Yes It can be on its side. It may rupture a dried up boot but those can be replaced.

Script differences Here’s the comparison of the ‘68 to a ‘70 panel

Based on the panel cursive I believe it’s 1969

Ooooh I’d be all over that one

I have previously had borrow the bearing tool needed to pull and place bearings in the belt-drive washer spin tube. I’ve still not had any success in finding one for myself and now need it again for the 1973 Kenmore I just picked up. If anyone has one they’d like to sell or allow me to borrow, I...

Email me please What machines are still up for grabs. I can look into arranging shipping

GE I’m interested in this GE. I was having email issues so maybe you didn’t get the email.

Thanks for posting this I’ll have to snag me a brown softener dispenser one of these days. It does not have a manual filter. I cycled the dial and looks like it does the double fill-agitate cooldown as well. This will be a fun set!

First test Wigwag is working fine. She needs new spin tube bearings. Smooth agitation though. I’m thinking the tub brake might be a little too snug causing too much drag on the spin startup. If anyone has a whirlpool belt-drive bearing tool I could use I would very much appreciate it!

Serial and model tags 1973 models: washer made in April, dryer made in June.

So… I still blame John and Jason for this little Kenmore bug I caught a handful of years ago. Fancy models are great of course but I kinda like these workhorse models, too. I remember reading and watching videos of a member’s refurbishing of the “green beast” Kenmore 60 and I loved that. These...

Nice Very interested as well. Let me know if there are no takers.

Congrats! I have an old slant front washer that I believe is mechanically sound but no door boot or latch. It’s in rough shape so, that being said, it may have parts useful to you. Let me know if you’re interested because I’m happy to break it down or you can take the whole machine. I’m in the...

Sold Any word on who got it?

‘67? Same model as the 1967 whirlpool I picked up a little while back. Very close cousin to the Kenmore 70 series I have as well. Nice machine!

Nice I’d be up for getting it if I knew where it was located.

1976 Dispensall I have a 1976 model. Dispensall function on this machine was lost some time before I got it. I imagine the timer was swapped at some point. The diverting mechanism is gone. This one was total crusher material but I revived it and it’s a good machine.

KitchenAid I gravitate towards Hobart-made Kitchenaids. Depending on how vintage you want to go, Whirlpool machines were quite good as well.

Wedtinghous I believe this washer is the same model predecessor to my set which I believe is from around 1974. Like John said, these were not durable machines. Rather “affordable” is how I’d describe them. My set had very little use so they survived with the washer only needing a new belt...

Fortunately I have my dream set One of the first sets I collected: 3-speed avocado green filter-flo.
