A friend of ours, who owns an antique store, dropped this off at our house today. He had bought some stuff from some people downsizing. He didn't want this, so to our house it came. It is a 1927 Maytag Model 92. Has a gas engine. The engine was rebuilt in 2004. Don't know when the last time it ran was, though.

gas maytag those are common at my local threshing bee-some people collect and display maytag engines.Briggs and Stratton also made some washer engines.The maytag engines putt-putt along at ~1500 RPM-a flexible steel exhaust pipe is run out the door to keep the 2-stroke exhaust smoke and fumes outdoors... | ||

1927 - that machine comes from Lucky Lindy's time(NY to Paris in 1927)...and a manual washing machine cost $15.95, an electric one ~ $79. But what about a gas driven one like this one?
It's amazing that any of these old machines are still around - considering most people just toss out the old and buy new. ...wouldn't it be interesting to know the families and lives behind this washer? I hope you enjoy it. | ||

Great vintage machine!
What a great gift of a great vintage Maytag! The inside of the wash tub and the "gyratator" looks to be in fantastic condition - much better than my 1935 Model 30 was when I got it.
Your earlier model has a different style agitator than mine; you'll notice this in the "before/after" pic of the tub. If you're interested in seeing photos of the restoration process, I've attached a link. Would love to see a video of your machine in action. I'm curious how that "concave" style agitator works compared with mine. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradross's LINK
