Most all of the Maytags had four "J-bolts" that clamped them around the cross-ties on the lower portion of the washer legs. Early uprights were about 1/2 hp, later singles were 7/8 hp and the two-cylinder jobs were 3/4 hp. As for them being loud and obnoxious, I made a muffler for mine using a piece of tubing, welded a flange on the end, capped the other end and drilled a spiral of holes in it like a silencer. Now just a soothing "putt-putt-putt" sound. Be especially sure that the check ball or check disc in the fuel pick up tube is free to rattle around or you'll never get it started. Close the needle valve all the way and THEN bolt the teardrop tab back on it with the tip pointing towards "closed". To run, open it up to where the teardrop is pointing straight up. For parts, try the link below. ANy other questions, feel free to email me! Good luck.
