In 1961 I was 10 years old and on the way home from school I saw this exact same motor sitting in my neighbors backyard I asked if I could have the engine and he said that if I would stack a cord of wood in his yard. I happily agreed and started stacking, after several days after school I was finally done. I brought my wagon over to his house and brought home my prize. With my dad’s help and several more days of cleaning and working on my first engine came to life. Just putting along with an occasional back fire it was a blast to play with. That my friends was the beginning of my mechanical career as I became mechanic for the rest of my life. Thanks for the memories, I love your KZread channel and learning all about what you do. I’m 75 years old today and you gave me a great gift, thank you.

Thank YOU for this restoration video! It was fascinating. My grandparents had an old Maytag washing machine in a small room off the kitchen. It had a electric motor and old fashioned clothes wringer. My brother and I were playing with the clothes wringer and almost got our fingers squished! Those things were dangerous! I had no idea Maytag once made a washer driven by a single piston gas motor! I learned something NEW today! Thank You for all your great work to make this wonderful video. I'll bet those old gas motor powered washers must have been great for folks who lived out in the sticks with no electricity!

I must admit that I'm completely amazed by these people restoring old rusted items. This engine is a beautiful example of what I mean. Each and every slotted screw on this engine comes out with either not a lot of torque applied or a fair amount of torque. Hardly ever does the slot get deformed to the point of being useless to remove the screw. I've had screws deform left and right when removing them. I often have to employ a extractor to get them out. I have to be doing something wrong.

-Very interesting watching this from beginning to end. Most of all I wanted to see that piston and how it was situated in that engine. Really neat considering it was in use in 1928. And I agree with the rebuilder that it did not need rings because the ones on there now still look brand new. It also had a pretty good sound to it. Thanks for showing this. Hang in there.

This brought back memories. I had one about 65 years ago off a home-made power lawn mower my grandfather had rigged up using the Maytag engine. It ran hit-or-miss at an idle, but went full bore with a load placed on it. I built several wooden "go-carts" using it for power. Unfortunately, I do not remember where it got away from me due to family moves, etc. Glad I watched the video.

I actually only found this one by sort of accident but I really do respect the people who take the time and have the patience to show and remind kids that things were so different and seriously it wasn't all that long ago if we go by evolution standards.

If I may offer a tip, the "butterfly" cotter pin technique isn't always the best. If you send one end over the tip of the bolt, the "loop" of the cotter pin locks into the castellated nut, and you can get it much more secure by pulling as you bend. Then you trim the other end short before you bend it down towards the surface. Both the butterfly and over-under techniques are valid depending on the circumstance, but for castellated nuts you usually don't butterfly. This is from a jet engine technician, so you don't think I'm just some moron. Also, I know bending the cotter pin 2 degrees makes it easier to remove, but it's really not secure, especially on things that vibrate like motors. I'd be surprised if those pins holding the foot pedal spring don't come out after running for a short time.

@D-Vinko

Жыл бұрын

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.

Nicely done restoration - a true artisan at work! Back when I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's, we didn't have cell phones, video games, computers and other electronic wizardry to take up all of our time for hours on end. We picked up old motors like this that no longer worked and fixed them up in 4H class. Today's kids can't even fix their own hair, much less change the oil in their own car. Tinkering with those old mechanical things when I was a kid put the engineering bug in me. Today I work on commercial aircraft engines worth tens of millions of dollars and I STILL love tinkering with old motors like this!

Amazing work. Love this channel. I might have to try and restore some old tools now.

I'm surprised you got all those replacement parts for such an old machine!

I have any part you may need for those motors. Find me on ebay frappi or email frappi@wcoil.com

I'm sorry it ended like this. Such work was done and such an ending.

Greatest person to know it you are lucky enough after an EMP attack here in the US. Old tech is king!

Love these videos! I wish you'd give more detail on decisions such as "these small parts beed to be replaced" or "these are worn and need to be replaced" because most of us probably dont know why/ can't tell by looking. Would be a fun learning opportunity!

I bought one of those washers at a farm sale once that had a gas engine under it . I put some gasoline in it and pushed the pedal twice and it started right up and ran good to.

When I was a young boy, back in the 40's I used these Maytag motors in soap box cars and a homemade scooter. The flywheel hubs were always braking, because the engines were not balanced very well and the governor was very important. I really enjoy your videos, you have a rare gift. Keep em coming. PS I wonder what the washing machine cost when new??

Internet says these things cost $81.50 back in the 20's (with inflation adjustment that comes to about $1054 in today's money)

Wow, the amount of hazardous materials in this thing. I'm really glad you took the time to show that and explain it. I'm definitely going to think twice before I ever try to take apart a rusty AF 100-year-old engine...

I literally play these in the background while i work. It's so lovely to listen to and glance at. This is the content youtube was originally made for!

This isn't directly related to this specific video, but I would like to thank you for posting the videos you post. Watching your content inspired me to clean up the table in my garage, to finally put up some pegboard on the wall that I had laying around for forever, and to put some of my tools away properly. It's inspiring to see what you can accomplish with a bit of effort. Please keep making content! :)

Hi! Thank you! As a handy man I can appreciate such fantastic Job! Congratulations. I work repairing washing machine in Argentina. Cheers!!

unglaublich einfache Konstruktion des Motors, aber alles gut durchdacht und unkaputtbar, sowas kann man auch gut restaurieren,da es nur wenige Bauteile gibt,die man ersetzen muss. Selbst der Kolben mit den massiven Kolbenringen ist schon außergewöhnlich genauso wie die Kurbelwelle. Restauriert überlebt so ein Motor etliche Generationen. Dankeschön für dieses interessantes Video

I was spellbound throughout this video. Love that old-school technology. That's a mighty big piston for just 1 horsepower or so...that I saw that 1'' crankshaft throw. Your method of fixing the excessive play in the big end of the connecting rod was a "new one" on me! It was probably a good thing you didn't have vocals when that flywheel hub cracked! LOL

That intro cracks me up every time😂😂😂

Ooops😁 nice to know I'm not the only one who screws-up every now and then ☺️ it shows the calibre of a good man to show his errors to educate us mortals‼️ another great restoration, hope you can find a replacement for the donor flywheel. Watching that next 😱

We had one in the 50s on the farm where I was raised. When the tub rusted out my brothers and I planted it in a Western Auto bicycle that had a carrier on the back that was large enough to carry a refrigerator and rode the contraption up and down a nearby blacktop highway until our neighbor-kid wrecked it on a curve and broke his collarbone. It was great fun.
