The 61 Kenmore
Hi Kenny,
That 61 Kenmore needed spin bearings,clutch,ect. Plus it had a chunk blown out of the transmition housing. A couple of months after I got that machine from you,I was lucky to come across two belt drive machines. A 1956 Whirlpool Imperial,and a 1956 Kenmore TOL. During the rebuild of the WP I found a rust hole in the outer tub. So I ended up useing the 61 KM's tub in the WP,and while I was at it,added the waterfall filter system from the 61 KM to the 56 WP. The 56 Kenmore is in really bad shape. It had sat outside for quite some time,and shows it. The tub is "locked up" and the front panel, cabinet and the back and underside are VERY rusty.The machine had a leaky car battery sit on the top of the console for sometime,so you can imagine.... So I will be useing more of the 61 KM to help restore the 56 KM this spring.
I am a 35mm kind of guy,so I do not have any digital photos of my stuff. Bethann from Indy will be here next however,and she said she would take some photos to post.
Happy New Year!
