Amana Wringer Washer

[Skooter125]

Greetings,
We are new to the forum and have acquired an Amana Wringer washer (model TWA202). It’s works great after cleaning and lubricating and a new belt. Some of the working parts are labeled SQ.
The rollers are cracked but are not missing any pieces rubber. But still, I am trying to find replacement rollers and hope there are some options out there for replacing, adapting, or resurfacing?
I am also trying to find a manual for it even if it’s a SQ equiv.
Any info is much appreciated!
Thank you
The rollers were out when I took this photo so we could measure them

I’m not sure I posted the right forum but would also like to ask if anyone has ever had their wringer rollers resurfaced?
I found a few companies that can do this, but I’m unable to supply them with the original specification of the roller diameters and material.
Thanks for any info.

I have a '70's Sears catalog and it has that same model branded as Kenmore for $499.

That is a Speed Queen washer with the Amana label stuck on. This was made when both companies were owned by Raytheon. Absolutely no difference other than the label.

Depending upon how severe or deeply cracked your wringer rollers are a simple chemical "resurfacing" may suffice.

Back in day it was suggested to *lightly" go over wringer rollers with a cloth moistened with kerosene, then thoroughly wash roller in soap and water (detergent would do) to remove all traces of kerosene.

Petrol will dissolve rubber, thus a light going over with substance removes surface muck and slight imperfections by also taking off slight layer of rubber exposing new surface beneath.

Obviously more often such a cleaning was done and or performed too aggressively shortened lifespan of wringer roller, thus one did not do it that often. If wringer rollers were properly cared for and used such cleaning wasn't necessary frequently if at all.
