Thanks for posting.

WOW Pat you have been busy, Many thanks for putting all that together, You can be the official East Coast Production Co. at all our get together s, Thanks.

Hi Todd the WP agitator mounted lint filter was sold for the people that either bought a BOL 60s machine or for the early 50s machines where no filter was available. I played with this many years ago and it was VERY EFFECTIVE, you can adjust the height of the filter on the agitator so the filter area is just above the washers water level. The filter assembly has huge pumping vanes that lift GALLONS of water through the screen where the lint is capatured and held. It is far more effective that the Norge, solid tub Hotpoint, Kelvinator and would give a GE FF a good run for the money. The only bad thing is that it does take up some room in the tub, so it may slightly reduce capacity.

When I get finished restoring my 1950 Whirlpool pair I will have to do some demonstrations with it on the red Bakelite agitator this washer has.

Really enjoyed that. Thank you.

It was perfect, except that I've enjoyed the "PAT COFFEY" sign off for years and was hoping to see the face to match the name.

I have never seen that version of the Kenmore 3 vane agitator. It is so unique and unusual that during its second appearance when the tub is free of clothes, showing the currents in all their glory, I thought I was seeing a totally different machine and agitator. Amazing transformation--with and without!

And I think that is Mother Superior's FOURTH Patio Cart not the second!

Qwaharry All!

Just a link to the original thread of the 2/11-12/2012 Wash-In:

Pat what very cool pictures and video !

I saw that model Kenmore when visiting last year at the warehouse.

The best thing about that washer is that I grew up with that model next door to me.

The Russelle's house they had seven kids , when they got the new washer in the 70's

Mr. Russelle told one of his kids to get me and they did.

I came around the back yard you can see a window where the basement was and the machine was on.

Boy all you heard was the splashing in that tub !

That was the the first Ex. Large capacity Kenmore that I encounterd.

The SAME exact one since I hung out there practicly eveyday Mrs. Russell washed in that washer daily.

She would not let me look at it but I herad it with the other kids as they watched cartoons

my mind was on the washer.

Loved it when she used PP cycle it took much longer lol.

This machine also cavatated when washing.

The lint filter in it was gold bed of nails style.

So 20 yrs later in the 90's she was no longer washing he repaired it twice and then got a second hand

Vari - Flex model.

Then That lasted two yrs then when my grandmother past I gave him a DD model from my home.

He kept the 70's model washer in the back of the house And ask did I want it, I could not .

So Gordon if your getting this machine I hope to see it or at least get a some great shots of it.

I have open the lid on this washer for many yrs.

Thanks Pat for sharing

The first rounded straght vane for ex-large tubs I seen in design and ...

BOY CAN IT MOVE WATER !

Darren thanks for posting the pre  restoration picture, I didn't think to take any before tearing into this machine.

I tried to keep this machine completely original in looks and function, the only thing that I am missing is a Gold bed of nails lint filter, so if any one has one they want to sell let me know thanks. John.
