Hi!
So to those who have been along for the journey in the shoppers square thread may know that there was a 3226 for sale in Adelaide and I had planned to get it.
It’s finally arrived today!
Upon first testing on spin the bearings were all ok! They do make a bit of noise probably due to not being used for a while. The pump was seized as well and upon disassembly had been locked up due to corrosion. Have resolved that and now spins but would most likely leak a bit. The drain pipe/sump has split on the flexible part near the drum so testing would be on hold until that’s fixed. The drum also might be sitting in an incorrect position possibly.
Meantime here’s photos:
