even more 1959 Whirlpool, nearly TOL. Works well, and has the 3 solenoid water valve. Cold cool warm medium hot, pretty cool. Wash N Wear water temps means cold rinse. Standard water temps usually means warm rinse. Plenty of flexibility. Year of my birth, 1959, so of course it's a favorite.

More closeups 1973 or 74 Speed Queen, BOL for sure, 1 speed, smaller porcelain tub instead of stainless. No banging solenoids, it's the later reversing motor type from 73?) to the end in 79(?). FUN AS HELL, only solid tub I've ever owned. You're seeing everything, 2 knobs total

I'm ready for my close-up 3 pics, close up of controls 1960 Whirlpool Imperial Mark 12. The unmarked button if ofr if you bought the suds model. I changed things around and turned this into a suds model.

and more Gas 1974 Kenmore, one of my favorites because I can turn off the buzzer. Next is 1992 gas Kenmore, buzzer will not shut up, I got it for $20 since a dummy 2 blocks away did not know how to replace a $16 HSI. It's got the extended back of the drum, great for big blankets, etc, a million...

driers Some gas, some electric. 1st is the matching drier to the 1959 washer, Whirpool near TOL, has a weird pilot that lights itself at the start of the cycle. Next is 1978 Frigidaire 1-18 drier, gas, I trust the timed dry more than the automatic sensing on this one.HUGE drum. It's matching...

more First 2 pics are 1960 Whirlpool Imperial Mark 12, the most complete and thorough re-build I've ever done. 3rd pic is a mid 70's Maytag A208 suds, works well but currently out of the lineup, as is a working 1977 GE Filter Flo suds model, needs some work on the suds valve.

1974 Kenmore Suds model, HUGE TUB, everything works well except pesky dispensers. 1973 or 74 Speed Queen solid tub, small porcelain tub, single speed, new pump this month and works perfectly. last 2 pics are 1959(my birth year) Whirlpool suds model, 2 speed, new capacitor last week and running...

new capacitor was all it took Running well again, 61 years old

cool The off-center handle and window are pretty fun

more Check out that dirt on the motor mount, did I have the belt too tight and that's rubber?

Ran fine til early 2018 when I took it out of the lineup for some other washer. Now I put it back in service and no motor! First thing I did was take the belt off, still no motor, so now it's off the machine. Everything looks like it's original. I wasn't impressed with some rust and dirt...

Thank you Excellent threads come from excellent work! Congratulations and thank you

work perfectly And I simply tightened the belts and it's running well. For years I had to micro-tighten/micro manage the belts to keep it running, all the while it was that pump just fading horribly. This is one of the all time fun washers, one of my all time faves! And that grease port will...

delivered Smaller diameter pump, but the port aims the correct way. I will install tonight. And it has a grease port, upscale!

Thank you Martin, John, Eugene I bought the pump from Cleveland, it is probably from Eugene, and I have the original base if I need to change it. I don't think I'll know until it arrives, and more pics then for sure!

more on pump Sears s direct and another for Speed Queen DA3780 both say the pump is #25178, and Ebay has one for $50 right in Cleveland. My machine is the LATE MODEL reversing motor type, not the 50-60's to 71 or 72 solenoid type assembly. For sure hoping to get the correct pump! Link is to...

My SQ ST ran pretty well for about 3.5 years, then last fall I had to get a big channel locks on the pump shaft to unseize it if it sat more than 2 or 3 days. Finally it wouldn't budge and so the motor would overheat and kick off. With 4 other washers hooked up and running, I just moved it...

this one deserves pics

update the handle broke Feb 6, I've had 3 Ebay searches going daily since then. Here's what I just bought: Side note on Ebay Searches: I searched for HOTPOINT REFRIGERATOR HANDLE for 14 weeks. It turns out there's a porn flick, She's Too HOT To HANDLE, and the movie producers sell...
