That Smell. Hi Gary, Ew, I know the smell you are talking about. One of mine has that, I think it may be due from when it sit's for a long period's and that smell absorbs into the plastic from some water and build up in the various pump hoses. Is your's a plastic or SS Tub? I generally found...

Hi All, This morning I came across a wonderfully looked after Hoovermatic T1302 (Australian Model). Very well looked after, including new belts + new pulsator & housing, and very minimal rust (only on chassis base rails which can be sanded and painted). Haggled it to $80 from $120. Please find...

Thanks Wishy Washy! Thanks so much for replying! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply i've been having hassles with a parts company supplying my belt.. 1 month later I finally have it. The way you described was the way I did it. The whole procedure took maybe 20 minutes including...

Not looking forward to this. Hi WishyWashy, The layout of yours is the same as mine. I am about to do this and really am NOT looking forward to it (in comparison to replacing a pump in a modern F/L this looks like a breeze) but still not fun. I was going to do the method you did use? which...

Awesome Footage Thanks for posting Launderess. That bloke really isn't scared of that spinner lol. As a professional cleaner myself, the client's laundering I do doesn't look half as back breaking as that looked. It was great getting a look into the industries history. Cheers.

Thank you both for the nice welcome. You know Yogi I have to admit they are so much fun probably still my favourite over FL's which brings me to arbilab, I think it's a mix of the turning and water.. I've been fascinated with WM's my whole life. I also like ceiling fans but they make you dizzy...

Well this afternoon I picked up my $20 twin tub.. Was in a very sad state, but the lady insisted she it worked.. Got it home in my 2dr Hatch (what a mission).. I plugged it in and both motors fired up beautifully! The Pump I think hasn't been used in a while it didn't want to pump but I only...
