Solid Tub SQ 2

[everythingold]

Ok, I fixed the sediment filter thingy, kinda cool.

Now it works fine except it leaks. arrrggg.

It is leaking from the front right post. And it appears to be a new leak. No trails etc.

What year?

were you able to determine? I wonder if it has the world famous Arc-Q-Cuate 210 transmission?

Matt - bummer to hear about the leak. Hopefully it won't take much to patch it up.

Washman - it has the same transmission as all other 70's SQ's. I believe Mark, Akronman, recently just picked up an earlier SQ, with additional photos and a video even. Same stuff.

210 or not.......what these solidtub versions offered was a powerforced stroke mated to the whale tale paddles of the agitator......something that the Raytheon and Alliance machines sort of lacked in their designs.......

I would like to try and switch out a few agitators in both machines....just to see the variations of wash action......

thanks to Mark for this video of a ramped version in a solid tub...

a Raytheon version.....not the greatest wash action.....

From what I gather here

the "Raytheon" era of SQ was less than stellar, is that correct?

 

[yogitunes]

yeah..Raytheons were trouble prone machines.....belts eaters and seal failures

It is leaking around the bolt

This is the front right bolt for the outer tub. I hope epoxy works, any other ideas?

And this is a 77, I have not worked on a SQ this old before. I just don't see many. I have a thing for SQ though, you guys know how it is.
