MAYTAG — ENGINE COLORS | |
---|---|
Some parts of Maytag engines manufactured from 1911 to 1916 were painted red. To get some idea of the color red, you would have to obtain an auto-paint color chart and find the color for Chevrolet trucks dated 1979-1982, Carmine Red, and manufacture code 70. The engines of these models were painted dark blue (Navy). | |
1911-1916 | The engine, which was upright, could be started with a battery. The crankcase, gas tank, and flywheel were red. The flywheel had a blue trim on the 1-5/16″ wide face of the flywheel rim, with a blue flywheel center hub or flat pulley. Also, the cylinder on this engine was blue. |
1920 | During this production year, all engines were blue and had red gas tanks. |
1921-1923 | These engines were upright with a magneto. The color of all of these engines was blue, with aluminum backplates and flywheels. The belt pulleys on these engines were also painted blue. |
1923-1927 | Model 82 — These engines, which have a single main bearing, were painted darker green. |
1927-1937 | These engines have two main bearing engines (single cylinder), which were medium dark green in color. Please note: some of the engines manufactured in 1931 had a short, deep fuel tank engine painted medium olive color. |
1932 | The older Maytag engines were two-color black, and the decals with gold. |
1937 | These engines, the first twin-cylinder engines, were painted the same green color as were the single-cylinder engines. |
1933-1952 | These Maytag engines were painted red, with gold-and-black decals. |
1937-1938 | These were the last years for the single-cylinder engines, most of which were painted green. The starter pedals, starter covers, and gears were painted a rough black crystaline color. |
1937-1952 | The years of the twin-cylinder engines, which were painted black. The Maytag single-cylinder engines were of a horizontal type. The twin-cylinder engines were the same color as the single cylinder. Please note a flat pulley or V-belt pulley could be used on these engines. |
1945 | (October) Serial number 981250 was the first Maytag engine to use the new 72 DA magneto. |
