Kan anyone tell me the model number of the 1966 model 600 washer? Also, I'm looking for a list of the model numbers (and descriptions) of the washers Kenmore made during the mid 1960's. | ||

If yours was truly a 1966 model, there were two models:
110.6604600 and 110.6604601 The '601 has at least one minor revision in the mechanicals that the users/owners probably would never even notice, but the difference is enough to change the parts listing, and thus, the model number. In this case, the '66 600 had the Roto-Swirl agitator. VERY unusual for a 600. The '600 had the bakelite drive-block version and the '601 had the splined, polypropylene black version. There may have been other minor changes, but this is the one that was obvious to me. My '67, has slight coloring changes on the panel, and a bakelite straight vane agitator. Gordon | ||

I think I've got one.
Mine isn't in super-wonderful shape, but it's got the Balck Bakelite Super Roto Swirl (block-drive). Somewhere along the way, it lost its drive block, so the agitator shaft has the splines. If I restore it, I'd just use a gold straight vane with spline drive I've got lying around. Mine has a supposedly rebuilt transmission too. It sat outside for a year so the white paint has turned chalky.
For me, a rebuild would include painting the cabinet (but not the porcelain top), inspecting the transmission, replacing all the rubber seals, and lubricating the centerpost bearings. It is reported to have a leak someplace as well that would need repair. If anyone wants it, it's available for cheap and would make a fun little projet, Dave | ||

Updated Photos: Those are great shots Gordon, thanks for posting. When I saw the frontal money shot I almost heard my neighbor Mrs. Brunner saying: "Now it's time to do the laundry." James | ||

What was the 70 series version model number, and the 1967 model 600 model number? The washer I remember had the infinite water level switch, self-cleaning filter, and a plastic measuring cup that fit upside down over the agitator. | ||
