Vintage BARNFIND Maytag First Start in DECADES! 

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

Definitely enjoying the small engine content. Cant wait to see more!

The simplicity of the antique engines is amazing! I love seeing history come back to life! Would love to see more!

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.

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.

It’s brilliant, these small engines were the backbone for most farms. Credit to you for getting it running.

Seeing those old refrigerator and washing motors brings back memories of tinkering on them with my grandpa. Keep showing the old stuff with the revivals. And the "hit & miss" motors are the coolest

Nah Kevin, it doesn't always have to be a full blow car revival. This is still a mechanical part and you are reviving it! Love the oddball content! Keep them coming!

“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.

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.

There’s another really good video of a rescue of one of these on Hand Tool Rescue. He got hold of a complete washer unit and redid the tub as well. To see one of these washing clothes is mind bottling. Thank you for doing this!

Love to see these old engines come back to life. Great job and absolutely want to see more of it. Thanks

Truly enjoyed the Maytag washer small engine episode. What a unique find! Kudos for “sleuthing” out its operating functions.

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

The fact that you can get a small motor to start that was made decades ago, shows the quality of craftsmanship. Lucky now if you can have a small motor from China start a year from now if not used.

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.

I love how your first aid for getting shocked involves nothing more than grabbing a Latte longneck. Respect 🍻

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

Mook , you should be proud . You’ve caused celebration for women whom , after learning to operate and service these marvels which no doubt made women’s lives easier ( somewhat ) and made them ready to serve their country building and contributing to the war effort during WW 2 . I applaud you ma’am . Your service and recognition shall not go unnoticed . Your hard work and toil shall be remembered which is more than can be said of women who are supposed to be championing for women in this era . Thank you for your tireless effort and dedication . There will be something extra in your next check . Well , I had fun .

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!

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 )

Maytag first start in decades? I thought this was going to be him trying to talk Mook into doing some laundry 😂

I used to have a neighbor who restored hit and miss engines as a hobby. He had a complete Maytag washer with a single cylinder engine also from the 1940's, that he would use to wash his shop rags.

Totally diggin the small motor stuff. The older the better.

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 RU-vid 💯💪🙃 for the forgotten history.

Yes Kevin, keep the small engine stuff coming as well!

This is cool. Maytag originally used gasoline engines for their washing machines, so seeing one that's not still in a washer housing is pretty neat. Thanks for sharing this!

Awesome job man. Handtool rescue has got a beautiful restoration on a Maytag engine! Loves it!

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 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.

More small engines! YYYESSS!!! Especially motorcycles. Some vintage bikes, especially dual sport and dirt bikes would be AMAZING!

I love old small engines they’re so simple and easy to work on and troubleshoot and not so temperamental like new engines, love the video

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

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! 👍

small engine content is great! i think it helps people who are interested in working on cars understand bigger concepts on a much smaller scale

Crazy. I used to have one of the old single cylinder 5/8 hp Maytag engines. And now I got one of those twins. Love classic Maytag engines

Love seeing the odd random engines that don't get enough love, keep up the great vids

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!

7:17 wow its nice to see that car again... I loved that revival!

The "carbs" on them arent really carbs they are simple thermo-siphons.

That was definitely a neat change of pace. That's one nifty little motor!

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. 👍

I love the car content, but the small engines are something that I can actually work on as well. Please keep it coming!

Wow the paint is coming out amazing on that burnt nova that Mook is Pressure washing wasn't expecting the paint to come out that nice after the fire it was in @8:02 @Junkyard Digs @Junkyard Mook

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

One of the few RU-vidrs I don’t mind hitting the “like” button for before I even watch the video. Keep up the awesome content!🤙🏻

That needs to be fitted to a go cart or bike just for entertainment value , nice to see Mook give you a hug rather than just throw things at you . Unfortunately in the UK chances of finding a real barn find are rare but these small engines could be laying around in sheds and garages just waiting for someone to bring them back to life. Enjoy all your content large or small

Glad to see mook also and that she has another thing to love on!

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

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

That shed reminds me so much of the machine shed on the farm where I grew up. So many treasures buried in dust, cobwebs, and grease.

The Little Engine that could.. Love this Video!!! Definite Coffee Table Piece..

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.

Congrats on a successful start. You and Mook work good together!

Small engines are still cool as hell, do some of these every so often or even make a playlist. Things always slow down in the winter and that's when random shop work happens lol

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!

Love the way you got it going so easily, then all the "experts" comment on what you should have done! So funny!

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.

Enjoy the small engine repair videos as much as any videos for sure! Especially the old engines

Love the way you and your lady Interact

Absolutely loved it. Great sounds from that little boxer motor. 👏👏

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.

I love small engine stuff especially old tools like this being restored

Small engine stuff was cool. To see you put a smile on the ol man's face was cool too

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.

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

You can still get parts for those old Maytag engines. They have the spring to return the foot pedal start and the mufflers where really cool looking beehive shaped. Godspeed, great video

I love these old engines for their ingenuity. The engineers were still working around their machining ability without CNC and 4+ axis equipment. Some of the stuff was very clever on how simple yet effective you could make something. Speaks to how silly overcomplicated stuff nowadays has gotten.

Yesss, I was waiting to see if you were gonna revive that old Maytag from the snowmobile video! Love the vids man!

I'd love to see you get that Wisconsin going

I do love these small things as well please go ahead and do more anything to get any kind of engine repair gets me going I don't care how small things are I love recycling and repurposing items thanks for your great content

"whassup stinky" relationship goals right there!

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.

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

love to hear a lil motor like that plugging away. Your doing god's work getting that little Maytag motor going.

That was awesome watching you get this Maytag 2cylinder 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.

I like the old engines it's nice when you hear the old thing run again

Like to see them old ones come back to life👍

Small engine are always cool. I have been working on them for years and don’t get tired of them

This was very cool. Seeing history come to life after years was impressive. Nicely done.

I would like to see a REAL junkyard dig. That means JJD and JJM going to a junkyard with a bunch of tools and find a vehicle and get it running.. ONLY using parts scavenged from said yunkyard... That would be a cool challenge :p

Good to see you getting more into these small engines.

I love the small engine stuff. I would hook that to an old belt driven compressor. And have a little mobile compressor

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

I love that old small engine stuff, I think it’s super cool.

That was cool to see an old washing machine engine run once again...I remember them as a kid!!!

Good job. I used to work on these . I has a brass governer in the crank shaft to control the speed. These were 3/4 hp. any rural homemaker would swear by them as well as at them. monday was wash day. My dad made me a mower out of one.

That has got to be the coolest dang thing I've seen in a hot minute. More of this content please guys

Good stuff enjoy seeing vintage come back to life. Hope the owner puts it to use on something.

Yep, love the small engine stuff. Always a learning experience. (And less possibility of actual dying.)

I love how the motor started shooting sparks

Can't wait for mooks burnt nova vid. Love the small engine content.

Nice to see You switch up on other starting old engines. Great Video's. Thanks so much.

Love the maytag restoration And the pda

Hate to date myself, but I remember our family having one of those when I was a kid. After we upgraded to a electric ringer washer, we used the ole 2 stroke to smoke the bats out of the garage. Ahh the good ole days. 👍👍👍👍

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.

Would love to see that Wisconsin on a go kart just to mess with the cars and cameras guys.

Much more enjoyable and interesting than I thought it would be. Being honest (as a fan) in the beginning I thought man he’s desperate for content in this one and found myself watching every second of the episode and even feeling excited when it first lit. 👍🏻

This was fun to watch! Messing with old technology is always fun.
