Hi everyone,
I acquired this Simpson fluid drive that had been sitting outside in the elements for ages, with the tub full of water. I managed to get it to spin but agitation seems like a no go, I think it did try to agitate at one stage but now there’s nothing. I tried pulling off the severely rusted agitator shaft to no luck yet. I wonder if the shaft that goes into the transmission is broken.
Should I be able to replace the broken parts (agitator shaft, etc) with ones from a wringer machine? Any help would be appreciated
