and here is that marvelous
spray arm that i remember from when i was a kid! i love those super big water jets! those are some major holes there! it's amazing it can pump enough water to supply those large holes and the tower shower!
actually i had a service tech friend i met on this site tell me they were not particularily great dishwashers and didn't really move that much water!

actually cleaned up pretty good
it's a sleeve bearing i was told by my service tech friend john. maybe that's better cause there was less to rust out from the leak.
going to clean it up with very fine steel wool and pack it full of grease. probably use wheel bearing grease.

Lower Bearing....
NEVER EVER USE GREASE IN A SLEEVE BEARING!!!!!!!
Got your attention?
Good! Go to your nearest hardware store and get some 3-in-1 MOTOR OIL. It comes in a blue bottle, and is SAE20 that is detergent free.
If you install grease, thin oil, or engine motor oil, kiss that motor goodbye forever! Anything other than detergent-free oil will destroy that bearing in very short order. Something like Zoom spout oil wont' work here either since you're dealing with heat and torque from the motor.
Use the right stuff and that bearing will last just about forever.....use the wrong stuff and it'll last about 5-10 minutes!

so
the impeller puller/pusher whatever worked and i thought i would share it with you all in case you need to get an impeller off a stuck motor shaft! especially if need to do it without breaking a defunct impeller that would be next to impossible to find.
but if anyone knows of one please let me know, i would buy it.
i am going to modern parts house in parma ohio this week to get parts for this machine and an impeller for my modern maid impeller drive dishwasher.
larry told me he has a new motor, seal and lower impeller. so i can use this top impeller with those new parts and my mobile maid will run like new again!
but before i put those new parts on i am going to reassemble this pump using this seal, impellers, and motor and see if i can get it to work without leaking! i have a hunch i can!
hope you enjoy!
thanks for letting me share!
