For that price you got a STEAL!!!! Working or not.

I wish I had a 2-speed motor on my Amana!

I just paid $35 for a fill valve. This listing has to be the best deal of the day, month, and year.

Beware bad bearings!

I agree. I believe most every one of those I've picked up roared like a lion...

Had bearing, seal trouble with mine the next generation had a white control panel with speckled  face.  Best of luck, you may have well got one that is a good one.  Everything is hit or miss. For the price you paid enjoy it without  any regret. A

I didn't buy it, I just posted the ad. I probably should have been more clear. The ad says delivery is included for an already basement level price so I noted that fact.
We are loving our SQ FL. I had a cluster of coffee cups on it yesterday as it spun out the load...not a clink or rattle to be heard from all that ceramic, rock solid.

I have had 3 of these in my life, all in my girlfriends family. Two of them had seal failures leading to bearing destruction in less then 5 years.

The third model was actually pretty amazing. It was used at her mothers house and it ran ~10 loads a week for about 10 years. It was under a service contract it's entire life and the crazy service company did major repairs to it 3 times. Bearing/seal twice and the main support frame broke once. It got about 4 agitators and a pump once too. It may have helped that her mom was a bleach addict. The machine was replaced with a new Speed Queen TL machine.

Sorry I did misunderstand "delivered".   It is more than likely a good one.  I would have to hear it run first, pop the front and check for the tell tale leak.  It could be fun though for $35.  There were some good ones along with the mostly bad ones. A
