Liberator twin These photos are a little rubbish as the machine is back together so it’s difficult to see the undercarriage !!! Your right Keith the black plugs fill in the holes where the filter flow hose would have passed through and the other is where the suds return was on the 1420 ...

The EE TWIN TUB It’s funny the liberator twin has the same wash deck as the 1420 and there is place for the filter flow nozzle ......the valve box is the same as well so will get some photos when I get home .... The EE is a great machine and lovely to use ..... not a brilliant design but still...

Pump seals Hi I’ve used the Dexter pump seals and they work great about $15 a piece

Water heaters In the Uk at the time when the Bendix was being sold most houses in the UK didn’t have a easy supply of hot water . Most homes were heating water from back boilers fuelled by coal fired or solid fuel boilers . Therefore a heater in the bendix was brilliant . The water can be...

Pump seal part number This is the one

Try laundry Pro I’ve just got new seals for a couple of machines I’m doing up from laundry Pro in Lakeland Florida . I managed to get pump seals and also the bearing seals as a complete kit . Another AW friend directed me to them with part numbers . They are for the Dexter machines but fit...

The Bells The Bells ....... Well the bell indicator came from an antique market/ junk . The bell itself and the Bakelite switch came from Ian Hazelhurst another good friend! It runs off a 12 volt transformer and Mathew Thomas tested the transformer to make sure we weren’t about to blow the box...

This is the seal profile This is the type of seal and because the profile is so small I got two of them into the pump housing . This gave 4 water barriers on the shaft as each seal is a double . Ideally the seal works better on a stainless steel drive shaft but I cleaned the drive shaft up...

Seal The impeller is an alloy and I wonder if depending on the state of the screw hole you could re thread the hole and get a replacement screw to fit the resized screw hole . An alternative could be to seal the existing damaged screw hole up and bore a new hole completely on the opposite side...

Keep the faith Cam about a year ago I was looking for a replacement pump valve for a Bendix LT . I searched high and low to see if I could get one and approached a chap to make me one . It was cost prohibitive£130 ish from what I remember then by chance I looked and found something in China...

A two man job I’ve had the same problem with the machines I’ve worked on !! I applied loads of heat from a flamed blow torch not a hot air heated version . Once the screw is out I tapped the impeller with a small chisel and small hammer where the drive shaft goes into the impeller . At the...
