Raytheon Speed Queen tub seal

[zenithtv]

I have a Speed Queen washer HA5591LA that I believe dates from the early 1980s. It had not been used in at least 20 years. I put some water in the tub and it leaks slightly from the bottom of the tub, so I assume the tub seal is bad.

I removed the agitator, but could not get the drive bell off. Is a puller needed to get it off? Is a replacement tub seal still available for this machine? Of course the individual part numbers listed are NLA, but I don't know if there is another number for a seal kit that might be found as NOS. For example, this part, but I can't tell from the photos what is included:

I am moving to new house and trying to decide if I want to take this washer with. I have some nostalgic connection to it and would like to keep it, but could use the space for something else if it can't be repaired due to unavailable parts. I am fairly mechanically inclined and could make the repairs if the parts can be found.

Pardon Our Interruption...

Also uses part # R9900552 depending on serial #.

My 3 marathon SQs,1982 and 2x 1984, have taller agitator shaft with 6-sided conical drive block at top,so subject washer may be more mid-80s.Console style is very similar to my earlier machines.That agitator drive is similar to 1990s design GEs

Thank you for the information, since the parts seem to still be around, I will hold on to the washer. Though it will be a while before I have time to work on it.

My parents had a 1983 Speed Queen that used the taller agitator shaft.
