Dual Action Speed Queen

[yogitunes]

OK, this may be Blasphemy to some, but I always have to experiment for some fun, or actually doing what they say can't be done....

so we take a regular Speed Queen washer.....Commercial duty from the Military....

 

[yogitunes]

typical construction from Alliance.....this of course has the solid vane agitator...

 

[yogitunes]

and with a quick flip out and install of a GE hydrowave dual action.....which actually fits the agitator hub.....and suddenly rollover and capacity for larger loads is no trouble for the Queen.....

Who told you to remove the Royal Dalton's from my throne?

Post video!!! I would love SQ to design a dual action. Maybe still with wavy vanes somehow to keep that Speed Queen character.

Martin-

Pls post a video of that Queen putting that dual action agi thru the paces. Would love to see what kind of action you are getting from that. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in your transformation.

 

BTW did you try putting the SQ in the GE since you put the GE in the SQ just to see what you get?

That's so funny you did that because I bought a Speed Queen agitator to put on my Hydrowave but the hub was a different size lol. I wanted to see how it worked in there.

Thank you Robert for posting that link on the toilet/washer, funny.

I would also like to see a vid of the Queen with the hydrowave agi...

Joe, its probably not the size, but rather the slot setup.....I didn't think the GE would fit, or work, but it did....

wondering if the hubs would interchange.....I don't have a full GE machine to check on something like that.....but was always a curiosity of mine....

personally I think the vanes of the SQ could be a bit larger, they work great for small to medium loads, but on the super size ones, could use a little more kick....

 

[golittlesport]

cool

I bet that dual action works great with SQ's nice long stroke. I'm surprised SQ has not put a DA in their TL machines. It would help a lot moving large loads, especially with their lower water level these days.

 

[yogitunes]

actually with this DA in place and the taller spirals, you can add a more substantial amount of water and clothing.....really increasing its capacity

 

[gansky1]

Very good idea.  I've wondered if other agitators could be used on that hub.  

 

What is the SPM of the Speed Queen?  

 

[yogitunes]

our own DanManTn has even figured out how to install a ramped version from a WhiteWestinghouse......super cool, but the sneak wont share his secret...
