    ballast ring rusted through, can this tub be saved ?

    thanks Gary. good ideas. Funny you should mention that. I scrap metal truck came by yesterday to pick up my old BBQ. He had an old Inqlis washer in the back but I couldn't tell if the tub was the same or not. He gave me his card and told me he could be on the look out for one and let me know.

    ballast ring rusted through, can this tub be saved ?

    I don't have a pic of the top lip of the outer tub yet. When i felt it I think it was probably rusty inderneath. But holding. I will be working on this repair. I have included a close up image (with some artistic photoshoping to make it stand out) of the main rusted out hole on the ballast...

    ballast ring rusted through, can this tub be saved ?

    Hi Tim: I guess you don't know that I like challenges :) The reason I have not bought a new tub in the fist place is that the stairs to the basement were renovated and nothing gets in or out this size. Unless I do some major wall demolition. So I have tried to make this machine work again...

    ballast ring rusted through, can this tub be saved ?

    Hi all Sounds like there is no fixing this old inner tub. I have touched the rubber boot and it seems flexible. Looks good from the bottom fo the machine. Its the upper larger O ring that rusted right off. I know where to get one nearby new. So the rubber boot might be saved. Im in Toronto...

    ballast ring rusted through, can this tub be saved ?

    tiny gray granuals in outlet water

    I was just reading that these machines sometimes did not have a balance ring in them. Instead "These washers are quite different from others in that the tub is attached to the cabinet, rather than the transmission. If there is an imbalance, only the basket and drive train wobbles; not the whole...

    tiny gray granuals in outlet water

    Can't be from what was being washed because initially I was just running water through the machine without any clothes. The machine has not been touched for about 10 years. I replaced the water pump. At the same time I looked and noticed the tub boot was a bit leaky on the outside. This...

    tiny gray granuals in outlet water

    Hi all. New here. Fascinating site. I just started up my mom's late 80's or 1991 Beaumark Heavy Duty Washing machine. I replaced the pump. It was one of those old style GE pumps. The machine was not used at all for about 10 years. I ran a program with some water and tons of this grey colored...
