call me. That looks like a mid-60's brute with the old straight-vane. |

I would guess between 1965 and 1967. The first year of the curved metal handle was in 1965, and I believe the last year of the black str8 vane was 1967. Have a good one, James |

Alot of response to this little washer! Too bad I'm not able to pick it up because I would sure use it. Sounds like it was another one of those "crossover" designs but from the 60's. Funny how the 24" models seemed to have that done to them just like in the 80's with the DD models. This one sure is in great shape. Even the lid hinges aren't bent to hell. You know how all those heavy lids usually sag and chip the paint on the top. Not this one. Anyways, I'll daydream about a Kenmore now...hehe. All this info gets me hoping for one. Jon |

I DO know that the inner workings of the portable Lady Kenmore belt-drive washer I have uses almost ALL of the same components as its full-size counterparts. I should have taken pictures of it when I was replacing the water pump. I believe the only differences are the size of the tubs and some cosmetic stuff. Same belt, motor, timer, etc. otherwise. My guess is that the transmission must have some kind of tweek to it that makes it spin faster because I believe it clocks at about 850 rpm. It also spins in the opposite direction (counter clockwise) which might mean that the motor is upside down? Anyone? Jon |
