No I forgot to take one. I will take one though after I get the machine all cleaned up. I am looking forward to the light that it has as well for the console. Hopefully there is another one for the tub. | ||

Great finds you have. The Kenmore is the same as the one I'm getting. Mine doesn't have the liquid detergent insert either. These pushbutton Kenmore's seem to be popping up everywhere lately. | ||

Mine might need a water pump. The guy I bought it from said it didn't drain well. Maybe I will get lucky and it will turn out to be a clogged hose. | ||

Actually, you're on the right track Kenny/Kenmore81, but that's not the right pump. There are four belt-drive pumps, 285317 in the ebay auction is for later machines with either manual filters or the basket mounted self-cleaners. The proper pump for all that era Lady Ks that had the detergent dispensers is 350367. I would exercise caution before I buy a pump however and determine if the lint filter is clogging. That is was common with this sort of filter. TopLoader - That looks like a washer we discussed here a few weeks back. Was it in Iowa or Indiana? We discussed how you can remove the iron deposits from the porcelain tub. | ||

I am not sure where the lint filter is. I cannot find an obvious place where it would be. The Maytag is an A510. I think I have a button somewhere for it but thank you for the offer. | ||

Does anyone know an easy way to remove the iron deposits from the wash tub? I assume it is suppose to be white right? | ||

Your Lady K is a std capacity
Hi Toploader, I believe that all Lady Ks were std capacity machines until 1974, when they went to the large capacty tub and the Penta-Swirl agitator (like mine). Gordon (KenmorGuy64) told me this one had the large cap tub when I first told him I was going to go look at it (but I forgot). Then someone mentioned it in my thread then I realized "Oh, that's right, it DOES have the larger tub"! I am liking my machine more and more as time goes by! Kevin | ||

OH SHIT! I broke this connector off accidentally while removing the hose for it. It broke off in the hose so I might be able to fish it out and super glue it back together.
