Congratulations on your first classic! A Kenmore, and a Maytag are both great washers to start a collections with. Sturdy machines, and many parts are still available if you look for them in the right places. Beautiful machines, and they both look to be very well cared for!
Sales literature for this machine
I have the original sales literature for this exact model. I had this machine demonstrated to me but wasn't in a postion to buy it, I still wanted the literature so I told the salesman at Sears I would come back & buy it so that he would give it to me. If anyone wants me to xerox it I would love to be of some help. To answer another member's question,this model (1974) was way past the days of interior lights on Lady Kenmore. My parents replaced their WI-56 Frigidaire with a 1964 turquoise Lady Kenmore ,it had the interior light where the germicidal bulb should have been (used to be) I wish I could have saved it. It had 3 speeds, a filter indicator light, SUPER ROTO- SWIRL agitator with rubber (gray) scrubber. 21st century machines do not have control panel lights- who says that washers get better decade after decade when this proves that they actually LOSE FEATURES rather than improve. Contact me if you want the literature. 773-283-8456. P.S I didn't have a place back in '74 to install the machine being discussed in this thread. That is why I could not buy it.

Thanks for the congrats all!
KenmoreGuy64: Thanks for the info. This came from a suburb outside of St. Louis. I have been trying to dig for that thread regarding getting the iron coating off the porcelain but I cannot find it.
DADoES: Thanks for the diagram and link.
beevac: Sent you an e-mail.

Man I keep seeing those Lady Kenmores more and more now! My grandma's was a 71 model but basically the same. Her's was white. I want to find one so bad! Congrats on finding that one!
Might anyone know how big the tubs are on these two washers I got?
I am fascinated with the 74 LK model recently found. The tub doesn't look too much bigger especially when comparing its agitator to the one in mine.
beevac: I e-mailed you about the literature. I will re-send it.

Your Lady K is a std capacity
Hi Toploader, I believe that all Lady Ks were std capacity machines until 1974, when they went to the large capacty tub and the Penta-Swirl agitator (like mine). Gordon (KenmorGuy64) told me this one had the large cap tub when I first told him I was going to go look at it (but I forgot). Then someone mentioned it in my thread then I realized "Oh, that's right, it DOES have the larger tub"!
I am liking my machine more and more as time goes by!

JB Weld can do the trick on that broken connector. It comes in a couple tubes, where one part is white and the other is black. Mix it up, and it turns a grey color. When you slather that stuff on the two pieces, ain't nothin' gonna pry 'em off!
