Fantastic thread
This is great. Well done Mike on this. I can sympathise about the hoses as I have a penchant for original rubber hoses - none of those grey plastic hoses for me it I can help it. Good luck with the restoration.
Ricky - that's a lovely machine and I'm amazed at the simplistic complexity of it. How did you manage to work it out without the manual? Brilliant.
Paul - fantastic service manual - looking forward to seeing more of that and another machine with retractable casters.

Hi thanks
My machine came with original instructions and delivery installation instructions. I got the workshop manual Paul has kindly posted a few years ago. I was going to try and find a good old fashioned photo copier as scanning and uploading is a faff the way my pic works. I never thought of taking pictures ! Well done ! My machine had not been used and sat in a pantry for 35 years ! So it was easier to bring it back to life. Mainly adjustments and lubrication. It's only needed a new belt and a timer as the timer motor seized , I got a good second hand one. The soap hole has corroded a bit but that's it. It's my daily machine. These are beasts with very strong heavy structures !

Leaky filter ?
Hi I fb messaged Chris to see how things were going with the machine and he said it leaked around the filter. Mine did the same. But it's easily fixed. Remove the filter and clean the aluminum hole with fine sand paper. Clean the rubber gasket too. You will see on the filter tray a nut undo this slightly and turn the screw this adjusts the pressure against the locking clamp. Once you feel it's nice and tight and stopped leaking tighten the nut. This machine has so many little extra engineering things like this that make it nice to work on

WoW it looks almost like
New,
The filter tray and the rubber gasket. I am really enjoying this thread as I have a 57 Bendix combo also under restoration and has almost identical internal features.
I did a total strip down too- glad I did as when I cleaned the aluminum rectangular filter tray - I unbolted it from the tub I saw the internal pitting where the pressed feet of the metal screen filter would rest / touch the aluminum tray housing- galvanic corrosion I suppose. Holes went straight through to the exterior, also had big pits at the round section where the pump hose connects to it.
Anyway I was able to fix the corrosion with a dremel tool and burr and some JB weld.
Where do you guys go for the lint filter housing screw rubber washers/ door gaskets/ soap dispenser rubber?
Keep the pics coming
