the even worse news is the drain hose from the wash side was still soft and was able to get that off. the hose from the spin side is hard and almost an inch of it broke off right where it attaches to the pump. im not sure if i can strech it enough to re attach it but will try.. if this fails i think im done. my hands and my head hurts
I could die for you....
Don't have any suggestions off top my head about the pump. However, would it be possible to swap out old rubber hoses with something modern?
Went through old rubber hose replacement with one's small Whirlpool Junior washer. Once that stuff starts to crack and fall to pieces its usually not long for this world. Only thing usually holding it together is hope; often even just moving slightly will cause thing to break into bits.
Depending upon your frame of mind and other bits might be worth it to find another machine and combine the two to make one good.

well that little flap thing is what was the prob. the lever to re attach it is totally gone but thats ok its on the spin side. got it all back together but now the lever for the drain on the wash side is binding up but you can still close it to fill the tub and it will open half way to drain. ran water through and all that works. the hard rotten hose had just enough to get it onto the pump and get a clamp on. but now im afraid to use it in the kitchen because if that hose splits or crack it will flood the kitchen. so i guess its out in the garage she will be living. you would think that that little flap would be hard as a rock but its soft like it was brand new. shame the hoses arnt

I tried to warn you without scaring you, but the experience I had with that Frankensteinian monster pump makes me tweak even now, thinking about it ;'>
They were so difficult to work on, an old repairman told me that they always installed a new pump, rather than open one up. Your pics are great. Ah, the memories and so wonderful for members to see how unusual the Easy pump is. In Reply 20 you see that rubber "hinge" that attaches to the flap? There is a tiny steel axle, or hinge bolt in there, and that's what I replaced because I like to close the drain on the spin side when an occasional load calls for a bit of softener; also if you use the flush rinse option instead of the needle spray, you need the flap, etc. My theory is that the rinse flap ages more quickly because of the constant water flow, while the wash flap passes water only a few times for a couple minutes per wash day.
Maybe you could pour/soak a solvent into the wash port or boiling water to free up the other flap, since like me you'll never open an Easy pump again.
