well....seems this 59 whirlpool that i thought i could fix just didnt make it..it sort of died on the table..the machine wouldnt spin so after checking all the moving parts on the bottom i figured it had to be something to do with the main tube and the spin tube..when i went to slide the trans assy out the spin tube bound in the main tube..tried to tap it free but that only jammed up the entire thing..so now the spin tube is frozen in the main tube..all i can do now it find a diffrent superstructer for the machine..so now i cant decide if i should just give up and scrap the whole thing or start looking for a good running 60s belt drive and rob the guts to fix this one.. i hate to trash the machine cause its so cute..does anyone have a good running pool

Sorry it didn't work out...if you decide to Krush it then keep the top panel/lid assembly, agitator, lint filter, and any other important parts! | ||

hum
not totally sure but im thinkin as long as its a standard tub it should work..when i was at the convention greg had the top to a 64-65 pool sitting there and i remember telling him that it was the exact one that my mom had when i was little. i remember him saying that the tops would inner change. so id guess that the guts should too. if you have time you want to go look around and see what you have? thanks chris

I have had excellent results using "PB Blaster" spray penetrant. Also maybe if you put the torch to it and heat the exterior of the tube the expansion will be enough to allow the tranny to slide out. Hope you will be able to save this one. | ||

Dont trash it just yet! As Austin says you can always save the top and graft it to another machine! Its such a looker! | ||

Don't give up and trash it just yet. You will regret it if you do. I am sure someone here would be glad to take it too if you give up. | ||

Good luck!
The advice the guys gave above is the same they gave me, and it's absolutely true--even with my Kenmore's unfortunate end, the spin tube was workable, though it was a MOTHER to get out, and it took a lot of WD-40, yanking, and expletives to get the thing free. Don't give up--and I wish you the best on this--what you've done is beautiful so far! --Nate | ||

well
after all the notes above ill give it a good try.. the whole machine is apart except for the spin tube that is stuck in the main tube. i tired to tap it out but that just made it worse..its totally stuck, so now as long as i can find the super structure..at least all the parts are out and all cleaned and pretty again..so when she gets back together it will look like new on the inside too.. if nothing else it has been a wonderful learning experence to say the least ha ha.
