Upon having run a few more cycles through, the baseplate leak has seemed to mitigate itself for now. The pump leak still persists though. Thanks Melvin for the info. Know anybody that would carry those necessary seals and whatnot? Thanks Sean as well for that info.

BTW, the other leak definitely is a tub leak of some sort, not just tub ring gasket related. Having sat with water for about 20-30 minutes, it still leaks from the bottom of the tub onto the baseplate.

Pump leak?

It leaks.... Looks like from the center-post perhaps? I'm letting it sit with water as Sean suggested to see if it is otherwise just a tub ring gasket issue. Based on the fact that it's coming from under the tub down the baseplate in the back though? Don't know about that one....

Water test:

Thanks Sean, once again for the info. Thanks Todd!

Will this gasket still work?

Here some shots of it now as I'm cleaning the top of it.

Thanks guys! Thanks Sean for the oil info, I have 75W-90 gear oil, but it has that pesky limited-slip additive that causes it to absolutely REEK of gear oil when it runs! Dave: I'd be willing to bet it does have two speeds and a self-cleaning filter. Not sure exactly on the matching dryer...

I couldn't resist myself..... Dry test video:

Good to know on the detergent Sean. Upon closer inspection of the transmission, there is a little bit of oil on the bottom of the housing. Could be a bad oil seal, maybe?

Underside pics Besides needing vacuumed and wiped down good, not much rust anywhere that at least I can see. We'll see when I get a little further into it what it all needs. I appreciate your concern about the tub Sean. Will definitely keep that in consideration if and when the time comes...

Indeed, same here, not often I come across one in my general area. I remember I was super bummed when I lost out on the 1964 70 series suds-saver that popped up in my area a few years ago, but then found out that at least that one went to jons1077, so that one is in good hands in any case...

Thanks Mel, first belt-drive for me to ever even see in-person, let alone it be the first one for me to own myself! Super stoked!

Indeed, here she is! Just brought her home this evening. Model# 110.82270620, Serial# C31101688 (11th week/March of 1983) Overall looks pristine on the outside, save for some dirt & filth here and there. Owner said barely used and had been in the family since new. Paid $100. Will test her...

Hmmmm.....maybe?

What's this????

Not necessarily. All the parts having been replaced should help it work better.

Thanks Matthew. Indeed that machine went to somebody who was putting in a new camper and his father in-law is an appliance guy so any repairs needed in the future shouldn't be an issue for them.
