Rusty 1-18, Home made case???

[fltcoils]

1-18 was running today

I hooked the machine up to power and had it running.

Put in hot water with glycerin, no leaks anywhere
Agitates ok, nice. The agitate arm works without rattling.
spin. it needs help starting, if I spin the tub by hand then it will go from there to full speed. I think that the clutch/brake has some issues, It is very loose and can be shifted 1/2" vertically
It pumps ok
The timer works and advances
I'm not sure if the water solenoids work or not, didn't test them.

TDB
cabinate/or part out
front small spring missing
recirc filter drawer missing
clutch.

Good deal!  That washer has more going for it, than I gave it credit. My bad.....

1-18 clutch / brake

How does the 1-18 clutch / brake differ from the rollermatic?

I've downloaded the rollermatic tech-talk from here, but I wonder how that relates to the 1-18.

Clutch

It's really the same clutch as far as I know, except it's larger than the one in the solid tub model.

 

[rollermatic]

the clutch pads are the same

as those on the rollermatics. i bought a bunch off larry in parma 2 years ago, used some on my rollermatics, used 2 nore when i put my 1-18 back together last summer. exactly the same.

glad you got that 1-18. i was gonna drive up and get it myself then changed my mind as i already have one that works great. no new stuff for me!!!!! i'm done collecting!

have fun with it.

I went clutch shopping

I will probably use this clutch on the 1-18. Rickr in ft wayne has a couple more of these....

I also got shoes from Larry at Modern Parts if the repair only involves these parts.

I'm considering measuring the spring ht, shoe thknss, etc. before installing. That way someone wondering if their old clutch is kaput will have a way to measure and tell so.

Either way I'll be slowly moving fwd on this project.

Anyone have an extra 1-18 plastic host outlet fitting. The one on this washer was broken where it sticks out of the cabinate.
