not getting the pump going... went with the classy black nylons though... with a few knots for traction, and seems to be turning (trying to turn) the wheels... im working on the impeler and anything giving resistance. Still at it.

cant wait to see these plungers work... It runs with a few shorts... looks like a new cord and some copper polish.

More on the stopper/3 roller soon. (I'll take some photos tommorow). The "on/off" does what you were eluding to though... the "on" pulls (both wheels in tandom) the most inner wheel to the main belt engaging the impeler.... ha ha i think. Im gonna try to find a good home for the Norge as i...

nice day for a drive Im trying to persuade the mrs. to go about 220 for a little Easy Wringer i found too. Good luck.

missing in action Yes. Missing the drainboard. Previous owner added a third roller and a stopper and appears used the forward/reverse to same side wring. Dont know why... perplexing for sure.

Thanks Stan Thanks Stan. Grew up in Boise, but live in the Northern Panhandle now. My grandparents farm is between Horseshoe Bend and Emmett ID. Know many from Twin, Buhl and that part. (Nice golf and fishing!) I will try that rather than my surgical skill of cutting down a belt. Found a...

Handle for the Ol Norge? Still trying to locate a sub belt for my water pump. Either a little to long or a little two thick, but all mechanical engages and runs now. Got the lid back in decent shape to keep that great slosh contained, but would like to get a pic of handle appearance on the ol...

Nice machine Marks Pretty sweet machine. Having belt issues of my own. Your conversation with mickeyd gave me a few ideas. He's given me some good advice about my 60's norge restor. in the past.... Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion Stan (Meguire's) i will treat the Norge to some for last of detailing when i get there. Dog gone work keeps getting in the way. Thanks Mickeyd too. Every-thing rolling now except that pump. did the look-see and got the large belt moving. -> but the little (10-12") belt...

thanks for the help good call on the missing pump.... or parts. i think the belt is gone. i engaged the ON/OFF and got a little extra vibration but no pumping. I need to get it on its side and look better. That full norge skirt makes it hard to see the inards up in there. Did get the rollers...

Thanks for the assist Thanks D

sorry - had trouble embedding the vids

Wet test is right Filled, plugged in, small hmmm and pause, then action. As it turns out, after checking and following mikeyd's description... it is a gravity drain unit only. I tossed in one large cleaning rag and you can see by the vid it did not take long to dirty the water with that...

Seemed to work Ya, Grateful it looks like touch up instead of re-paint. I sprayed a liberal amount of WD-40 over the paint hoping it might absorb even a little and loosen. Not sure it helped, but in combination with ½ gallon of water to 1 cup concentrated pinesol and 1/8th cup lime away did...

fired up Most the day spent on trailer paint, grease and.... removal. For touch up of small scrapes or pit holes is hand and brush or spray the favored method. I plugged her in and with a quiet buzz the three fin started 180* agitating... cool. Dry test. Any advice on the wet test is...
