Great Job.
Awesome job Kevin!
Rebuild posts are hands down my favorite to read so thank you for sharing. You also did a great job detailing all the steps and I'm sure others are really going to appreciate the extra effort down the road.
When I rebuilt the Inglis I really had nothing to compare it to so interesting to hear your perspective on the difficulty vs other makes. I too remember a few roadblocks along the way that made me re-evaluate what possessed me to do it in the first place. In particular, getting that old spintube out, sliding the agitate cam bar back in and installing the top centerpost seal were hands down the worst for me. Thanks for the tip on the top centerpost seal, if I do it again I'll definitely give that method a shot. And I'm with you on the colorful vocabulary!
Once again, congrats on a successful rebuild and awesome job getting it done!

Thanks Eddie and James! I hope your Inglis issue gets sorted out in short order. Canadian machines I think are the most unique.
I'll have another rebuild thread come shortly involving a Maytag.

Congratulations! Those belt-drive machines are workhorses. Thanks for sharing the process and photos with us.
Great job!! It is a pain to do but so rewarding when it's all done and the machines come back to life. Congratulations!!!
