He's the expert! You'll love that machine. I still use my Grandma's from time to time, love that "slush-kunk" agitation sound. And welcome, these guys (and gals) are great people. |

I'll let Geoff chime in on the rebuild (IIRC the transmission needs to be pulled in order to fill it - but how much actually came out?), but I did post the instruction manual for the 1945 version of your washer a year ago, along with a brochure. Check out the link below: Enjoy! Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO swestoyz's LINK |

I've posted these directions before, but here goes again: 1. Release tension by pressing the red or turquoise release bar on either side. 2. Place hand under upper roll, raise the cap approximately one inch-and 3. Turn reset handle one quarter turn clockwise. To place tension on the rolls again: 1. Press release bar-and 2. Simultaneously turn reset handle one quarter turn counter-clockwise. 3. When cap drops in place, turn reset handle one quarter turn clockwise to again place tension on rolls. Should the wringer become locked in the "up" position during operation, follow the last 3 steps above. I hope this explains it a little more clearly for you. |

Thanks for the details, polkanut. That does make it more clear. I want to treat our new machine well and I sure don't want flat rollers! Bobby - thank you for your offer. I'll try sending you a message. |

If you do get flat rollers, is there any way to plump them up again? |
