Plus... I am already pretty far into this project. It is too late to wonder if it is worth it hah. But it is to me.

Once I fix this machine, I will likely have a washer that lasts my entire lifetime. And I am only 22.

Nah it is a very simple machine, just built kind of weird. And I think using it would be fun. I have never even seen one in action until I got this machine and it will be an interesting, fun, and meditative experience. Plus I can agitate for as long as I want, add as much water as i want, and as...

Thank you! And yes! I am excited! And those bolts are destroyed so I will have to get new ones anyway lol. And nice! Have a great time wiring your boat!

I lifted out the clutch pinion gear and cleaned it very well. It has a small bit of damage on it, but I think it will be alright for a very long time still.

It is true! And thank you! I got the screw extractor set and used it, and it completely destroyed the bolt heads, but that left nothing holding the center plate holding the power unit, except for that weird extra little screw, which I could not even find the head of. I used the extractor on...

I cannot get them out. Tried hammering, PB blaster, more hammering, i cant grab them with vice grips, I dont think I can reach them to cut a slot in them, I dont have a torch to heat them up, and the teeth are stripped. I want a screw extractor set. Maybe that will work.

The 2 gulmite bolts on the center plate to the PU are very stuck. I'll try som WD-40 tomorrow.

I got it! And water poured out of just the connection between the PU and the RAD!

Ok I got it off the bottom bolt, so that just leaves it being stuck to the RAD.

How in TF How the heck do you get the power unit out? I got the shifter rod disconnected, all 3 bolts out of the horizontal drive, and that bottom bolt mostly out. The bottom bolt just keeps turning and has the braces pushed away from the PU. The horizontal drive also will not separate from the...

Hmm thank you! I will look more inte the L.A. ones. Did they imptove on them? And that is cool you can talk to the actual engineer! I do still hope to find an old one. And yeah I don't want a twin tub lol. Too much stuff I wont use.

Hmm interesting. I dont know if I am worried about lint or not. I do feel like maybe an auto removes more lint because of all the holes and the spinning with water. And I have read some not so great reviews of the Laundry Alternative's spinners. How is the quality on them? Is the basket...

Sorry did not mean to post twice. The site on my phone is being really wonky right now.

Oh I think I should be alright with the height then, since I am 6'1", and no girls will be using my washer, and it will take years for me to grow my hair that long haha! I would have to experience using it though to tell for sure what height I like. The portable washer idea is cool! Those are...

Me too! And oh yeah! Though I will have other things mixed in so I am not sure how much I will get done this weekend, but at least cleaning the power unit out. And oh, how come? Why adjust the height? And yeah I will be cleaning the wheels. The machine can be tipped over frontwards without it...

I believe the oil on the wringer post leg is from that crossbar that connects to it that catches all of the breather hole's drippings. That crossbar is filled with oil! Though I am sure my other gaskets arent in great shape.
