Uncrating........it arrived safe and sound......

Interesting, no drive block attached........

Luckily, I have a couple of new drive blocks in my Westinghouse parts department......

 

[filterflo]

Very similar in design, or so it seems to top loading GE washers..........

Underside of the tranny,,,,,pulley

Nice and clean and no leaks..........

Thank you again Mark for your kind generosity!

So, it that a Franklin transmission? Or didn't Westys get those until WCI took over?

Sweet, Jimmy! Thanks for the photos. That was nice of Mark...this club is chock full of great people. Love your Hoover dusting tools in the background. What year is your Westy top loader?

 

[Timonator]

Team work!

Its nice to see members working together and helping each other out..Afterall we are a rare breed and parts for these old machines are getting harder and harder to find...Hats Off to Mark for Helping a Friend In Need! Ok Jimmy..now its time to get to work..and get that changed!

Nothing like brand new NOS parts..........!!!!

Rich, my Westinghouse Top Loader is from approx 1968.......

Tim, Thanks for the boost! Sometimes it really helps to get the motivation going......BTW, how is YOUR 1960 GE dryer restoration coming? Huh? Ha!

Mark,

You really can't find a nicer guy and SO much fun to be around!

Conrats on the new tranny! Maybe you can help me figure out a problem I'm having with my Westy TL. Why does it "click" during agitation?

Pure Westinghouse Design........

The washer that I have is 100% Westinghouse design, NOT WCI/Franklin. Their design and trannies are similar, both with indexing tubs, but the Westinghouse tranny is all metal construction and quite sturdy. They had a tendency to leak oil similar to the GE's but not as much......and the lack of a tub brake prolonged their life quite a bit......

Wow a NOS Westinghouse transmission, now that's really cool Jimmy!

 

[jetcone]

You are correct Jimmy,

Mark is generous to a fault! I think he loves to unite washerboys/girls with their dream machines!
You rock Mark, welcome back online FINALLY! OY!

Gotta love those NOS parts - especially big ones! This will keep a washer running for a long, long time.

That was especially generous of you, Mark!!

 

[lightedcontrols]

Now you guys....

Ya'll are making me blush..... I'm sure as I dig into more of these boxes, there will be much more goodies to be found. Just glad to be able to get one of these old machines up and running again! Mark
