An Awesome Score!
And I'm glad (certainly by no means surprised) you figured out the motor issue. Sometimes walking away from and coming back to a perplexing issue with renewed resolve and a different perspective is all that's required.
Kevin, you are to be commended for your key contribution to this cause!
Nate, even though Robert had already been alerted to the CL ad, your post provided an oblique clue regarding the mystery motor!

Hard work pays off again!
I'm impressed Robert! As in so many other area's of your life, your determination to get what you want is rewarded again.
The machine is beautiful and now definitely in it's rightful home.
It really is a beauty and just proves that you can never say "I'm done" in this hobby.

Mint! Mint! Mint!
Absolutely gorgeaus!
I'd love to see the shot of the mechanicals sometime Robert. Is this a version of a Beam design Fluid Drive?
Cheers

It truly is a beautiful machine, I saw and touched it over the weekend. Congrats on getting it up and going again - hopefully that's the last of the trouble and it can now live up to it's Easy name!
I took a bunch of pictures with my Heavy Duty Automatic DSLR so I'll try to get some of those up later tonight after class.

Hupp 2, 3, 4 ....when they took over, true Easy was no more
It's vintage classic Murray, of the Murray Corporation of America, Syracuse, New York.
Just stopped by for more pix.

Pretty neat machine Robert, and I am glad you got it going. I knew from your motor post that it was a mechanical problem as motors never behave in the way you described. Can't wait to see it in person some time.

It looks great. Actually I am amazed that a BOL machine looks so good. The TOLs much have really been something.
I wonder if the bad repair was an issue and actually preserved this machine over the decades.
So neat so see these preserved.

What a great find!!!
Robert, you never cease to amaze me. I have never seen an Easy automatic in person.
And, live and learn -- I had no idea Thor had anything to do with the Bendix powersurge. Fascinating machine.
Keep up the good work.

Great collectible. Other than ads I never thought I'd see an Easy automatic.
Except the "Westinghouse" toploader mom bought when she got disgusted with the potato-pulley FL breaking down. I could have sworn it had a perforated tub, but honestly I didn't spend that much time at home after 1964.

Great find and great save. You make so many of the rest of us green with envy!! I'm glad you explained the Easy/Hotpoint relationship. The only Easy automatic I've ever seen was a Hotpoint clone. I knew there was a connection there so now I understand. I love the way appliance makers once put personality into their machines instead of trying to make everything look the same as the competition. I also like how they used to be proud of their machines and displayed the name in BIG, BOLD letters. Now, you need bifocals to see the appliance makers name and brand A looks just like brand B. Can't wait for videos.
