Paging Geoff Delp. I would like your advice about what paint to use on a 1937 Maytag. Also any other advice you have about painting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. | ||

and the mixing can On top of the machine is the mixing can in which gas and oil are mixed for use in the engine. The machine is currently electrified but was originally gasoline powered. I hope one day to find an engine.

Robert that is a a great washer good luck on the restoration and paint job.
But i was always woundering where that crest came from and it is as old as Maytag itself the first time i saw the logo was.....when the crest was on the Neptunes when they first came out so again what a learning experince. Here is the crest that i thought was like what i see here in the your pic above, but it is much different under the Maytag name is a M under the Maytag writing Wow! Funny look's like this is where they began and this where they ended. Hunting. Thanks for posting. Darren k.
