Hello Martin - nice can opener!

On that Maytag though, was that Power Fin agitator shorter than usual or was it just the pic?

Hey Ben, the fuel injection is amazing, adds about 15 horsepower overall for a total of 210 HP, but there is so much torque, she still "takes off." I average anywhere from 8-12 mpg with a 27.5 gallon gas tank to feed that hungry 500 cu. in. motor.

Hey Laundress, the area is very suburban as you could see in the pics. Most homes are well kept, except well for mine with all these washers next to the house and on the sidewalks lol.

I had a freakin blast.......you can not imagine the intensity of laughs, food, enjoyment, washing, all around good time.....too many things to list, and yet packed into one day....

a trip to Disneyland could not hold a candle to a day at Brian's......

if we don't do a wash-in at John's next year, I think we'll plan a block wash-in at Brian's......not like we didn't have his front lawn loaded with washers already

you know Brian, with that front part of the basement empty, we could do washers in the front, and dryers in the rear.....how many more do you think we could get down there?.......time to think stacked tall tumblers!

but for now, I think Brian is in hog washer heaven!

Thanks for all the kind words Martin! No more machines right now for me lol; the front of the basement has other plans, such as my Pachislo slot machine setup, and another entertaining area. Soon I'll be using machines as end tables lol.

Thanks to Martin, I finally have two gas dryers hooked up so as to process the 7 washers worth of clothes lol. Couple that with the 60-amps worth of electricity Toggles set me up with on that side, I can wash and dry until my heart is content.

How was the kenmore speed uP?  Its cool and all but just doesn't have that sound i really love.

So true...

brianl's profile picture
The Kenmore definitely does not have that WP soon I've grown to love. It's a good machine nonetheless. That auger means business! Being the purist in me as I told Martin, I went back to the original pulley for now. I wanted to get one that is about 1/4 turn smaller than the one on there now so it will be kicked up, but not too much that it over stresses the motor and other parts. Plus even with the original pulley, that auger still turns the clothes over nicely. I will have to do a video this weekend to show you.

Brian's old Frigidaire

I would go nuts to watch an old Frigidaire like Brian's white Unimatic! It has been so long since I was in the presence of one of those machines. Someday I will have to get to meet you all! BTW, GREAT photos, Peter!

Smooth and quiet with the Woo-Woo sound which you love.....and just enough to give the agitation a little more kick and a slightly higher spin speed, but not quite as powerful as the bigger pulley....this belt rides the outter edges of the pulleys........satisfies my interest for now, but will be on the lookout for a 2 1/4 inch pulley in the future.......

How many machines should we change for you?
