Hi every body, finally after many troubles I managed to fix (at least now i hope so) my 1984 Whirlpool belt drive washer for which I thank everyone who helped me.
So I decided to take out the (almost) matching dryer I had.
Needs to be converted to LP.
Will a normal conversion kit work for this dryer?
What do I need to look for?
Thank you.
Posting a video of my beloved pair.
 
Also as we are at it I wanted to ask you a few questions about a possible transmission rebuild.
Now that I am very familiar with the components I know exactly what happened the first time.
Of course it got water in it but what failed first was the right cam bar, actually the pin, that rusted and seized and got stuck halfway.
Hoping that the gears inside are ok and can be saved I think I will just need a new shaft.
The shaft is so worn and rusted and got a deep groove in the rust where the seal used to sit.
Maybe the tranny cannot be saved, but in case it can be saved (and I will find out when I will open it) do you know what's the part number for a new agi shaft?
Just to have an idea?
Thank you.
