here is a question does anyone now or in the past have or had one of these? I did years and years ago and that one ran great, but then I sold it. so when I found another one I bought it but this one has issues. ran fine empty put the little tub in agi fine but squalled on spin, added some oil to the case seemed better washed some socks was ok spun ok at first then began to really squall so I let it sit refilled it now its louder than ever with a squall and a loud ratcheting sound during agi and spin so I drained it took the tub out and still all the noise. I kinda think it crapped out. I want to take the trans out and crack it open but the the life of me I cant figure out how to get the trans-shaft assy out. has anyone else taken one of these apart? I really cant hurt it much since I kinda killed it. oopps

I don't recall a bearing on the top of the shaft. I'll look at mine again. Yeah, that tub nut was the WORST part of the restoration. I ended up beating mine off with a hammer and chisel. |

the basket sits tight so that seems ok. I did try and get oil down the spin shaft where it sits inside the agi shaft but the oil did not flow down into the shafts, even let it sort of pool up and let it sit but the oil dosnt drain down into the shafts. I just need to get that nut off and drop the unit to tinker more.

That's good to hear! What did you use to fix/replace the hose? |
