Nice...... I’m glad You took the shot. Aim small, miss small. I was hesitant too but once I got the impeller out I knew I made the right decision. A little clean’n and lube made my impeller spin like a top. You made my day by doing it. Now I know I’m not the only one that tried. I also just...

Mine is the same. There is 3 screws on my water pump that I took off and the pump pulled apart like a clam. If your’s is like that, just cut a gasket to fit and your leak should be gone. Then you can run an electric aquarium pump but I would take to just fix your original. My pump isn’t...

My pump was leaking too so I decided to take it apart and cut my own gasket and install just to stop the leak. I wasn’t planning on using the pump because gravity was good enough for me but once I had it open, I could see it was a very easy fix. Well more like just cleaning and a little lube and...

I love those stories wayupnorth. Thanx for chiming in Ok Jeb thanks for that info. I’ll take a look at that. I didn’t think there should be that much water coming out either.

Thanks for the tip Eddie. I’ll do exactly that. It’s so amazing how well this old Gal washes.. I wore my work jeans to work today and I didn’t stink. Hahahaha. She’s very aggressive when agitating so I just ran Her for about 6 mins per load. Seems like that was perfect. I just like to think of...

Thanx Brad. I enjoy you’re videos too. I want to find a beat up one so I can shoot some paint on Her. I’m having so much fun washing clothes now. It’s time consuming but fun.

Thanks Eddie. I found one from the 30’s but the guys want $135 plus $50 shipping. That’s a little to rich for my blood. Im not into the new stuff

Well..... I think this is as far as I can go. That was a very interesting project. Thank you guys so much for helping me. Everything seems to be working like it should. I still need to learn how to operate everything correctly. You’ll notice the Wringer is spinning the wrong way. Hahahaha damn...

I don’t know anything about these. 1st one. I’m eyeball’n an old Maytag right now though. Looks like all the paint is off so I can try and fully restore it. Paint and all..... Here’s some pictures of the Wringer. Let me know if this is what you were looking for. Everything seems to work...

Hey Brad. I’m no expert but I’ve been messing with this old gal for a week now and all I can think of what that top lever and side lever is, is some sort of safety. On the side lever if I turn it counterclockwise it’ll lock the top of the Wringer down. If I push down on that top lever, it’ll...

Thanks golittlesport.... Yeah I’ve been searching for any information on this one for about a week now and there’s absolutely nothing out there. Oh well, maybe someday something will pop up. Until then, I have to construct some sort of clothes line so I can finally use Her the right way. Right...

I’m not going to do anything else to the body. Just a little warm water and a sponge bath.. I sent some pictures to the George Westinghouse museum and they don’t know anything about this Wringer. What the heck is going on here???? I’ve been digging for a few days now and I can’t find anything.

Hey Brad. The 1st picture is where the tub drains into the water pump. The 2nd picture is where the water get pushed out. It works great now. The water shoots out about 15 feet. I can control how much pressure I have with the 3rd picture. It’s actually pretty amazing how the pump works. The...

I’m already there. I’m going to go check this one out tomorrow...

RP2813 I live down in the harbor. Wilmington Ca. Come on by. Those Big 3’s are beautiful. If I get that one I would use it for sure. I painted the lid with the best match I could find. It’s a little light than the tub. This morning there was a puddle of water underneath the machine. The...
