Bendix Boot Mechanics 101

[jetcone]

Okay I have been rooting around in Roberts' Rubber Room ( don't tell him!)
and found "in Stock" all the Bendix boots!

I am posting pix below so everyone can understand how these boots interchange because it also shows that the boots from Europe are the right size for the Gyromatics and the Duomatics.

All three boots are presented by the Maytag repaiman below adn Eddy (Eddy1210).

The first photo shows all three boots together and you can see they are the same diameter but have different profiles.

With some extra closed cell foam you would be able to retro fit most machines witht he new boots.

Boot Crossections

These two boots 18121 & 9118-23 are for all the later Bendix Tumble Action Washers. You can see the profiles are only slightly different enev though the part numbers are MILES apart!!

FIrst Bendix Boot Ever

This is the 12920 which was the boot for the first two models of the Gyromatic which as you all know was the first non bolt down Bendix machine.

Eddy & I just discovered looking in Doctrine that the two boots he is holding in the last post are interchangable from the factory because BOTH parts numbers 9118-23 & 18121 are listed under "Quick Reference" for the same boot application!
