Hi Steve, that's a beauty you have there. The fill valve is easily replaced with any standard KitchenAid replacement valve. The rust I wouldn't worry about, exposed cast iron rusts normally. You should also be able to take apart the drain valve and clean it, if that doesn't help I bet you can get a generic KitchenAid drain valve for the later models that should work just fine in this machine.

Woweee what a find hold onto it! They clean like nothing else! Steve don't worry about the drip from the cast iron drain valve. As you use it, it will seal up on its own and not drip, mine took about a month before it sealed right up. You have to be careful with that drain valve the original early ones were designed to be taken apart and fixed but the later ones have a grooving on the valve stem that if you take it apart will cause the valve to continually leak upon reassembly. I wouldn't touch it if it works, I'll scan the section on the valve and send it to you as a pdf. Ohh don't you just love the "clunk to clean" feature??!! I do! cheers jon |
