Probably another reason that explains BD KN,WP machines are harder to come by-no parts!I have been checking the swap shops here-nothing but shredmores,shredpools. |

Tolivac -
These machines are still out there in fairly plentiful numbers. Sure many newer designs are more plentiful, but they are out there. People say they see them at crushers (unfortunately) and behind Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. all the time. Sears still sells a good many parts, some are apparently even on some fast-moving parts lists. People at the rebuild shops all generally say they're too old to work on. May be the case too for the swap shops? If you want a 1980s KM/WP machine, I have enough that I won't miss one, especially WPs. I have at least 5 1982-1984 higher-end Whirlpool Supreme models (pic below of one), several of which came from Arizona and are rust-free. Just write me here if you would like one of them. Gordon |

Like Gordon says..."everybody who's anybody should have at least a few beltdrives in their collection!"....lol.....this is the one I found on the side of the road, only missing an agitator cap, which is now complete thanks to Gordon (hugs), I have the dispenser also......runs perfect, and still can't find out why they threw it out.......although I did turbocharge it!...video to come soon!....
I like these 2 machines best, they seem ALL-PURPOSE machines....variable water levels, multi-temp options, basic yet plenty of cycle options and largest capacity... |
