I just use them for fun. I would have liked to have pulled the basket on the Whirlpool but I wanted to leave well enough alone.
The only work I've done on a washer was change a water valve and replace the water pump on a direct drive.
I've never worked on a BD and I'm not mechanically inclined. I can follow directions and do something step by step but the natural inclination is not there.
This is why I would rather the whirlpool go to someone as I said who can keep it running.
I realize I can't really use these as daily drivers. I would much rather someone who would love a Whirlpool belt drive like this.
Appearance wise it's in beautiful shape. I'll try to get a picture underneath.
When I got it I remember seeing no rust underneath but will have to check it again.
These were certainly wonderful machines in their day but the novelty has worn off.
Quite frankly, I'm much more comfortable with a direct drive and more modern machines.
