Top seals DADeOS, I'll look into getting new seals, thanks for the info. If they really never did anything to the transmission, then it actually stayed in really good shape for it's age. I made sure to fix the motor shaft with a file and a piece of Emery cloth. Sean, I think you're probably...

Well, I was able to clean the rest of the gear parts off and dry them. Now to assemble them back together. Cleaned the clutch up as well, much better. This one has notches cut on opposite sides of the clutch drum edges. Not sure why they did that, but maybe it was a feat. of that era...

Center-dial Kenmore DD Slung oil:

Also, That clutch will need cleaning from all the oil that splashed up onto it somehow. There's oil that has been flung around the bottom of the machine which may have been one of the reasons why the transmission was likely refurbished.

Then, On to the main reason for pulling the machine apart: I wanted to check the oil in the transmission. It always would sound like it was low on oil, if that makes sense, and if anyone even knows what that sounds like. Well, upon doing so, (I should have gotten pics) the oil level was...

So I've been working on my 4th spare machine that has sat for over a year in storage, starting yesterday from the time of writing this. The good news is that it still ran when I tested it. The bad news is that after having taken it apart, it will now need two parts definitively replaced, due...

DADoES, Do you know if there's a way to get to the POD library? I only know how to see the current one, but wasn't sure if there was a way to see the archives or not. Anywhos, just found that and got real excited I guess...

What I found on Google: So this design IS 1970's! Maybe not quite this design exactly, but they were just in the beginning stages of engineering what would ultimately become the DD. From 1979--however on Google, it actually says it was filed in 1978...

Here's one that appears to be branded RCA itself, sorry I don't have a better picture:

Agiflow I think it was 47 they came out with the belt drives, IIRC.

Not RCA, but still interesting and beautiful. Another ad, why do I always think of Mary Tyler Moore when I see these ads...

1962 RCA Whirlpool Supposedly, it was never used at the time of the listing, and may have even made an appearance on TV, for all I know. Wonder if anybody from here got it... https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-1962-rca-whirlpool-washer-1695260422

Here ya go!

Gotcha Didn't realize they still made those in pink by then.

The only pic I have: One that I saw for sale a long time ago. I'd wager circa 1960, maybe?

Chet: I'd say normally, about maybe 4-6 loads a week. But that will probably change when I get my other two machines in service.

Since I didn't post about it in this thread already... My 1992 Kenmore 70 series DD that still works perfectly to this day, all on original parts except for the agitator dogs (2014), and timer (2018). Also my 1989 Lady Kenmore 27" electric dryer in almond. All original except for belt and...

Resting place(s) for now.
