Washing machine motor, gas powered. Interesting and neat bit of machinery and history.

My late great buddy, Hank, grew up on a rural farm with one of those little gems... it was used for everything including running a corn husker, charging batteries and oh yes, the wash. He always wanted one but passed before he found one at "his price".... he always bragged how useful and trouble free it was!!!

In the late 90's, Speed Queen still made a wringer washer with a Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine. They probably still do!

Very common in rural Tennessee - I'm sure SandyG can remember them.

Those motors ran many a homestead, and like others pointed out, ran a lot more than the washer.

There is a community that collects and restores old motors - Smokstak. Like VK, with motors. I'd ask over there - lots of good resources.
