I recently picked this up and am wondering if anyone can help me figure out what it may have come off of and the age of this and perhaps its value? Any help would be greatly appreciated. | ||

My Baby . . . . . . Bendix is a 1944 model, and it has the same motor assembly. My machine is the round kind. Someone in the club has one of the original Bendix machines, 1938 I believe. It would be interesting to know if that one has the same motor/transmission/pump assembly. Jerry Gay | ||

Bolt-Down Bendix Motor Assembly Hi Eric, yes this is a Bendix motor, transmission and drain pump assembly from a bolt-down Bendix, the identification tag on the motor shows that this motor is from 1947.
This may be a value to someone that has an old Bendix washer they are trying to fix or restore, amazingly there are still a lot of these motor assemblies still around, Bendix sold millions and millions of these washers before WW2 and for about a decade after the war till other companies took over most washer sales from Bendix. The mentality and thriftiness of many people of the generation when these washers were sold meant that they often saved the motors from old washers before getting of them, so there are still a lot of them around, as to its value I would guess anywhere from $5-50 if someone really wants it.
I am glad you posted that you have it and hopefully someone might need it.

Jerry my 1939 Bendix has a very different transmission than this model. Bendix went thru several design changes from its introduction to the 1940's. They probably sold upwards of 300,000 units before the war. I have the exact figure from their 1939 stockholders report of which I have a direct copy. They were huge before WW2 - the report showed the stockholders where Bendix was being sold =, they had dealers all over the world by 1939 with one in Peiking !!

Jetcone, very interesting about Bendix all over the world prior to WWII. I wonder if they were made in the U.S. and exported or under license like the Canadian WP/ Inglis ? Thanks A | ||
