Sounds like the internal contacts may be stuck or "welded" together. I have a 1939 Frigidaire and its still running on all original parts, maybe the compressor relay is stuck on as well, and that might be able to open and clean the contacts, but things changed to more sealed components after...

Maybe the threads are left-hand? Sometimes the motor shaft has a spot to use a rod or something as a hold-back while removing the coupling too, otherwise may have to take rear of motor apart to grab the rotor with a cushioned set of pliers as not to damage anything. Sometimes adding some heat to...

Thanks I had to do a good job, its in Mom's new basement kitchen! lol! I have so many "things" I'm just glad I have a former 1954 grocery store to have more room. I'll post some photos of random things.

Thanks, I did go to my local JD dealer about parts, they had the two drive belts in stock, and they actually were able to get me a piston and ring set for the Tecumseh engine in oversize .020, they were the last set they had at the vintage parts warehouse in Wisconsin so they said, the parts...

Very cool indeed! We have to make the parts we need sometimes, this is excellent work!

I find the best way to get these clean is with the Maytag wringer washer! Some Biz, Tide liquid, hot water and a long wash time... Seemed to do a good job anyway

I still need a lathe and Bridgeport, but I was able to fabricated some new hinge bracket supports and new hinge pins from steel rod. Got the oven door back on and can use it again. The cold weather is forcing me to get these little jobs done lol

Since it was -12F on New Years day and most of the week after, I decided to stay in the warm shop and start rebuilding this 1975 snow-blower, someone gave it to me around 5 years ago, engine was locked, after taking it apart found it was run out of oil. Took some searching for discontinued...

Warmed up to 14 today, felt great, another 6" of snow on top of the 6" we had over Christmas. Spent the day shoveling, only one of the three snow-blowers decided to start and of course it was the smallest of the three LOL. And now its slowly dropping to 1 degree F by 8am. The 50s Lennox furnace...

Liquid I've used liquid detergents in my wringer washers and have not noticed any issue or scent remaining after washing. That tide simply fresh is strong on the scent though, I did not use that.

Anyone has anyone called about them yet or looked at them? They are about 4.5 hour drive from me.

Nice machines Had a conversation with someone today about my vintage appliances, he ranted about his new washing machine only lasted 4 years, then he asked me why I collect vintage appliances... then he realized he answered his own question LOL

sad.. I also thought this was a calendar of members vintage appliances for 2018... Perhaps there should be one made

Be careful... Watch those raccoons! From what I hear they are going to end the human race in a few shorts years... They are very smart and know what they are doing LOL

This is neat Did anyone buy this yet? I keep thinking about it....hmmmm

Nice, Bavaria is great, I lived in BayerishGmain, within walking distance to Austrian border.

I read about Globe American Co which produced them for Maytag, seems they sold the company around 1955 and was basically out of business.

Digital has come a long way for sure...

Panthera, are you from Germany? I lived in Bavaria! The garbage system is very complicated I remember, everything separated, steel, plastic, glass, etc, then take it to town and put everything in its proper disposal container LOL, those were fun days indeed, miss the Alps and Salzburg at...

Too funny! Haha, that's great, something I'll be watching out for indeed!
