multitasker meat grinder?

[Fueling Around]

Wife and I went to an antique engine show on Thursday.
Beside the large stationery, and the varied pump engines, there is also the plethora of Maytag gas engine with and without the washtub and wringer head.

I stopped at one of the buildings and found this gem.
I asked the owner, and he said it came from Missouri area and are hard to find.
I regret not asking if we could pull a wringer head and mount on a washer.
OK washing clothes and grinding meat is probably an odd multitask.
How about grinding meat and churning butter? I forgot to take a photo of the churn insert for the wash tub.



If you're in the area, they have another 4-day show in February.

It's intriguing what some companies did in days gone by. If I was in the area. I would check it out.

Sorry, I forgot to take a step back and think most never seen or knew about a wringer washer or even a gasoline engine powered washing machine.
My mother had a wringer washer up to the 80's.
The rubber rollers were no longer made since the 50's?

Enabling often meant neighbors shared.
Many had a gasoline engine powered washing machine as rural electric didn't reach many areas until the 40's.
Often items such as a meat grinder head or butter churn tub would be shared by many neighbors

We had one into the late 70's . I just remember the one being in Grandma's kitchen . She was using it for more than doing wash .
