Now the motor is out and has been taken apart and put back together! I replaced the cord, gave it a ground wire, measured to make sure the ground works, cleaned out the dust bunnies, grease the unused end of the shaft, brake cleaned the outside of the motor, and inside of the end caps of the...

The tub is out! I will post the "before" pics later.

Thanks to Larry, I got the wrench!

A small update: The wrench should be arriving tomorrow, and the parts are on their way as of tuesday! I should be able to start the teardown tomorrow night! Or if not, then in the next couple days!

Man there is grease coming from a lot of places lol. I got some break cleaner to spray on anything greasy to clean it up. And oh yeah I bought gloves for sure! My hands had that grease on them for days after just carrying that machine! It also ruined my good pants, though maybe when the machine...

The last pic is a pic of the wringer head, the lower roller drive. It is leaking grease. Mark told me it could be oil from the wringer post too. But I am pretty sure it is mostly oil that has escaped with water from the power unit out the breather hole, then dripped onto that cross bar and...

And I do have a couple pictures so far! Of the current oil leaks my machine has!

The wringer washer world is sort of like the vinyl record and analog photography world in that it is vintage and unique and interesting. It just is not a very big movement lol.

No prob! I feel a little bit compelled to help the wringer washer community stay alive, so that maybe people 50 years from now could still use these machines and even repair them if they have to, including me, as I would like to use this machine as my washer for my entire life.

New Parts Sources My wrench should be arriving soon, and Mark is going to be sending my first box of parts tomorrow. So that is all exciting! I have an update of interest for anyone looking for parts: First, Mark is an excellent, helpful source for parts. He is very knowlageable and is willing...

Hah yes! I should have the wrench in my hands roughly around next thursday!

Hmm, Larry told me that there is no way to actually see the bearings when you take it out. And that would also mean no way to grease it without figuring out how to separate the bearings from the center plate. The shaft does have some side to side play and barely any up and down play. It turns...

Larry just sent me his wrench, so soon I will be able to take the machine apart! (Thank you Larry!) He brought up a point that my bearings may need to be replaced, otherwise I may still get water in the PU. Instead of replacing the bearings, you pretty much have to get a new center plate...

Oh true! I have not! I just bought the wrench from phil. I was a little afraid to risk it getting away as it had a second watcher. I would also much rather have the correct tool rather than have to destroy the bolts and risk them getting stuck in there forever. Then I'd have to get a new center...

I heard back from a seller of the 33 point socket, and they said it is .78 inches on the inner diameter. The gulmite bolts heads are 1/2 inch. So I think they are a no go, unless there is a half inch sized one somewhere. .

Better pic of the inside.

Here are pics of the pump housing after it soaking in citric acid for days, and being scrubbed. I will be getting an entire new one as this is ruined. It has raises bumps in it, and the second pic shows what I think is where water leaked through slowly. The holes and missing paint on the outside...

Oh yes! I will have to take a new video, but sure!

Okay here is the video of the machine being demonstrated. It shows the wringer doing its naughty buisness. http://https//youtu.be/O4tOXcDlBEw

Yes it does do that. It does it sometimes without anything in it. One of the index slide's teeth is also broken off. I am ordering a new one of those. I have a list of parts coming now. I do have a video of it. I just have to get around to posting it.
