It's all about flywheel size and... yes. Sawmills to butter churns to big threshers... hit and miss motors kept big flywheels spinning and could do damn near anything!
It's a whole collecting genre until itself. So many cool engines out there. And restored ones are cheap, because noone is collecting them any more. They're all dying off.

Indeed they did! Maytag Step Start motors are one of the most commonly restored small engines.One of my favorite uses is to power a washing machine. Yes, they did that too.
The guy that owns the Harley shop in Stillwater, OK had (probably still has) a giant ice cream churn powered by an old restored hit and miss. It was pretty cool to make ice cream on that thing. Sounded neater’n hell running.I have a hit and miss pending restoration... if I had a saw like that... It would be 'under restoration!!!'
Damn America was such an awesome place before OSHA and liberals came along and fucked it up. Back then, you either knew your stuff or you died. Or became 'stumpy' and then died of sepsis.
It was better for everyone back then!
