Matthew: Yes, indeed that would be me. Ron & Matthew: The oil I had first put in was Valvoline brand 75W-90 w/ limited-slip additive and I'm pretty sure that was what caused it to off-gas. I then ultimately replaced that with NAPA brand 80W-90 which is close enough, and it has no off-gasing...

Nice work! I just had to replace the one on my 92 Kenmore 70 series. Originally last year, I had replaced all the parts in mine except for the spin gear. Didn't think it looked too worn out, but then upon having run it with the new neutral drain parts mixed with the old spin gear, it was way...

Nice find Try finding one with a diamond/rhombus on the front! I wonder then if the black ones made by Gemline in those days had the same sounding 15 vane impeller....

NOS Pump I remember on my friend's 95 Kenmore that the pump (which was probably original) sounded higher pitched like the new ones. I think as soon as Whirlpool put the cross ribs on the front of the pump, they changed the impeller in it as well.

Aaaaand.... Machine has been sold today! Hopefully it'll go on to serve the next person well. Farewell!

SOLD today!

I've now listed this machine in the shopper's square forum. Anyone who wants it and can pick up, make offer!

Center-dial Kenmore 60 series 24" DD model 110.81362150, serial# C61703648. I'm selling this machine since I have no good place for it myself. If anybody wants it who will appreciate it for the fact that it's one of the more rare DDs out there, come take it to a good home! Make offer if...

Chet: Thanks! As for your question on the cycles, yes, it's just one spray rinse on the last spin cycle for all the cycles. Combo: Thanks John! I used one of my dad's seal drivers that he has in a kit to press everything into place. Nice! I bet the neutral drain works great on that one...

Wow, thought I added all the pics but I guess I didn't. Once again.....lol! Back together and running a few cycles through it. Had to replace the pump because I had the great idea to leave it sitting out in the cold shop through the winter here. Now it's noisy upon testing it. I thankfully...

Forgot to add photos lol

New seals & bearings are in! Took a brass wire wheel lightly to the inside of the center-post shaft to rid the rust from it. Finally, now everything can go back and hopefully, no more leaks!

Sean: Would 30W-100 non-detergent oil work in this case? Since that's all I could find.

Thanks Sean.

Hang on.... Did you mean to say *turbine* oil? Just making sure haha.

Thanks John!

Update: Well, I decided to just buy the seal & bearing kit from searspartsdirect.com and they just came today. What sort of grease do you recommend to put inside the tub support shaft?

That would be totally awesome to see come to fruition!

Ryne: That's exactly it. Sort of a whirring sound that grows when it cavitates. Newer machines have that with the pump but it's a lot higher pitched.
