Sorry! Yes, it's a Hoover 0512. Sorry I didn't say so before-- I was just sort of continuing on from another thread. (Newbie needs advice and support, or something like that) I'll put up more pictures as soon as I can; I'm at work right now. So much I want to do and so little time! :)

More surprises!!! I only have a sec but you gotta hear this! Right before going to bed last night I thought I'd amuse myself by starting her up with the back off just to see, even though I didn't have time to actually DO anything more. I ran the wash tub a little and watched the whirring from...

About the belts... The reason I want to replace the belts is simply their condition-- they're very brittle to the touch and I can't see them holding out very long under actual use. They MIGHT work as they are, at least for a while, but they'll surely need replacing before long. I'm especially...

I'll definitely need all new belts. I'm going to take them to an appliance store that's been in my town for many years and see if they have anything to match. The pump valve switch turns perfectly with the dial above, so no problems there. That's all I know so far-- I just opened her up a few...

I expected to see some dirt and gunk when I popped the back off for the first time; no big surprise there. It's actually not even as bad as I thought it'd be. The surprise came when I attempted to start off by clearing away all the corpses of dead spiders-- and two of them were quite alive!! I...

That's her!!! Yes yes yes, that pic looks exactly like mine!! When we tried to drain the tub, the spinner definitely was spinning... the water just didn't go. This evening after work, as long as I have some time, I'm going to get into the back and see what I can figure out. With all the...

Good and bad... I fired her up, and she runs! The spinner spins like CRAZY-- I was amazed at the power that little thing whipped up. The agitator runs just fine also. Whoo hoo! The only thing I couldn't do yet was pump the water out of the tub. We turned the controls to the right position, and...

Oh yeah... I forgot to ask-- where can I see your pics? I see your profile when I click your name, but no pics. I looked through the "Photos of Collections," but didn't see you there either. Where do I go? Thanks. :)

Thank you!!! I'm thrilled to see a response already!! I decided to go ahead and try the first step you recommended-- I've just poured some hot water in and am waiting to see what happens. I didn't see any immediate leakage, so I guess it's a good start. Now for the two questions that will...

Hello to all... I found this site last night after unexpectedly receiving an old Hoover twin tub washer, model 0512. It appears externally to be in absolutely pristine condition, apart from a couple of scratches on the back panel. It still has its instruction manual, also perfect, and the tray...
