MORE PLZ! <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">AWESOME! I'm with the others, though ... when do we get to see the whole dealio?</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I just need some elves to come fix this '65 Kenmore washer I have dismantled with no clue as to what I'm doing. Is that too much to ask? =D  I've been fairly good this year. I think ...</span>

Agitator @tolivac ~ You'd might as well be speaking another language. Whatever you said is way over my head. O_o LOL   I unscrewed the top of the agitator ... so now how do I get the agitator out?   And then the next question is ... does the tub just lift out?  Or do I have to unscrew...

I got it out! THANK YOU!

Okay so I've come across my first stumbling block! I've disconnected everything that goes from the washer to the lid except for this one last thing.  It's a black thing (plastic or rubber?) and there are two wires going into it.  It appears to be sitting in a metal clamp, but I can not get it to...

Thanks!!!  I will be needing your help!  It's not leaking that much.  I put 3 gallon bucket underneath to catch it and there was maybe an inch or less of water in it.   If time allows I may start on it tonight.  Is the first step to remove the entire back panel?

Thanks! <span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not giving up just yet! I'm just going to move it out to my garage (when I can round up some strong backs to move it) and work on it when I get the chance. I'd like to do it myself if possible, so I'm glad...

It's the tub Gordon, I ran another cycle and realized I was wrong about the origin of the leak (because I didn't have the back panel off at first). It's coming from the tub. I just had a repair man here and he said it's probably rusted or a seal broke while it was being moved. He said even...

Thanks Gordon! Oh gosh ... I have no idea what water temp. I just turned on the water valves and let it fly. I did the test wash on the hottest setting, though. Supposedly when I bought it, it had been used about a month before ... but I have no positive proof of that. Okay I will...

The leaky place Sorry for the sucky diagram and ignorant language of the parts, but it's behind that drum thingy that holds the belt. =(

Okay you guys! My old thread has been archived because it's been a month or so since I posted, but I'm in my new house and hooked the washer up today ... and after 3 trips to the hardware store to get new hoses, etc. I did a test run and I thought all was hunky dory until I moved the washer...

@dave ~ HAHAHAHAHA! ^________^ I've been waiting for that ...

Who knew there was so much to learn about a washing machine! I just hope I can figure out how to operate it ... O_o ha Thanks again, everybody!

"I am betting that the serial 12157J65C is actually 12157J650." That makes perfect sense because the serial number looked like it had been stamped several times. Guess they just couldn't get that "O" to come out right and gave up on it. Again, thanks so much for the info! I really didn't...
