I have a mid 70’s gas stove that’s barely able to get to 500 Degrees so I use the broil setting. I just buy store bought dough made in Tarrytown NY, Oscar Mayer thick bacon I par cook, use Bel Gioso mozz, and a 14oz can of Cento Italian tomatoes I crush by hand. Then add some Pecorino or...

A general rule of thumb...... On Maytag brake assemblies when applied is if they sound like a semi truck hauling 40 tons that just anchored its brakes and locked all its tires making a groaning noise that can be heard blocks away then its time to add a tablespoon of oil LOL. Just kidding.

Gotta love the $1652.00 a year tax on it. My parents paid $5000.00 a year tax on a 3 family balloon frame house on a 50'X 150" postage stamp lot 20 years ago in CT LOL

I would replace both those bearings while they're out for peace of mind. Just add a teaspoon of oil to the brake package ( SAE90?) the splines and rust can be cleaned with a coarse then fine wire brush. Wire wheel on a drill is even better.

Bleach dispenser Here’s what I have. Hoses are stiff as a board, but it is winter in the garage lol. If interested PM me. Thx

Sadly its already been parted and the cabinet and outer tub put at the curb. Im sure the local scrap yard has already shredded it. I'll text a pic later of the dispenser and associated parts of it I saved and if interested you can PM me. Thanks.

Took the switch apart yet again tonight. Cleaned all the contacts and the plastic pieces with electronic spray to remove any dirt. Still no change, sometimes it would start on its own but very sluggish instead of a quick snap, it would also start in both directions oddly. Took the switch apart...

I didnt have time to mess with it today but will try and give that switch a real good once over again. If its still not working perfect I'll have to keep an eye out for an NOS one.

I did, its nice and free. I cleaned it with CRC electronics spray. I may try and clean all the contacts in the switch again and spray all the parts with the CRC as well that slide. Which configuration runs the motor in low speed?

Trans service Sounds like a plan thanks. I'll just pic up the gear oil at the parts store. I looked at my NOS nylon pinion gear and it doesnt have any holes for the pin. Should I worry about this? I already have a trans gasket. I'll clean it out with kerosene and dry it before adding the oil...

Spent a bit of time on the motor today. Figured the wiring was color coded the same as the abbreviations in the video. Got it to run both directions no problem but can’t figure out the wiring for low speed. I took apart the starting switch and cleaned the burnt contacts but it only slightly...

Here’s the motor. gsd-dan the shaft spins freely, no binding at all. Looks like it’s color coded not marked with letters. Which terminals do I use for testing? [this post was last edited: 1/22/2022-18:09]

I'll deff test that today thanks! Does this motor have a start winding or is that box a capacitor as well? I know it runs on two speeds if I spin it by hand but it will not start by itself, even with the belts off. It just hums. Thanks.

gsd-dan I’m wondering if this motor is good. When I had the machine in spin mode I switched it to gentile spin as it slowed down so I know both speeds work. It just doesn’t start by itself. How do I test that? Combo52 believe it or not the splines are perfect and smooth. The agitator was stuck...

I saved the tub cover but it will need some POR-15 or zinc chromate primer on the lip as its got some heavy rust. The stainless band was all distorted in back like a repairman messed it up and hid it. I would like to put the tub light on my 407 and figure a way to make a lighted panel for it as well

Today was the big day I finally would be able to meet my friend for the free A806 washer. It’s amazing how much better things look in the dark. Got it outside and it looked pretty rough and rusty on the bottom of the cabinet. Start winding on motor burned out or connectors too corroded. Once I...

1. Home is gas, my 4 vehicles are diesel   2. No   3. No   4. Yes   5. Nuclear accidents too hazardous for too long. Ratio of buildings blowing up from gas leaks far lower than car, train, or plane crashes, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, or terrorist attacks to die from/in.   6...

Mining for those batteries isnt the most environmentally friendly procedure either. But they mostly come from China and the Chinese govt  doesnt care about its own people let alone the planet.

" If electric rates fluctuated like they apparently do for NG I'd have wet panties too. "   <strong> Here in CT The United Illuminating Co raised rates 50% for homeowners several years ago and a little more than that for commercial users. And they got away with it, even raising them again a...

Cutting cords/plugs Its a liability issue because we have so many stupid people in the country these days that would buy something vintage with a frayed cord, take it home and plug it in either shock themselves or start a fire in their house. Then proceed to sue the place they bought it from...
