That is great, Adam.

 

The spin belt - look at Poly-V belts. (link below) The original was possibly a leather belt?? These clutch nicely, better than modern poly-V belts. I think your current serpentine belt (which is a type of poly-V) is too large diameter? I have just done a quick search, it appears true flat belts are still available, I have linked one below.

 

The video doesn't really show what happens to change to spin, does it work by lowering the motor to tension the spin belt?

#53 I have no idea why it got replaced. I would have been six at the time. It's possible it came with the house my aunt and uncle purchased, so had perhaps seen a good life before they came along. They were a family of three kids under eight too, so lots of washing. I guess the idea of a Bensix Automatic was just too enticing!

That's according to the brochure I've attached (I think I downloaded this brochure form the archives here on automaticwasher.org. I hope it's not a problem to re-post it here)

The Australian version that my aunt (and later ourselves) had was cosmetically a little bit different from this, however the engineering/mechanical side of things was identical

Wonderful machine
