Hello Ivan, great to hear from you and that you have another vintage washing machine, we found a similar machine a few years ago which needed a few renovations....here is the link to the previous thread!

The tub looks fantastic in the colour shade of green, have never seen that before!!

Yes, I saw the theme of the TXOP. There's a photo gear all coated with oil, the oil may have been displaced from the gearbox. Under the rubber membrane that you make a new, on the cylinder has a special screw. This is necessary to unscrew the screw immediately after unpacking and installation of the washing machine.From this opening the oil will flow to the floor if the gear unit will receive water from the pump and via a central shaft.
This I read in the instructions to the washing machine. But when they bought that car, nobody twisted the screw and this no one could understand that the water gets in gear. The pump is jammed by the fact that the shaft is rusty and could not rotate. By this, I conclude that the water was coming from the pump.
The central shaft is very large swings in the sleeve shaft (which puts the tank) there is worn seal. By this water enters the gearbox through this gap.

Hi Ivan...nice machine liking the green tub, I have a black / speckled one & a blue tub but never seen a green one !!
Your diagosis sounds right, a leaky pump will push water back into the gearbox via the impeller drive shaft, this would push oil up and out of the breather screw over time.
Having worked on a few of these, I have a good understanding of them. I have had a quick look at the service manual too.
Hope you can get it running!!

Great to see the inside of the gearbox and drive workings and that under all that gunky mess of oil and water there is the shiny metal,keep up the good work and look forward to seeing the back together machine!!

We needed a new boot seal and managed to create a replacement tub seal from a Hoover washing machine sump hose, yogurt can and retainer strips which works fine!!

I love that Wendy's commercial

it was hysterical when it came out and is still funny.

 

The Soviets might not have had a lot of choice in clothing but they sure had choice in washing machines- thanks to Ivan for showing us !

Wendys commercial

The people responsible for the commercial decided they better show it to the head Soviet Ambassador figuring he'd be really offended and they were sweating bullets waiting for him to freak out.
He ended up laughing his ass off and thought it was great. I remember it too and thought it was hilarious then, and its still funny today.
Too bad they don't make em like that anymore.

Such an activator is very beautiful sprays water when it is filled with little in the washing tub.

THEY

look like they are made out of porcelain ? Or are they white plastic?

This activator is made of porcelain. On the shaft it is screwed onto the nut that is inserted into a mold for casting in the production of the activator.
