Grey ghost Maytag with pump

[stan]

A little high priced, but looks like it could be a fun restore. A little too far out for me.
Hope someone saves it.

Is

$400.00 too high for this ?

 

[travis]

Yes, in my opinion that's too high. If I really wanted it I might go to $200.

 

[bradross]

Yes, too high..

I agree with Travis. I've been really wanting to find a model 30 or 32 with a pump, but I still would only go as high as $200.

Hi Brad

Glad you stoped by.
Do you know what model this is?

 

[bradross]

It's a 32WP (32 with pump)

The differentiating details from the model 30 are:

- round wringer gear housing and redesigned handle
- lift tab on lid relocated to front
- top wringer bearing hangers are now rounded and enclose the tension posts.

I've attached some close-up photos of a wringer assembly for a 32 that I've just finished restoring/painting.

Thanks Brad

Figured you'd know.
Nice job on your machine.

I had a model 90, given to me by the woman who bought it new in 1928, that came with a removable bar that ran across the wringer front, right along where the top and bottom wringer rollers met. It was to help you feed the clothes into the wringer. I thought it was so cool.

Wonder

If transporting this machine is the same as a model E?
I mean.. If it had to be layed down, would laying it on it's front be O.K?

Did you get it, Stan?

I notice the posting is now deleted. Were you able to get it? Sorry I didn't see your question earlier. FYI - I transported my Model 30 on its side in the back seat of my sedan. You just have to make sure the oil port on the power unit is in the highest position. Mine didn't leak a drop.
