Love it. Unique looking motor. Surprised there were gas powered washing machine motors. I assumed they were always manual hand crank or electric only.

I bet you cussed when that casting went south...:) Nice work on a very cool machine. Looking forward to the whole magilla getting done.

Gah, I worry about you and lead. And now asbestos. Where the hell did you ever find the right parts for the carb and the ignition? Canadian Tire stock them?

Crazy. I can't believe these were sold to homeowners. Industrial, sure, but ... man, a gas engine in the house?

Some had a really long exhaust hose and most were probably not even in the home.
