It’s going to be running like new before you know it. There was definitely water in the gearcase. It’s not the worst one I’ve seen. The belt is original with a date of 4/86.

The actual washer you’re looking for is a 1980 model 80 series. The model number is 110.82081100.

That was a great read. Thanks for posting.

I’ll take items 3, 4, and 12 please.

You are going to need a new agitator shaft. I can see from picture one that it is rusted in the seal area and that’s what caused the water in the gearcase. As Dan suggested I would tear the machine apart before ordering parts to make sure it will actually be able to be rebuilt properly.

The belt would be a 96388.

Very cool David! Thanks for sharing.

There are manuals available for download in the manuals and literature section on this site. I should have spare braces if you can’t find any. Here are a couple good threads from the archives...

Congrats on a nice find. All of those machines look to be in great condition.

Congrats on your find. This will be a fun and rewarding project to complete. There are many threads you can search for here on rebuilding whirlpool belt drives. There is a lot of knowledge here so ask questions. Can’t wait to see your progress.

Yes sir. Lol

I feel the same way about whirlpool and kenmore belt drive washers. I bring home everyone I come across but they’re rare in this area these days. I may only find a couple a year.

The inside dimensions are not here and you may have seen this already but I’ll post anyway. https://pdf.lowes.com/productdocuments/08cd85a6-3a96-4158-893b-c6ad5055ee46/47843295.pdf

Very cool as always David. Congratulations on another refrigerator project well done. That is a good looking refrigerator.

Congratulations on your repairs. This dryer was actually built in 1968.

They look great! Congrats!

Here’s three: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176622114221?_skw=22204012&itmmeta=01JAETW8MBVJEHQXQTXTTJ0XBS&hash=item291f7f95ad:g:iisAAOSw4n1nCIxo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkhbvZf2SL8KV3xkBCVcRRlBQFaKk4uUkau9Gzh1opFRPRWNJI7UMQUw6ybYKw4KMr%2F5IrnoVAqQnLDu7iy

Yes I would say the dryer is older than the washer. The washer is a 1980-1984 10 series sudsaver.

Congratulations Ben! I’m very happy you’re able to create this for your hobby. Like you this is something I’ve wanted to do for many years. Unfortunately for me we don’t have basements so not only do these cool machines not exist in the dark corner forgotten for someone to find and restore many...

Hi Gordon, the belt was actually for the dryer. I agree about the GE motors versus Emerson. I’ve hoarded multiple nos Emerson motors over the years.
