You have a physical reminder of an important stage of development of our nation's quality of life. Prior to the advent of the Maytag Engine many folks who even bothered to wash their clothing, would do it by stirring the clothes with a stick in a pot of boiling water, with lye soap used to reduce surface tension. Since birth control was not yet freely available from the government, the children in the family would resemble stairsteps and would number from 9 on up to who knows how many. Children being in constant need of amusement and essentially cruel in their treatment of each other, some of the littler ones were bound to be pushed into the pot from time to time. Arnie and Evil Dave were lucky to have avoided such a fate. Given their disdain for the wonderful Maytag Engine their clothes probably weren't all that clean, either. But, I digress. Second, ignore those gas/oil ratios offered up from Evil Dave and Arnie. Go back to the traditional formula, 16 parts gasoline to one part 30 wt. non-detergent motor oil. You can reduce the smoke considerable by running the engine under load. The single cylinder model 92 has hit and miss governing with constant fuel supply. Under no load it may fire only every 15 or 20 revolutions so you can see considerable gas/oil mix is pumping through the engine creating a smoky exhaust. So, do be kind to your fine little Maytag Engine.

Very comfortable plane and their service is fantastic. Changi Airport (Singapore) is consistently amongst the best in the world which makes changing planes in the middle of a long trip a bit more pleasant. We only went to the UK a few years ago and I think it was about 24 hours total travel time before we arrived in the sh**hole that is Heathrow ;) Patrick On 9/9/12 5:19 AM, "Arnie Fero" wrote: > Hi Folks, > > Have any of you flown from Oz to the UK? > In starting the search for flights, what I'm seeing is > seriously UGLY.

Regarding differences between 2 cycle oil and 30 wt non-detergent, I know that one costs much more than the other. For about three summers we enjoyed running a small cabin cruiser equipped with two "Big Twin" 35 HP Evinrude engines. I soon began ordering 30 wt non-detergent from a Mobil Oil distributor in 5 gallon cans as it cut the oil cost by more than half. In the past 20 years I have see some discussion of the difference between oil for water cooled outboard engines and air cooled chain saws with the chain saw oil being able to function at higher temperature. If you are going to "work" your Maytag Engine, I suggest the chain saw oil. Otherwise, outboard or 30 wt. non-detergent should suffice. Also, as with any small, pull or kick start engine that just happens to have a pulley exposed, I recommend you set up a 1/2 hp electric motor, 1750 rpm in such a manner that you can run a belt from it to your Maytag engine. An old mechanic from back in the 1950's suggested that when I brought an old Briggs WM to him for help in geting it started. He has me spinning the Briggs with the electric motor while making adjustments to the fuel mix until the Briggs gave up being stubborn and started running. No cussing involved.

Any problem in using 2-cycle oil mixed with the gas rather than 30w ND? mmmm.... just remembered I actually have a real nice 1 gallon Maytag oil can nd it actually still has some oil in it.

You have a physical reminder of an important tage of development of our nation's quality of life. Prior to the advent of he Maytag Engine many folks who even bothered to wash their clothing, would do t by stirring the clothes with a stick in a pot of boiling water, with lye soap sed to reduce surface tension. Since birth control was not yet freely vailable from the government, the children in the family would resemble tairsteps and would number from 9 on up to who knows how many. Children being n constant need of amusement and essentially cruel in their treatment of each ther, some of the littler ones were bound to be pushed into the pot from time o time. Arnie and Evil Dave were lucky to have avoided such a fate. Given heir disdain for the wonderful Maytag Engine their clothes probably weren't all hat clean, either. But, I digress. Second, ignore those gas/oil ratios offered up from Evil Dave nd Arnie. Go back to the traditional formula, 16 parts gasoline to one part 30 t. non-detergent motor oil. You can reduce the smoke considerable by running he engine under load. The single cylinder model 92 has hit and miss governing ith constant fuel supply. Under no load it may fire only every 15 or 20 evolutions so you can see considerable gas/oil mix is pumping through the ngine creating a smoky exhaust. So, do be kind to your fine little Maytag Engine.

In fact I believe that this is the same way that the ladies on the farm (the ones that were not so inbred that they just kept kicking until the wash was done) _attempted_ to start MAYTAG MOTORS in the early part of the last century!

On Saturday, September 29 the Youngstown Steel Heritage Foundation will be holding an open house at the Tod Engine Heritage Park in Youngstown. Come see our collection of historic Youngstown steelmaking equipment being restored for our future steelmaking museum. Our collection consists of a 260 ton, 4000 horsepower rolling mill steam engine, the oldest operable electric overhead crane in the US, a Kling type hot metal car, GE 70 ton centercab locomotive, 175 ton teeming ladle, ingot mold and numerous other artifacts from Youngstown?s steel industry.

I do plan on visiting this museum next May prior to the Nuenen show. So if anyone needs brass tags for their Czech engines, I can possibly pick up a few and have them at Nuenen or mail them to people after I return home from that trip. I've been exchanging emails with Zednek for as long as Arnie and hope to actually meet him next May. I've been impressed with the photos he keeps sending me as there are a lot more early Czech engines in that country than I was originally led to believe by some of the other European engine collectors.

