and smokes all over the place. Still runs and being used tho😅 but we're dreading the day that stops before we got our barn set up to fix him.. Sadly that can take a while 😓😓 (Yes him ... we named him Groundskeeper Willie... we named all our driveble junk 😅). We can't send the engine out to fix him sadly because we lack the 💸💸 So the longer we wait the harder it will be to get replacement parts if not a "new" or replacement engine (would break my heart), where would you find a perkins that old.... 36 and already too old and expensive to hire.

You'd be surprised how easy parts are to get. There are folks still useing these.

Hey young fella, you’re my age. I’m worn out just watching the video. I grew up on a farm-- no electricity until I was twelve I think. I remember wash day, I just hated it. Heating water on the wood stove and of course the old gas powered washing machine with the hose run out the door so you didn’t get gassed. I know it wasn’t a Maytag, but I can’t for the life of me remember how that engine was started. Ah, the good old days--no thanks!

now dont say that!!!!!!! you're only 73. gees loads of time. i am 60, btw

​@@iwillopine People who yearn for "The Good Ol' Days" either never lived through them or forgot how much they sucked

There are a ton of companies that waterjet or laser cut gaskets. I have mine done at my local sign shop with their laser that they write names on cups with. This particular engine has a cult following, so you can pretty much build one off ebay.

yup dude took an old school method and reduced the diameter by filing some of the edge off the crank end and resized it to the crank

Normally I buy junk tools because I'm a home gamer, but there is something to be said for the tolerances on better tools. My harbor freight junk sloshes around in the slot, but I usually work on things that don't matter, so I don't care. I'd care if I was doing this kind of work. But there's also a lot to be said for time, penetrating oil, and a torch too. Put penetrating oil on it every day for a month before you start, and I bet you'll find it easier. Not that I ever have the time or patience to do it.... :)

@@grantmcinnes1176ZZZ’S your willingness You’ll find

Not fourteen times a week like now. Wear it once and in the wash it goes.

@@chrisbooboo3840 lol i were it until i decide its dirty

I'm gonna put my foot in my mouth and say they were probably used as one time use crush washers like we have copper washers now, don't quote me on that though it's just my theory.

​@@normanbuchanan9710You are correct. In engines they are used as a gasket. Pretty much the only option when you don't have squishy, heat resistant, synthetic material on hand.

Like now in California where pge keeps turning off the f power!

I want one.

Can't recall the name of that show?

Mr. Electric’s never write comment

Your not wrong there mate. I have stopped fishing for a week and just compulsory viewed all day long. This guy is a genius. Take care and stay safe. Tom.

SeanHodgins do it before it rusts away

Yes, and to get the exhaust out of your back room these had a long flexible pipe you laid out with the end out on the porch. These machines also had a wringer on them to squeeze the water out of your freshly washed clothes.

Glad it wasn't Whirlpool restoring it, would of came out made of plastic.

@@lelandclayton5462 Yeah, Whirlpool did the same to Kitchen Aid mixers after they bought them. Cheap plastic gears.

I remember the actor who played the "Maytag Repairman" in Maytags commercials on TV way back in the 50's

I believe this one is a 2 cycle engine also. He showed the mix ratio.

@@POCarton cylinder

-Nice to see a day old post. Most of these are 1 & 2 years ago. I watched all 45 minutes of this video because it was very interesting. And to think this engine was in use in 1928 and could be attached to a washing machine or a lawnmower.

Why is a bot commenting on my comment?

This thing was designed with the cotter pin butterflied, so it obviously doesn't matter. No matter how many modern cotter pins you've fucked up, this one obviously didn't need to be put in differently; and it 100% CERTAINLY needs to be easy to pull apart again, these ENTIRE MACHINES we're designed to be pulled apart again, so any critique of anything that achieved this is obviously due to inexperience related to restoration, because that's the actual discussion we are having. Youd have a point if he was restoring a rocket engine. Because otherwise they would not have sold in 1921, when every other machine bought had utility and lasted a long time. Also, let's keep in mind that this machine was used for 100 years, with the cotter pin butterflied. So obviously your "bet" was lost before you made it I've never understood people who are of a different profession, with slight overlap, attempting to either give advice which is unnecessary, or even downright false information. You should never say "I'm a this" on the internet, because you automatically become a 13 year old boy who wants internet points when you claim your profession; simply say something that can only be said by someone who actually possesses knowledge on a subject. Finally, this is a museum piece. A lot of the restoration done by this dude is for clients who will be either putting them in museum (taking functioning parts off to make them displays, like a foot pedal that operates it for instance, although it's beyond obvious the forces on the cotter pins aren't in the correct direction to matter, and the spring is clearly only as strong as would be necessary to lift the pedal; you can tell by the outrageous number of coils and length of the spring coupled with it's being fairly thin.), Or using it for personal use because their granddad or whoever left it to them in unusable shape. That is to say, this is going to be shipped shortly after this video; and it might not be shipped in assembled condition. In the case of a gas washing machine, i don't think it's going to be getting much use outside of rural Alabama.

We ain’t going to space cowboy we washing our undies

What speed would you estimate they got up to?

@@muziklvr7776 around 25 to 35 mph. direct drive...i would not ride them but watched my cousins wreck them lol

heyyy i'm not the only one who cringed a little bit there

sapincher certainly not😂

if one was smart enough they would never use it inside the house

Or put an exhaust pipe through the wall, with an err... explosive hazard in the utility room (storing and filling petrol - fumes ) ⚠️ they didn’t know that in the 1920s

I’ve never wanted and I’ve heard

Yeah, that was great 🤣🤣🤣
