Will Have To Look It Up In My Hoover Repair/Service/Parts Ma
But nice looking machine you have there none the less. Same as mine.
Just off the top of my head, if the unit will not pump more likely than not the pump is has either choked up and or simply no longer good and requires replacement. Pumps on this model of Hoover TT were the weakest link, and were prone to leaks and such.
Good news is that unlike pumps today, the ones in this machine were built to be taken apart and repaired. Bad news is finding replacement parts is often as difficult as finding new pumps.
First take the back off the unit and then engage the spin can/pump and see what happens if anything. If the motor is powered up, but the belt will not turn, stop the spinner and gently tug on the belt to turn the pump pulley. You want to see if the thing will move at all and what sort of resistance you are getting.
These pumps do not remove all the water from the drains, thus often there is lots of undissloved detergent, muck, hard water minerals and god only knows what else down there. With regular use the pump will move some of this sediment down the drain, however if the unit is allowed to sit unused for long periods of time, the stuff simply rots/drys out into a hardened mass
My unit arrived nearly MIB, including under the bonnet, but the pump was a mess, and had to be replaced.
If you require parts, check the archives for my posting of what is in my stash, and let me know. Am always willing to do a deal with a club memember! *LOL*
By the way have two MIB Hoover TT pumps for this model, but am sort of "hoarding" as they are darn hard to find, and one never knows when one is going to need a replacement. However as the "Widow and Orphan" fund is rather low, may be tempted to part with one..... *LOL*

The pump should be savable, they're put together much better than the poly-tub later Hoovers, they're somewhat repairable. Usually a good clean and lube works wonders. The little rubber cap on top of the pump where the dial rod hooks in will be the source of much pain. The pump works on the principle of much suction, it either sucks from the spin side or the wash side via a diverter plunger. With the Hoover pump design, what looks like a dust cap is actually an integrated shaft seal for the plastic shaft. Problem is, when this piece starts to deteriorate, it starts sucking air into the pump during draining and reduces the speed of draining greatly. You can't really repair it, it's brittle rubber by this age, but you can get a flat washer and some small o-rings to remedy the situation for the most part.
