That is indeed a 1965 model. If you give us the serial number off the back, we can tell you the year and week it was manufactured.
This was a prolific model. A late 1966 build date would not surprise me. Here is my machine, a slightly later version but still a 110.651471x (x = something, I can't remember. The higher that number, the more model revisions there were). Mine was built in early 1968 and is the final version before Sears finally replaced the model. I'm glad you rescued this! Gordon

Rhonda -
Thanks for the info. update. You said: The official digits from the back of the washer are: Model # - 110.6514712C00 Serial # - 12157J65C I am betting that the serial 12157J65C is actually 12157J650. If so, that would be production in St. Joe Michigan (J) in the 50th week of 1966. That translates into mid December, 1966 which agrees perfectly with the date on your literature. Other than a little bit of cosmetic difference, my machine does not have the filtering light. It has the later agitator in gold with the gold scrubber cap. In case you are ever shopping for parts, the C00 in your model number is not really part of the official model number. I'm not sure why Sears did that, other than to denote color (C for Coppertone), but the full model is 110.6514712. I think mine is 110.6514715. We're looking forward to your test results! Gordon | ||

Hi Rhonda,
As far as I know, no. You'll just have to check back to see if anyone has replied. If you do choose to go for the membership upgrade (only $12 for the year, less for less then a year), there are easier ways to tell if a thread has been replied to or not.
If you have not seen the info on what the upgrade gives you, click the link below.

This washer in the line, and white baskets
This model is at least 3/4 up the line, but it is not second to the Lady. This is considered (by model number anyway) a 70 series machine. There seems to have been one alphabet and one standard 70-series each year. There would have been at least one possibly two 80/800 series machine(s) before the Lady K as well.
As far as 1965s go, I have both the 65 Lady K and the '65 800. The 800 is a little easier to use as it has five manually selectable temps. There may have been an alphabet 800 that year too, I'm not completely sure. There are always hold-over models from previous years too... Sometimes all too complicated. Sears wasn't selling a line of cars, just washers. As to the white baskets, in the 1960s, they seemed to be used in 70-series models and up. By the seventies, I think they were LK only (1971-1975). By the late 70s tubs were blue/gray speckled with white, or beige speckled with white, the beige being in the fancier machines. I am not aware of any pure white until the 1983 line came out with the double coated white in several models including the LK. Gordon | ||
