wow, that a crazy thing. the sound is hypnotizing.

and look at that weird exhaust!

what was this used for?

[Cletrac]

Almost all maytag engines originally powered a washing machine. Rural electric power did away with gasoline powered washing machines for the most part in the late 1930s.

when the engine was originally on the washer, the weird exhaust you see would have been at the end of a long flexible metal hose that was either run through the wall of the house to the outside or passed through an open window. Things were quite different back then.

[graffie]

quite different is quite an understatement. i never knew such things existed.

it must have been horrible when an entire neighborhood went washing.

[Cletrac]

You have to realize that these things were commonplace on farms and not so much in the city, so there really wasn't a neighborhood to speak of.

Did You Find A New Spark Plug For It

[Cletrac]

Nope. Still has the same old broken plug in it. I've tried other plugs and it runs the best on this one. Go figure...

Love to hear an old '82 run!! My Dad has an '82 that I just assembled, but it needs points and a coil. Any idea where I can find one? Good sounding engine you got there!!! Congrats!!

V tec just kicked in...yo!

I believe that same engine powered the Maytag Racer, a go kart like vehicle. I had one when I was a kid, but it didn't have the Maytag engine in it.
