well with lots of cleaning and lube all the working seem ok. but brian had told me it would not run, so i tinkerd with it and found the motor would not start. so i found a capacitor in my parts pile and put that on and the motor now starts and runs. but im almost sure the motor runs to fast. so ill figure that out later. im just happy i got this far.. so just two more things.. big thanks to brian way up north and do the capacitor have anything to do with motor speed????

Hey Chris glad you are having fun with it. I couldn't get the trans to start doing anything but if it looks alright inside maybe it wasn't getting a signal. |

Cool stuff Chris! That transmission looks like a giant Mallory timer. I'll take a stab that with the adjustments that you make on the front panel, it 'programs' the transmission to do its deed. Let her soak, but I'm not sure what type of fluid it would require. Either something thicker like Maytag gear oil, or air compressor oil. Too thin and it may seep past the seals. Good luck buddy!

HA HA I THINK THE MOTOR AND TRANS BOX WEIGH A TAD BIT MORE THAN HALF OF THE TOTAL MACHINE GEES. THEN A BIG BELT RUNS FROM THE TRANS BOX TO THE TUB. I JUST CANT FIGURE OUT HOW FAST OR SLOW THE MOTOR IS SUPPOSED TO RUN. IT SEEMS WHEN I RUN IT OUT OF THE MACHINE THAT ITS GOING WAY WAY TO FAST HUM?. BUT ALL THE BELTS AND SEALS ARE STIL IN GREAT SHAPE SO THAT IS A HUGE PLUS |

Hey Chris, congratulations on getting such a unique machine, so the gearbox / transmission is the old "SpeedController" and then the belt turns the drum!!! Whats the metal switch thingy on the outer drum, is it an OOB mechanism?? Great to finally see the "inside" of one of these machines, looking forward to sweeing your restoration & vids of it in action!!! Enjoy, Mike |

run pretty fast. They had a horrible time with the trannys locking up. That revese o roll method took 2 or 3 clutches to work and they had to run in synchronization otherwise lock up time. I got mine running but it was a loud machine! There are two or three pressure switches mounted on the tranny that have to work for the tranny to work properly. One of mine was broken but I did find some new switch that worked. You'll see them bolted to the outside case. Most of these machines died in the first year of use because the tranny was so complex. A real piece of washing history. |

I still can't get over the transmission! It looks like a car transmission! Great scans Robert! It all looks so complex, but so engineered for the time period. Brent |

Good luck Chris----I've seen you breath life into some pretty bad examples, not the least of which are those Kelvy's. |
