DOA Speed Queen Pump

[panthera]

With everyone's help here - and thank you! - I got the belts for the Speed Queen.
The pump died. I knew it was going which is why I didn't want to touch it, but really? It died just as I was spinning to make sure there was as little water as possible....
Sheesh.

So, given that the pumps are unobtanium, looks like this is hitting the road.
Sigh.
Have to check with Modern-Hygiene first, but we may have some parts to donate to those who might need them. He'll let me know this evening.
Bummer!
(Though this does give us room for the 1961 GE Filter-Flo and she's PANK!!!!!!!)

What model Speed Queen?  I have a few pumps but I think they are for 70/80s models...  Not at the house where the parts stash is, but I can send pictures of what I have by the weekend.  Assuming I remember.... LOL

That sounds like my luck! I hate to hear that but if you’re going to scrap the washer and it’s in decent cosmetic condition I may be interested in the whole thing.

Paul, you rock

Here's the plate on it. I'll try to get a close up of the pump, tomorrow.

Melvin,

If Paul doesn't have a pump, I'd be cool with that. I am really not crazy about throwing away vintage anything, much less a Speed Queen.
Though, we're in Wyoming, you're in Texas...we'd have to be creative!

Hopefully it will work out for you. I do have a decent shipper.

There are a handful on ebay.  One way to tell the earlier solenoid drive pump from the later reversing is the width of the center section of the pulley.  If it is wide the pulley is for use with a 3L profile belt (reversing motor), if narrow rhen for use with the wider 4L belt (solenoid drive).   There are some variations of Speed Queens that do require a special version of this pump (some suds saver models but not all).   For yours this pump should work fine.

 

It's tricky as sellers often times don't have the full assembly PN and throw the main body casting or bottom plate PN on the auction.

 

Pardon Our Interruption...

Ben,

It's the right one, I grabbed it.
Thanks!

Melvin,

I'll try the pump. You're first on the list if it fails. Modern Hygiene really likes this machine...or I would have never, ever, restored the time motor on an avocado anything.

 

[repairguy]

No worries! I hope you get it going again.

 

[hippiedoll]

Fingers crossed...

The pump works out for you and you keep this vintage Speed Queen in service. Avocado??
You gotta share some pictures of it now Panthera!

I hope it all works out for you!
Sending positive vibes your way...

Speed Queen agitators

What year did Speed Queen start using plastic agitators?
