Women of a Certain Age...

As with all ladies of a certain age, her internal plumbing had started to go, so up the skirt I went to replace her worn out hose(s)...

Awww it's so Cute

One of the things I said I would do for Kevin is get one of the A-50's going. I brought a diverter valve with me and set out to fix the little guy from our last washer party, in which it got a very interesting modification that warranted it's ow instruction manual.

 

One of these has a bad bearing somewhere in it, so it is giving up extra parts to the other.

 

 

Waiting for the transplants...

Fresh Parts... Nom Nom Nom

The new diverter plunger next to the rotted plunger. Word to the wise, flush your A-50 out after use!

 

New out of the package thanks to John Lefever's stash-o-parts...

All Buttoned Up

Everything went together nicely, thanks to the parts machine. Only thing left to do now is water test and adjust the plunger cable to keep air out.

Revvin-Kevin.....

Thank you so much for opening your home and sharing your love of washer's with all of us. This was my first official wash-in and I had a great time.

It was so much fun to put screen names and pictures with the actual person in the flesh! I met so many great people. These are times in life to remember fondly.

Thank You,

Patrick
