Another tip for easy extraction and future disassembly is Anti-Seize. I apply this to the motor shaft before the fan and impeller assembly. 

On assemlby of the pump you want to take extra precautions as its a real pain to work on PERIOD. What I do is clean all mating surfaces, then I apply a coat of rubber cement to all surfaces that contact the mounting sides of gaskets. See the pick, cement under the rubber face seal, rubber...

Wow after all the company here is an update Speaking to Ben I decided -prudently NOT to skip the disassembly of the brake plate. Good thing most of the crud was between the plates! Not a nice way to start out a new charge of lube-0-matic oil is it??   Todays' job careful gasket cutting...

YAY Love Seal All !!! TOO!   Ive just updated my work too.

OMG! Thank heavens Us Bostonians are Fastidious!! My Bull Terriers wouldn't ever let that bowl sit closed for more than ten minutes- believe me! My mom had that same shopping list with pegs, lasted 10 years before all the pegs broke or were vacuumed up by the monstrous Kirby!  

NASTY FIND I've reworked many UNIMATICS but none that had water intrusion. What I found today was nasty and it was in such a small spot I couldnt take a picture so I'll have to describe it and use Doctrine.      Opening up the oil pump I found water + detergent crud !!! Disassembly revealed...

QC- PASSED Nutator,  passes hand manipulation.                  https://youtu.be/1Rw842jkMzc             

HA! Just learned something I didnt know that thingy on the tranny below the solenoid was not a drip pan but  a SPARK CATCHER !!     

Next up the the Rusty clutch assembly. Tomorrows job. Once its all back together, I will fill it with MMOIL and let it run a few hours, then drain! MMOIL unsized my BMW engine when I did the same and then that engine ran to 320,000 miles. You should have seen what drained out!  Magic!

For reassembly You have to align the taper holes correctly, on the crankshaft and crank gear, inserting the taper when the parts are loose will tell you the orientation. Assemble in the cage and you can drive the taper in. Then you have to stake the hole so the taper stays in.  The final test...

Here are some examples of carbon burn The crank gear bearing, and the nutator pin. Before and after, I used 400 grit to start and finished with 1500 for a mirror  polish.

Today I got the entire crankmechanism out and apart except for the nutator/oscillator, the drift pin will not budge. So some overnite thought on the subject made me remember the magic of Marvel Mystery Oil to clean the oil galleys out.  I was able to remove the taper pin in the crank gear...

All apart My assessment is all parts that can be completely disassembled will be and hopefully the motor safety tripped and no burn out there , testing that comes after the mechanicals.  The crank mechanism is jamming in one spot.      [this post was last edited: 10/1/2020-11:38]

Okay we have some updates The transmission and motor and pump were seized. I was in luck in that there was enough play I could get the trunnion, crankshaft off the motor drive pin!    You can see the rust crust here and you have know that the oil galleys will be clogged!  Gawd knows what...

Ben can you use a hammer on that tool for impact??  

Ben I might need that bearing tool. The spin bearing is seized, which is why the tub was locked solid. Mechanism disassembly begins today, I have reviewed doctrine to refresh my mind. We are going in People!  

SO SO COOL What a find, I can believe in reverse tumble top loaders again! I hated my Launderall and it hated me and caught on fire LOL! Do you see any patent numbers on the machines, I want to do some digging/  

Cool And the Tarbell - Watters was the wholesaler, worked between your Dad and the Factory?  

Paul a big thank you for the brochure! Mike fun to now see it was the 1100 as I had remembered a chrome ring around the window but no chrome square door so I was confused. What cool machines. Louis I hope  you find a Schulthess ( skuthis??) machine those cards are pretty cool tool.   Gotta...

Eddie got some this year off Amazon from Germany It was $75/box not cheap.  Frederico, why do you think liquids have more enzymes than powders?
