Imagine Grandma standing out in the shed on a 20 below O day out kickstarting the washing machine to get Gramps some clean clothes for work
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.
@@tomadkins2866 Or in the basement.
Granny did the laundry on the back porch, it was close to the clothesline in the backyard
My grandmother had hers on the front porch. My brother got his arm stuck in the tub. Almost ripped his whole arm off.
@@tomadkins2866 some even had a tube with a ball on the end to throw in a bucket of water to run them inside!
Definitely enjoying the small engine content. Cant wait to see more!
Yh 🐕
Hells yeah, keep em coming.
Yes. Very cool.
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.
Keep it comming
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 .
@@jefffindley5870 Taryl's fake teeth and wierd mannerisms make him hard to watch, to be honest. Decent content, but gimmicks/personality of potato
@@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 fair enough. I would enjoy his content significantly more without the gimmicks though
@@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.
The simplicity of the antique engines is amazing! I love seeing history come back to life! Would love to see more!
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 what type of crap are you using?.. my Miele from 1980 still runs with only one bearing change
@@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.
“If it starts knocking like a Jehovah’s Witness when we get it back together we’ll find out”. Hands down one of Kevin’s best quotes.
Loved that!
Love to see these old engines come back to life. Great job and absolutely want to see more of it. Thanks
Awesome job man. Handtool rescue has got a beautiful restoration on a Maytag engine! Loves it!
It’s brilliant, these small engines were the backbone for most farms.
Credit to you for getting it running.
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.
The "carbs" on them arent really carbs they are simple thermo-siphons.
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.
Truly enjoyed the Maytag washer small engine episode. What a unique find! Kudos for “sleuthing” out its operating functions.
I hope they can get the washer and get this engine mounted back on it. Would be awesome to see the whole thing operational.
@@ksavage681 Absolutely!
Keith Savage on the youtubechannel "hand tool rescue" the guy restores both the engine and the washing part and get it goin :)
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
It ain’t the 70’s anymore. Modern 2-cycle oil will lube better than straight 30 weight.
@@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 .
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!
That has got to be the coolest dang thing I've seen in a hot minute. More of this content please guys
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.
I really love this idea. Hell, I love seeing old equipment and old vehicles being given new, useful lives :)
He would have to purchase it first. It wasn't his if I recall...
I love how your first aid for getting shocked involves nothing more than grabbing a Latte longneck. Respect 🍻
He pulled it out of thin air too😂😂
My old boss once said "if it hurts, stick it in cider." Took me a bit but I finally got it.
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.
Love this old stuff. It's very much Intriguing. Love vintage stuff. That is so awesome to c it running. Great work!!!
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 )
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.
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
I love these small engine videos and anything that changes up the normal from time to time. Keeps us on our toes.
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 TH-cam 💯💪🙃 for the forgotten history.
Love seeing the odd random engines that don't get enough love, keep up the great vids
Great job Kevin!! It was pretty cool watching you guys work on something you knew nothing about yet you still made it run👍... Love your channel.
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!!!
That was definitely a neat change of pace. That's one nifty little motor!
Yesss, I was waiting to see if you were gonna revive that old Maytag from the snowmobile video! Love the vids man!
Yes would love to see more small engines on the channel!! Amazing you got this old Maytag running!!
This is great additional content. Still broadly on topic and compelling enough that it keeps it interesting. Adds a bit of variety.
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. 👍👍
This was so cool!! Love seeing old engines come back to life, also such a cool piece of history. I have never seen one of these before
Great video. Love seeing old engines starting up, let's have some more. Nice one.
Loved it, Kevin. Thanks for doing this one.
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! 👍
Yes Kevin, keep the small engine stuff coming as well!
Ok man, that was absolutely awesome!!! Thank you for making sure you are uploading videos regularly for the rest of us. You guys are so cool when you work together! Keep it up, and keep them coming!!😎👍😆
I love any content y’all put out man! From small engines, to badass barn finds, I love it!
Maytag first start in decades? I thought this was going to be him trying to talk Mook into doing some laundry 😂
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
Heck yeah man. It's cool to restore old things and persevere history, plus learn about how things work. Keep in up you heckers!
Good to see you getting more into these small engines.
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
Love the way you got it going so easily, then all the "experts" comment on what you should have done! So funny!
Great stuff. Thanks for the entertainment.
Oh and yeah, good job 👏 👍 on getting it running.
Absolutely loved it. Great sounds from that little boxer motor. 👏👏
One of the few TH-camrs I don’t mind hitting the “like” button for before I even watch the video. Keep up the awesome content!🤙🏻
Same!
I do that all the time on his videos
The Little Engine that could.. Love this Video!!! Definite Coffee Table Piece..
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!
This was very cool. Seeing history come to life after years was impressive. Nicely done.
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.
That was a great change of pace. Love to see more.
Great video, enjoyed the small motors videos. Kevin and Mook have a great weekend 👋👍
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!
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
Love the oddball small engine stuff- one of my faves was the episode with you and John ripping around on the frozen river with the ATC's!
Very good for the show , plus our family members are happy to see it running ,
PJb see you show
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.
Congrats on a successful start. You and Mook work good together!
Great stuff, thanks a bunch 👍
Cool , been looking for one to play with myself , its fun to work on engines big and small , thanks for the video ! I enjoyed !
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. 👍
Nice to see You switch up on other starting old engines. Great Video's. Thanks so much.
Definitely enjoy the odd small engine stuff. Feels like a cross between the normal content and Hand Tool Rescue!
Great 30 min ! Thank you !
This was a very cool video! I love seeing old things that were a godsend back in the day brought back to life. More please! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dude you ever hear of a brass punch or a just a punch....poor socket extension LOL. Thanks for making a video of the motor. If you could do one of that big ol motor later on that would be sweet.
Kevin, the small engine stuff is awesome. I love seeing the odd setups and dead-end evolutions from back in the day.
I love the small engine stuff.
I would hook that to an old belt driven compressor. And have a little mobile compressor
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.
Good stuff enjoy seeing vintage come back to life. Hope the owner puts it to use on something.
So cool to see that old 40s maytag motor Run love the sound @Junkyard Digs
Awesome little motor I have never seen one awesome you got it running I tinker with small engine stuff so I don't mind watching it your channel is great
Can't wait for mooks burnt nova vid. Love the small engine content.
I love that old small engine stuff, I think it’s super cool.
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 it! I learned just as much as you did
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
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.
It’s great content is a nice change of pace from the normal keep up the great work watch every video whenever I can
Enjoyed this ep. Really intuitive, a good place for a novice like myself to start gathering engine knowledge !
I LOVE the Small Engines... I would love to see some more of these videos.. Keep up the Great work...
Great revival, I love the old engineering and seeing this run was cool.
That was awesome watching you get this Maytag 2cylinder going! 😎😍😎
I love this type of content it’s very interesting especially being a mechanic myself , these old machines are awesome to watch come back to life.
That was such a cool episode. I love everything you guys do.
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
Loved it. Would love to see more. Tractors too.
That was nice 😅 thanks for sharing. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
I'd love to see you get that Wisconsin going
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.
Love the small engine stuff, I like the creatively and the solutions to problems that they pose.
Love the way you and your lady Interact
Can’t wait to see more of this obscure/small engine content 👍
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 !!
Love seeing you work on an engine right on top of the toolbox hahaha want some more for sure
This was great! I'm with you, the old hit and miss engines are awesome.
