A Familiar Name with a Gasoline Engine - but not Transportation

It’s a Maytag Washing Machine with an IC engine with Kickstarter!

 

Seen at the San Tan Historical Society's museum that's housed in an old schoolhouse building.

 

This old Maytag wringer style washing machine is powered by a gasoline engine. Note the kick starter pedal near the bottom, right.

 

This would have been quite useful on a farm or ranch that might not have been electrified yet, but had areas around the house where an engine could be fired up safely.
