Beginnings of restoration

 

[beekeyknee]

Bleach hose came off and rusted the base.

 

[beekeyknee]

Tub Cover clamp improperly installed. Rusted outer edge of tub cover and inner edge of outer tub.

[beekeyknee]

Deposits in valve.

 

[beekeyknee]

Bleach Cup.

 

[beekeyknee]

Agitator skyscraper.

 

[beekeyknee]

Label - Why does model number say AA806? I thought Avocados were supposed to say VA806.

-If I'm correct, serial number indicates manufacturing date as, Dec., 1979.

Dirty Injector

Agitator came off easily and made a popping sound when it released.

 

[beekeyknee]

Almost apart.

This I couldn't believe. Mounting stem appears to be the old style, but looks like it was installed yesterday.

Two of these legs were rusted badly - one nut was frozen so I cut it off.

 

[beekeyknee]

Damper pads seemed to be in good shape. They soaked up a lot of Poly-lube.

 

[beekeyknee]

Pulley, bearing, brake package, and drive lug all seemed to be in good shape.

 

[beekeyknee]

Water valve soaked in vinegar.

 

[beekeyknee]

Injector cleaned and reassembled.
