Bendix Transmissions

[americansuds]

Hi folks. As most of you know, the very early Bendix front load units had a 2-speed transmission in them, wash and extract/spin. I have had/used/repaired the "Double Load" commercial big brothers to those little machines which had the 3-speed tranny, providing a higher final spin speed. My question: Did any of the domestic Bendix/Philco-Bendix/Philco-Ford machines for home use employ that tranny? I have a friend that owns a huge repair company and I might be able to get some of those before they are scrapped.

think i figured it out via jetcone's video on youtube

sounds the same. just dont know if the case is the same so that it will bolt up on any 3-speed machine. and wonder if they would work on my A47...because the pump seal failed and destroyed the motor shaft on it, which i found out when trying to service the centrifugal switch in the motor...dang it.

The 36" Duomatics used a three speed transmission.

I have a Philco/Bendix . . .

. . . Duomatic that has 3 speeds. I believe it to be a 1959 model.

I also have a diving bell Bendix and a tall, rectangular Bendix both with 2 speed transmissions. I'd like to combine the 2 and make one good one.

americansuds, Welcome to AW.org

I have a Bendix and it has a gear case but i'm not sure if the speeds.

Yikes...sounds like I better make a call and secure those transmissions. I've never 'been under the hood' of a Duomatic or domestic Bendix other than the little one I have, only the coin-op versions. Man, this site is a blast...should have been in here a along time ago. Must take pictures soon...

Yes Amerisuds it is the same transmission

Bendix Combos are the mothers of those Double Loader Dexters. They just removed the suspension and made it a bolt down. The tubs, bearings, seals, transmissions, pumps all fit.

Grab it all!! And email me whatcha got!

cheers
