Kenmore N/S belt drive washer and dryer (1973)

[bobbins]

I have come across a Kenmore BD Set (Canadian Model)…1973 model. I am debating to buy it (quite cheap $50 for the set). This model is very similar to my parents model while I was growing up. Very noisy, yet it still works - love the Super Roto Swirl!

If I do get it, I will probably do a total re-build with a new pump, spin tube, change transmission oil, replace tub seal, belts, idler pulley, drum rollers, maybe replace the water valve.

I am wondering if anyone in the group has a gold agitator cap - this one is stripped (small one for the fabric softener dispenser) and also a gold fabric softener dispenser?

Maybe I should finish my Hobart and Bendix projects first before going out buying more appliances - these machine are getting harder to find....

I would get them!!! I'm assuming the 3rd little knob is for 2nd rinse?

Awesome looking Kenmore! Would definitely like to see more pics of the machine if you get it. I have seen videos of Canadian bd Kenmos on Youtube, they are nice machines

Yes the 3rd switch is for the 2nd rinse.

I plan to call him tomorrow....now I need to someone to loan me their truck and find room in my garage....

ALSO....

Someone has a white set that is about the same year available..I will look at that set tomorrow too!!! Time to start my spring cleaning!
