For some reason I keep coming across machines like this...
"Washer was working when we quit using it, has been outside for 2 years." Not exactly the environment that these were designed for. They typically go for cheap. What parts would you say might still be salvageable? Anyone ever brought one like this back to life?

You could have left your comment, duke. No worries there. I'm just kicking myself for not picking up the semi-local wrong-color left outside A806 a while back, given that I've run across so many part and panel donors in the meantime. I've never had a washer apart to look at in detail, and my wife would likely murder me if I picked up three to make one good one, so I figured it was better to see what you guys think based on experience, rather than hauling a few home for a scientific study to find out how the weather exposure impacts them. :-)

Wouldn't a freeze cause the water to freeze in the washers pump bursting it? | ||

I can see the craigslist ad (like the vintage car finds) Ran when parked, AC just needs to be recharged. | ||
