Here, in my local area, wringer owners seem to be awfully proud of their machines as it is usually reflected in the asking price. Have a safe road trip! Bill |

Hey Jeff - great news about your find! And a pump model at that! I saw that listing on Craigslist, so I'm glad a fellow wringer fan - and AW member - has grabbed it! I'll be looking forward to seeing more pics (and perhaps a video) of your Model 32! Don't hesitate to ask if there's anything you need to know about restoration; as you know I completely dismantled and restored a Model 30.
If you give the serial number, one of the guys with the chart can identify the month/year of manufacture. Safe travels! |

congrats on your find.....would love to see more pics when you get them.....
wringers are a high commodity for your surrounding areas...popular, yes...but no one wants to give them up.. my parents and family are from Uniontown, McClellandtown, Masontown area south of Pittsburgh, every one we visit all have wringers, but they do have Automatic dryers....and as Bill mentioned, you can't pull them from those machines for nothing... |

should be no issue, as long as you ensure the oiler cap is turned shut. Probably a good idea to wrap some plastic around it, too. Of course, do the same for the wringer pipe.
I transported mine all the way back from Iowa with no problems. Since the seller says he has not turned the motor on in quite some time, perhaps I might suggest taking along some WD-40. Plug it in when you get there, and if need be, spray some WD-40 in the oiling port on the motor. Mine was initially seized, but after having done that, it fired right up and purred like a kitten!

Let that PB sit for 10 min after spraying it in the motor before trying to apply power. That stuff is REALLY flammable until the carrier evaporates. |
