Pretty much everyone at my wife' work knows how much an appliance freak I am. One of the ladies told my wife that they were going through her great aunt' house and that it was loaded with old stuff and specifically mentioned there was a pre-'70s washer and dryer in the basement. Of course I...

What's that push-button beauty Mark is standing in front If memory serves me, I believe what is called a "frogeye" washer and the matching dryer is there also. Kenmore I believe. That dishwasher is going home with Chris, you should have seen the puddle of drool when he found it. lol I did...

oh my gosh That was a fantastic day for sure. Chris, Travis, Lou and I had a great visit and Chris and I got to see a lot of stuff. Ok Chris, where's the pictures of you? HMmmmmm? Mark

What about good 'ole soap Wife and I use good 'ole Granny's Lye Soap. Does wonders for just about every stain you can imagine. Wet the fabric thoroughly, rub the bar on the stain then using your fingers work the soap into the fabric. Let it sit for about 30-45 minutes and throw it in the...

WOW that's a lot of oil!!!! Pete, No wonder your brake didn't work and the tub wouldn't come up to speed. That's a lot of oil! I was looking at the recent pictures you have posted and noticed what appears to be a lot of shavings around the end where the agitator shaft exits the spin tube...

Wringer that is........listed on Craigslist in St. Louis. Kind of pricy I think but I don't know squat about wringers. Mark http://stlouis.craigslist.org/atq/1712744933.html

brakes, is it really that important wow, i haven't had a problem with my '65. The tub comes to a complete stop within 10-15 seconds after the spin cycle is complete. On the late '64 to '66 machines a lot of the brake action was due to how tight the nut was that holds that whole assembly onto...

forgot to mention something Pete When you get to the point of re-assembling the clutch the bronze bushing must be put back into the same position that it came out. I learned this the hard way when I rebuilt my Roller-Matic. I put everything back together and the brake wouldn't work. I took...

what can i use to clean up and degrease the clutch linings? Pete, I don't know if it would be possible to "degrease" the linings. If you do try I wouldn't use any kind of petroleum based cleaner on it. If it were me I might try brake cleaner or acetone. It would break down the grease and...

Second The second clutch disk is under the clutch plate that separated the 2 disks. (see picture) It is held in place by the bronze bushing in the clutch/brake housing. The only way to get the 2nd clutch disk out is to "carefully" drive the bronze bushing out of the center of the housing. If...

put it back and tried it out, tub will not come up to speed. Pete, From what what the pictures shows it appears that someone has oiled that mechanism at some point, that's why the clutch lining has oil on it. Roller-matic mechanisms weren't designed to be oiled. The bronze bushings used were...

is there any other advise on this clutch assembly? Pete here is a picture of the clutch assembly. This one is a '65 but they are pretty much the same up to '68 or '69. The adjustment the Tech manual is talking about is the 3 screws on the outer edge. All 3 screws can be tightened to increase...

YES IT DOES! Thanks Kevin! I thought it should be but wasn't for sure what to use on it. Already have a bottle of turbine oil around somewhere so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again for the info! Mark

A while back I posted that my '65 Tourquoise Maytag dryer was making an aweful racket and come to find out the bushing in the "reduction pulley" had completely chewed itself up. Finally tracked one down after searching and calling about 30 different warehouses and now I have a question before...

You gonna get it Mark? I'm thinking about it, for that price it's kind of hard to pass up. Now the problem is getting it into the basement without the wife finding out. lol She loves the convienence of have the ability of using 7 washers at once but she also thinks I have a hoarding...

Listed on Craigslist in St. Louis. Anyone know about what year it might be? Mark

This popped up on my yahoo home page and thought it would be good to share. Most of the steps outlined make a lot of sense to me. How doe you all load your dishwasher? I tend to organize everything so there is more space for all the dishes that need to be washed. My wife on the other hand...
