Tub indexing

Jon,

Earlier you mentioned you had to fix the glitch of the tub indexing. What did you do to fix this?
I assume you mean the tub turned while it was agitating?
Mine does that as well. Also, I found the grooved ring for the agitator, it was in the dryer!
It had a tear in it, so I siliconed it to the ring. Hopefully it holds it in place.

Glad to hear you found the part in the dryer

Always look in the dryer, you never know when or where the former owner will put things !

 

Yes the tub indexing- its a tricky adjustment of that one nut due to the brake linings being worn down.

My brake linings were covered in oil so first I cleaned them and the brake plate off.

Then reassembling I noticed as I tighten the nut ,the whole package lifts the brake plate off the linings.

 You don't want that -  but to low on the nut and you have poor clutching on the spin. It would be so much easier with new full thickness brake pads but we have to deal with what we've got. You have to tighten the nut just right between the two evils.

The Fords In My Driveway

Very interesting washer, have never come across one of those though I did have a combo with that face. Cant wait to try your detergent I have felt for years there is a big void for laundry detergent that isnt being filled and was wondering if anyone would come up with what you have now.What you said on the box is what I have been telling people for years,I see washers ruined by liquid detergent almost every day. Speaking of Dexter branded Bendixes,has anybody seen the coin op Dexter/Bendix or does anybody have one? Its the one thing I havent seen here.

You had to post pics of t-birds and a Cougar....Now my wife is on me to find another 89 XR7. I had one a few years back and she absolutely LOVED the thing.

Heard or Read that Ford's F-150

provides a third of their revenue(not a quote on revenue), but that the F-150 is the best selling truck in the USA. Ford's truck division with the F-150 could easily be a financially separate company from Ford, no problem.

Good Photo!!!!
