Hoovermatic
Congratulations of finding and restoring this great washing machine, they are fun to use and relatively easy to work on, great job of de-rusting the outer can and getting the resiliant mount seal out with tearing any more holes in it!!
By the look of your resiliant mount (see link pic) it looks slightly different to the ones over here but our has a strong spring and copper seals on the shaft access, looking on your pic I cant see the spring on your seal....... CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK

"and screaming at a hose clamp for an hour"
Ha ha , that sound about right for some of these repairs, glad to see you persevered and got the trusted Hoover twinny working, now make sure you use it regularly, most of these oldies have just as much damage from not being used...
Heres a link to the Hoovermatic 3301 which is the nearest model to yours here in the UK... CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK

Had to run it today when the Inglis had its timer give out halfway through a load. Does anyone know the diameter of the original spin mats? These things don't like working without them unless you want the machine rumbling across the floor. | ||

Spin Mats
Providing the clothes are placed evenly round the drum and pressed down, a spin mat is not necessary, its only to stop small items, sock, hankies from flying out of the spin can if they are at the top...
Correct loading should be items placed evenly around the can (dip in the middle for rinsing) and a larger item say towel or shirt placed over the items and tucked into the sides... If the spinner is vibrating excessively with an even load then you possibly have a problem with the spin mount / bearings / excess wear or not tightened up enough!!

Mats For Spin Dryers
One that came with our NIB spin dryer tore apart after a few uses so that was that. Went into my Hoover parts stash to see if some of the extra mats would fit, but sadly they are too small. No huge deal.
Simply do what commercial laundries have done since extractors came upon the scene. Make sure the load is properly placed in the machine and if required one can tuck towel or some such sturdy cloth over the top of the load. Mats and even the towel bit are only really to prevent small items from being flung up and over the tub. They also prevent fabric damage should parts of the load rise up during extraction and rub against the inside of the lid, etc... Small items should always be loaded at the bottom of a spin dryer load so the heavier objects will cover, this keeps them from pushing up being flug up and out of the basket. The rest we all know, the load must be pushed down so it is well away from the top of the basket. | ||
