Robert. I will probably try the Speed Queen Boot first. The openings are approximate 3" and 5 1/4". And about 3" tall. With the speed queen boot being so close, I'm willing to try it first.

The next three pictures are of the boot, you can see where it is cracked and ripped. The fourth picture is where the boot attaches to the tub. Last picture is of the sink drain just sitting in as the tub drain. As I said, I will be removing the "X" from the middle of it before I actually secure...

This is the boot still attached prior to me removing the support casting. The next two pictures are of the two screws underneath the tub that I had to remove to pull the shaft out. The fourth picture is the support casting with the shaft removed and then a close up of the nut I had to remove...

Here are some of it removed. As you can see how clean it is. Also the agitator and the fill valve have dates stamped on them from 1953. The last picture is from the original ad, when I purchased it back in 2017.

Back in May 2017 I purchased this 1953 Hotpoint washer. It was in really good condition. The cord was shot but I replaced that and found I had several leaks in it. The drain hose was in pieces (Literally) and the shaft boot that is under the support casting was off the tub lip. I tried to repair...

Welcome to the site. You might have a bit more luck if you were to post this on under the Shoppers Square and also post a location of where the dryer is at.

Thank you. The buttons are a little melted as in they must have gotten hot at some point.

Yesterday I was at home watching TV and looking at Marketplace on my phone, when I saw an ad for a Maytag dryer for FREE. It had been posted a couple hours earlier and was about a 1.5-hour drive from me. I messaged the guy and asked if I could come and get it. He promptly responded back with his...

Nice machines. Too bad the washer wasn't a Lady too.

A little over a year ago, I saw this ad for a 1960 Frigidaire Imperial Dryer on Facebook Marketplace. They seller was asking $700 for it at the time. Shortly after then, he dropped the price to $500. After it being at $500 for a couple of months, I messaged him and offered him $300 for it. He...

I've always loved the Ladies. Lady Kenmores that is. I would have to go with the 1963 Lady Kenmore or the 1957 Lady Kenmore. Robert, That 57 Frigidaire set is to die for. Those are definitely a top contender. I especially love their advertisements from back then.

The machine that Ross owned, I have. He always had issues with the drain pump going out on it. I will probably just replace the original pump with an aftermarket electric pump.

Didn't he sell his Yellow Maytag set to them for the show?

Like everyone else has said, THANK YOU!! You have done an amazing job with this website. While I have found quite a few machines, because of this site, the important thing is the friendships I have because of this site. I have met people from all over this country, from Signal Hill, California...

Very nice set. I have the same set (push button dryer and center dial washer) but in turquoise.
