right out of that plastic chute in the center of the pic. obviously it's doing it's job to divert the leak away from the transmission. this will be good learning experience for me! |

Was up in Minnesota this past weekend and parted out two 1-18's. Both had bad bearings. I got lucky and was able to remove both the agitator nuts on both machines using a 3 foot breaker extension on the ratchet. Stood in the tub and was surprised I didn't bust the bronze bushing. The bellows on 1-18's are NOT the same as the previous Unimatic/Multimatic/Rollermatic. They have a round hole instead of a D-shaped hole used before 1970. You'll need a tub nut wrench or a 1-1/2" box wrench to remove the hub nut if you plan on taking the whole thing apart. Not all 1-18's had oil bellows (see the photograph evidence below + the hub nut). Once you get the water bellows out you'll quickly discover if it does or does not have an oil bellows. Good luck!

That plastic diverter tray was used to protect the motor when, not if, a 1-18 leaked. You are being paranoid, spinning one dry shouldn't affect the tub seal. Matter of fact, when we replaced a tub seal, my dad always said to spin it first, to 'cut' the new seal. If it's been leaking for a while, you might have problems removing the tub support, they usually rust solid to the spin shaft. Ben, that trick with using your feet to hold the tub is what I used to do back in the day. But I NEVER saw a 1-18 without an oil bellows. I'm wondering if it had been discarded sometimes over it's life. |

Kenny - I always thought it was a myth myself until I saw this mechanism. It was a '72 machine, and, in the '72 Tech Talk it discusses a change they made to the hub nut by removing the provision for the oil bellows. On the other machines all the nuts had the ridge for the bellows - this machine did not. I guess it just happened to still be original! :) Ben |
