Behold! I was surprised to find the innards as clean as they were! I'll replace the gasket and do a little touch-up painting with Rustoleum appliance epoxy around the bottom inner lip.

Pumps do seem to be an issue with SQ wringers. 
IIRC a member in upstate NY had a late model SQ wringer that needed a new home, and said that unit's pump didn't work correctly from the start. That was a new or nearly so unit, again IIRC.
You would think that SQ kept making wringers almost as long as Maytag more spare parts could be had NIB, but that does not seem to be the case. Meanwhile Maytag stuff is all over the place. | ||

IIRC from my research
While things may have varied locally in order of sales Maytag, Speed Queen then Kenmore dominated conventional washer sales. May have the order of last two switched, but you get the point.
This probably explains why models from those three brands of all vintages are the most commonly found today. Maytag of course had a national sales force that stretched from Maine to California. Kenmore via Sears either stores or catalog pretty much the same. Thing about SQ wringers is the largest model held a huge amount of laundry. Something like 14 lbs. I also like the fact SQ's tub does not have exposed bolts like Maytag and some others. The whole SQ saga is discussed here: www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... Joe Barlow and John Seelig as Barlow & Seelig Manufacturing, then McGraw Edison, next Raytheon, then Alliance Laundry systems. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Quee... Have seen early SQ wringers (with jade green enameled tub) and they look rather interesting. | ||
