Earlier, I was just reading about this the washing machine and never even saw her pictures. When I happened to see an advertisement for the sale, I just put a lot of effort and $ 500, to purchase and deliver the washing machine))))
This washing machine only washed and spun. Used as a dish washer, it can not. The switch has three positions: spin-stop washing.
These washing machines began to produce in Kharkiv, Ukrainian SSR in 1956 on "KhEMZ" (Kharkov Electrical Engineering Plant named after Stalin). I heard that the first version would do the dishes.
This washing machine is released April 30, 1958 and worked until 2004. The former owner told me that he bought a new washing machine in 2004, and KhEMZ put on the street.
When she came to me, I immediately switched it to the network, and it earned from the first second, and this after 11 years of inactivity on the street!
But time has had an effect. Housing rusted and must be painted. There is no cover rubber rim. Inside, everything is very well preserved, as it was covered with a layer of dust with oil - is a very good preservative.
The trouble is that the pump is worn - it rotted because dirt and water in which it was left. At the outlet of the pump fall, collapse and jammed inside the shaft, due to which transmissions was erased.
Even wear of the seal and the hub on the main shaft and the gear in the water gets. When I disassembled the gearbox, I was terrified)))) After I cleaned, I found a great deterioration of the worm and worm wheel.
Later I'll try to disassemble the shaft and pull it completely out of the gearbox housing, then it will be possible to replace the bushing and oil seal and assemble gear again.
The pump will have to make new ....
It seems to me that the THOR same problem with gear like me. The gearbox is necessary to disassemble and clean, filled with clean engine oil.
Looks like a big project ahead-but will be a real rare gem when restoration complete
