    Need some help with restoring a Pink 1960's E2LP

    Leaking tub on my Maytag wringer washer

    Welcome The machine you have described is a round porcelain Tub? Correct. Your pics didn't load. Do you have a pump? Or is it gravity drain? I presume you have checked the hose to see if it has a hole. ( I know it sounds simplistic. but I hope it is what is wrong.) And with a bright light...

    No luck. It's still stuck. I don't think penetrating oil is the answer either. I've detailed cleaned the body. Removing the oil down the leg and around the wringer, The grease and gunk in the castors. Tons of animal hair in the castors. This was most likely used in a horse barn for blankets...

    Need some help with restoring a Pink 1960's E2LP

    Well .....pull while running?? It's an idea. Don't know how to make that work. My brain says hum. kinda dangerous. Drilling a hole and trying penetrating rust remover is less forceful. I have the other one out of Pinkie. I really want to put in a new water seal. So guess we have to do what...

Should be much more efficient..LOL. We are going to fashion a type of puller similar to the one in the manual to try to remove the...
