And this is the gearbox. What condition does it appear to be in? This is my first classic washing machine and a real beauty so all the help I get will be appreciated. Then I can tackle the Rockerswitch Simpson! (see other post). |

Hey Ash, The motors for these machines "pivot". I actually have a spare one i pulled from a similar machine. The gearbox pic isn't that clear, but if its not leaking too much oil, it should be fine, i would be trying to take the agitator out to see if the seals are ok and that its not leaking any oil into the tub, otherwise, you'll need to replace the gearbox itself: the parts for these gearboxes are NLA. Some rust converter should tidy up the base nicely. I think a motor from any similar Simpson from the era "should" work, but a later Maytag motor won't. If you were prepared to pay for the freight from Bris, I could send you the motor i have? Just a thought. Cheers Leon |
