I'm restoring a 1947 Maytag twin washing machine motor currently. I restored a 1961 Gravely tractor that was built for the US Postal Service this past summer.
I must say, the engineering in that Maytag motor is interesting. The governor is inside of the crankshaft. The RPM causes a spring loaded piston to slide in or out and adjust how much fuel air mix goes through the shaft from the mixer into the crank case.

The Kingston carburetor came home from the rebuild, and I finished building the rear axle cradle for the Model T.
The outlet casting is still on backorder so I may have to start hunting wrecking yards and swap meets for a used one.
