Haven't Forgotten About You

Between all the maddness over Sandy haven't had time to make it over to my storage locker to fetchthe box of Hoover spares. Am quite sure the item you requested is still there as nothing was ever removed from the box after things were packed away.

Yogitunes, you're absolutely right. I've only washed two test loads (one large towel each), and I already want to do more! :-)

Launderess, no problem. Just let me know here when you know, and I'll send you an email to work out the details. I have a PO box in Vermont, so if you don't mind shipping via USPS, you won't have to worry about the hassles of shipping across the border.
 
Checking

You said the pump in reply 5 is the one you need? is this for another twinny or the above mustard one??

The pump in reply 5 is the one out of Scotts white & turquoise twinny that now resides with RevinKevin in Calafornia, I sent Scott a replacement pump and hoses & stuff for that one, which is our type sold here...

never seen those pinch pumps, dont have them here!

Questions for the Aus guys, do the newer Hoover twinnies use pinch pumps with you guys?
 
Nice machine there barcoboy

and you are definitely gonna have lots of fun with that baby.
I have an issue with mine leaking from the spin tub seal-NOT a good thing.
I'll have to ask for some advice on what is the best way to remedy the situation.
But for now, the Simplicity is more than making up for the loss from the Hoover.
Happy Twin Tubbing!!!!!
 
mine is the Mustard Yellow machine

chestermike.
thought maybe you were getting barcoboy's machine mixed up with mine.
No big deal, ya know!
At least the pump in mine, (or BOTH pumps for that matter) are working ok.
 
TwinTubber, take a look at the thread linked below. In it, unclejohn describes how he fixed one of these seals with a rubber silicone.

Something else you might want to try is a product called "Goop", which is available at Canadian Tire. It is an adhesive, but works well on rubber. I used it to repair a rubber coupling in one of those vertical fan towers.

Back cover

barcoboy,

just found a place in my vincinity (Qc) where they will 'produce' a aluminum back panel for my Baycrest twin tub washer, cost $75 It comes white color on one side, so there is no need to spray paint it as its all ready to fit in place. I brought them the back cover of my Hoover model 0632 *exactly the same* as the one missing from the back of the Baycrest unit. A guy from another metalwork shop told me it could cost me up to $200---or more, for a panel, as production costs and time can raise the price significantly. So, we could say I am kind of lucky at 'only' $75.

BTW, photos of your machine reveal to me how there was a similitude in design between mine's Baycrest and the Hoover 0515-0519 models. From what I can see, the Baycrest unit seems to be a bit flimsier than the real, the one and only Hoover...
 
Here's a picture from the under side of the Baycrest twinnie, model HBT-53. Note that both models---this one and the Hoover 0519---were equipped with a one-piece, polypropylene wash tub (not the aluminum or stainless tubs of earlier models). In fact, wash tub and spin tub were molded onto in a single piece, not separated tubs like the ones from older models. My photo was shot before I did extensive repair getting rid of the rust with brand new paint (used either spray or touch-up glaze).

Thanks again barcoboy

about the "goop".
I'll check Canadian Tire this weekend and see about that stuff.
I need to get the machine upside down to really get in there and see to work on it.
But I won't have much time until the weekend.

And unclejohn, I remember the Baycrest named Hoover-that was a loooooong time ago!!!
Glad you like the colour of my machine and would love to know if you have found that lint filtration system to be effective.
Having two cats one wants to get as much of the hairs off of their clothing as possible.
 
unclejohn, do you think the back panel you are getting produced would also fit my 0519? If so, and it's alright with you, I'd be interested in getting a panel made for my 0519. I could drive up to pick it up and pay you for it.
 
TwinTubber, yes the lint filter seems to work fine, dont know about pets however since I do not have animals inside my appartment

barcoboy, from what I saw in your pictures the back panel is different from your machine - - 0519 cover seems larger in size than the one I have for my 0632. However, it would take the *exact* measures to reproduce a panel exactly in order to fit (screws, holes, etc...)... Good question! (?)
 
OK no problem. I'm sure someone in my family can build me one, and that way it will be sure to fit the back of my 0519.
