Help identify Maytag - worth rebuilding?

Bought this old Maytag on a homemade tiller last summer... thought it was too interesting to pass up since it was loose and the owner claimed it had ran not too long ago...

All the bolts were loose when I took it apart, so who knows if it ever ran. Going to need plenty of parts to get it going, kinda wondering if it's even worth going through the trouble. The crankshaft and rod are grooved pretty deeply.

Any ideas what model it is? Or are there numbers somewhere under the grease that will help me out?

Got the steel ring off the flywheel and found the serial number - 495111, which I believe makes it built in May 1933. Had no idea that these were that old!

Getting some manuals, a flywheel, and a connecting rod so far. Bidding on a crankshaft on eBay that looks much better than mine.

I figure I'll try the crankshaft before worrying about the main bushings. If those are too loose I'll have to see if there is a local machine shop willing to do the work.

These are a fair amount cheaper to work on than the old tractors I'm used to! Guess I'll have to find myself a twin somewhere now...

Thanks for all the help!

Tinker In TN said: (quoted from post at 20:20:33 03/08/08) It's a model 92 Maytag. Parts are easy to find. The homemade cultivator is a neat find. I'd keep the whole unit, and display it as a one-of-a-kind item.


Thanks for the info... any ideas on where to find parts? The flywheel has been broken and poorly repaired with a strap, and I'll need gaskets, etc. to get it running.

There are quite a few parts on EBAY.

The Maytag service manual can be found here...

The serial number is stamped on the outer face of the aluminum flywheel under that steel strap. The steel strap is something that a previous owner made and bolted on for some reason.

The crank doesn't really look that bad in the photo. The bushings are probably worn worse than the crank journals.

Looks like that steel strap is on there to hold the flywheel together. Looks like there is a chunk of aluminum missing on one section of the flywheel....

Yep, and that strap probably threw the whole works out of balance resulting in the ruined crankshaft, bushings, connecting rod, etc.

I'll be using the following parts from "my" engine: piston, cylinder, fuel tank and top, kick pedal and ratchet.

I would have been better off to buy a running engine off eBay or otherwise. :( But this is a hobby and learning experience...
