Oooooooo! Somebody got a new toy.
Cycles/temps
The temp selections are a bit non-standard, true. Also, on the NORMAL cycle, the wash overflow in the last minute of agitation is the same temp as the wash. NORMAL does not have a spray rinse. The durable Press cycle is different. The overflow at the end of wash is the rinse temp, and then it also spray rinses for the first half of spinout. Speed Queens version of cool-down, I guess.

I don't know about you guys, or even other solid tub machines, but found SQ DurablePress cycle one of the better outcomes for washing PermPress clothing....
granted theres the slight cool down, but the quick ramp up of the spin, and it only last 2 minutes....barely enough time to cause the clothes to wrinkle, and not packed tight to the walls of the tub...
but with any load or cycle, with a solid tub, the clothing seems to puff back once the spin stops, you barely have to shake them out before drying....
side note, this is the first one I seen with the spring screen for the sediment tube, which is actually cleared and works....I didn't know that spring existed...

That is a great new washer to find! I've had several of these lower-end SQ's over the years and saw many of them growing up in the 70's. Never a dull washday with Speed Queen!
The reversing motor washers did have a pretty effective tub brake, bringing the tub to a full stop within five seconds or so, required by law without a locking lid. On almost every machine I've had like this, the brake works intermittently. Sometimes it stops the tub as designed, sometimes it coasts to a stop in it's own sweet time. And then, sometimes it will coast for a while and finally the brake takes hold and stops the tub. You just never know what you're going to get with a SQ spin brake.
The pumps were different from solenoid and reversing motor machines, and there were high volume (comm - coin-op) pumps and standard (residential) pumps. This a25178 pump is the one listed for your machine in the SQ Doctrine I have.
Enjoy your new overflowing fun!

thanks Greg, yes this is the one I found and ordered....
although this exact one is for the banging solenoid version, I will just have to switch the bottom half to fit my machines clockwise pump out.....
interesting that they didn't just reverse the motor for agitation/spin sequence, then one pump would have worked for both...
I have seen the commercial style pumps, with 6 blades, those can kick out some water big time...

That's funny that this part number is different than the one on your machine, doctrine was wrong?? lol
I've had to rebuild pumps and change pulleys from parts on hand from one SQ to the next, they all look the same but...

Speaking of pumps......
I bought this SQ pump off fleabay last year for my machine. I didn't have any part numbers, but could see it "looked right" in the photos and bought it.
I finally got around to installing it a few weeks ago and this new one is almost 2 inches larger in diameter than the old one. I learned something about this new pump the hard way. If I stop the washer for some reason when there is water in the outer tub (and pump), when it's restarted, water will shoot out of the drain hose with such force, it lifts out of the sink and start spraying everywhere!!

"warm rinses may not have an adverse effect, but clothes seem to feel lighter, softer, and dry better when using a warm rinse, but then again, this could be just a mental thing..."
It's not just your imagination. Cold water (for washing and/or rinsing) sucks for cotton, and 90+% of what most people wear is cotton. Clothes rinsed in warm water do dry faster, especially in electric dryers, negating any energy savings one might get from cold water rinsing. Clothes are softer simply because they're rinsed more thoroughly in warm water.

Do you have any documentation / data / proof to back up that statement?
Congratulations!
A while back, you gave us the name of a dealer in NJ, I think, and you said they had old parts. Do they not have SQ parts?
Norge had the same H/C & W/W water temps.
Growing up, I can only think of one family who had a SQ and it was a pair from right around the time they started making them, with the big medallion on the front. The husband worked for some sort of business that had sold them. Some coin-ops had them, but I can't think of a store in the Atlanta area that sold them.

Nice old 'Queen . . .
Good to see she's back on the throne washing away! I like that simple yet elegant brushed stainless panel too.

"Clothes are softer simply because they're rinsed more thoroughly in warm water."
"Do you have any documentation / data / proof to back up that statement?"
Of course. Research allergen studies done on clothing and bedding (dust mite droppings etc), or residual oils/waste matter in baby diapers. Etc.
I could also go into 30+ years experience visiting friends and relatives, running into bath and kitchen towels as stiff as a board (and that often stink). Invariably when asked if they use cold water rinses on their towels the answer is yes, and without fail the problems go away when they start rinsing them in warm water.
Or we could discuss residual fabric softener/liquid detergents/other crud in washers that accumulate in absence of warm water rinsing, eventually causing bacteria/odor problems in washers. No shortage of threads on that issue here on AW.
If you want personal proof, simply wash your hands with a bit of your favorite laundry detergent, and compare rinsing effectiveness in cold and warm water. See?

warm rinse
Warm rinse is also good for throw rugs with the rubber backing. For years my mother had very short life with these rugs, but when I told her to use warm rinse the lifetime more than tripled. She has rubber backed rugs that are several years old and the backing is still good. When she bought a new washer 9 years ago she would only get on with the warm rinse option, which was becoming hard to come by without going to almost top of the line. JEB

I'm a bit late to the party, but congrats on the fun SQ find! I'm amazed that we keep finding gems like this.