On the Crossley Otto....its hard to say. I would be surprised if it didn't end up across the water. What I want to kick myself over is I could have bought the engine in the late 80's for less than $10,000. When I decided I had better go on and purchase it I called the gent in England who owned it (his name was Ed Moffett) and he had sold it a couple of weeks prior. But, that was then....this is now. As a "guesstimate" to what it will bring, I'd say in excess of twice the amount you speculated. (If it were much less than that maybe I will be a buyer....that is if the wife and the bank both were to say "yes"). There certainly is some fine iron in that sale.

The 45 Mogul at the Gary Parker auction brought $275,000 and I would think that Peter's 45 would be considered considerably better than Gary's (at least comparing them on sale date vs. condition at sale date, the one sold at Gary's auction may have had additional work done on it since then and is probably top notch now). I agree that the Crossley will be the highest priced engine (by far) sold at the sale. I'd like to see it stay in the US but if it can't, I hope its at Nuenen next year.

Click once on the filename in the Finder or on your Desktop, so that it is highlighted. Type to get the information on the file.

Regarding differences between 2 cycle oil and 30 wt non-detergent, I know that one costs much more than the other. For about three summers we enjoyed running a small cabin cruiser equipped with two "Big Twin" 35 HP Evinrude engines. I soon began ordering 30 wt non-detergent from a Mobil Oil distributor in 5 gallon cans as it cut the oil cost by more than half. In the past 20 years I have see some discussion of the difference between oil for water cooled outboard engines and air cooled chain saws with the chain saw oil being able to function at higher temperature. If you are going to "work" your Maytag Engine, I suggest the chain saw oil. Otherwise, outboard or 30 wt. non-detergent should suffice. Also, as with any small, pull or kick start engine that just happens to have a pulley exposed, I recommend you set up a 1/2 hp electric motor, 1750 rpm in such a manner that you can run a belt from it to your Maytag engine. An old mechanic from back in the 1950's suggested that when I brought an old Briggs WM to him for help in geting it started. He has me spinning the Briggs with the electric motor while making adjustments to the fuel mix until the Briggs gave up being stubborn and started running. No cussing involved.

In fact I believe that this is the same way that the ladies on the farm (the ones that were not so inbred that they just kept kicking until the wash was done) _attempted_ to start MAYTAG MOTORS in the early part of the last century! (As time passed the inbred women evolved into DEMOCRATS!

An old mechanic from back in the 1950's suggested that when I brought an old Briggs WM to him for help in geting it started. He has me spinning the Briggs with the electric motor while making adjustments to the fuel mix until the Briggs gave up being stubborn and started running.

Join us as we show off the work accomplished thus far and discuss the work ahead of us as we begin the mechanical restoration of the Tod Engine with a goal of returning it to operation by September, 2014. On Saturday, September 29 the Youngstown Steel Heritage Foundation will be holding an open house at the Tod Engine Heritage Park in Youngstown. Come see our collection of historic Youngstown steelmaking equipment being restored for our future steelmaking museum. Our collection consists of a 260 ton, 4000 horsepower rolling mill steam engine, the oldest operable electric overhead crane in the US, a Kling type hot metal car, GE 70 ton centercab locomotive, 175 ton teeming ladle, ingot mold and numerous other artifacts from Youngstown?s steel industry.

On the Crossley Otto....its hard to say. I would be surprised if it didn't end up across the water. What I want to kick myself over is I could have bought the engine in the late 80's for less than $10,000. When I decided I had better go on and purchase it I called the gent in England who owned it (his name was Ed Moffett) and he had sold it a couple of weeks prior. But, that was then....this is now. As a "guesstimate" to what it will bring, I'd say in excess of twice the amount you speculated. (If it were much less than that maybe I will be a buyer....that is if the wife and the bank both were to say "yes"). There certainly is some fine iron in that sale.

The 45 Mogul at the Gary Parker auction brought $275,000 and I would think that Peter's 45 would be considered considerably better than Gary's (at least comparing them on sale date vs. condition at sale date, the one sold at Gary's auction may have had additional work done on it since then and is probably top notch now). I agree that the Crossley will be the highest priced engine (by far) sold at the sale. I'd like to see it stay in the US but if it can't, I hope its at Nuenen next year.

I know the owner very well and Im sure he will be smiling when the hammer falls on this one. Will be well well above the purchase of the Aussie one. (there are a few in Australia byw) If you come to the National and do the tour thing you could probably get to check it out.

Click once on the filename in the Finder or on your Desktop, so that it is highlighted. Type to get the information on the file. Beneath the heading ?More Info,? you might be able to see where the file came from. If it came from an email, web site, scanner, or was created by an application, you?ll probably be able to determine the source. Good luck.

They do have 1927 Blackstone manual 420 listed, & it was missing a couple of pages when I downloaded. Worth trying them again, in case it has been reloaded. I have not found another, complete, source.

I was contacted by the Internal Fire Museum yesterday, they sent the missing pages. I guess they were missing from the first download and I didn't notice.

It is not stuck and is only missing the carby and fuel tank. This one seems to be in much better condition than the one I already had so it may be the one to be kept and restored.

Message-ID: We are heading over to California for a short break, staying with our very good friend, Tim. He has some work lined up for me on his two 1950's cars, Studebaker Commander and Hudson Hornet. Gearbox out of one and the overdrive on the other. While we are there, I noticed a classic car swap meet at Turlock on the 7th, and wondered what else might be on? Arrive 4th, return 16th, to arrive back in the UK on Rita's birthday.
