this was on e bay last fall with a starting price of $1.00 and no one else bid on it so i got it for a buck! i did send the guy another 50 bucks for it as i felt it was worth more than a dollar! jim picked it up in philidelphia for me and delivered it last nite. i love these old kitchenaids and have 2 kd-12's but don't have a kd-10 or kd-11 and this is my first kd-14. i wanted this one as it's the last model before they completely changed their design and introduced the hydrosweep with the kd-15 in 1964. this is a gravity drain model like one of the kd-12's i have. i like the gravity drain models better. they seem simpler, in fact they are! it was after dark when jim arrived so i just left it in the driveway til this morning. i had no idea what i was getting till i looked at it just now! i think it looks good so here are some pics for anyone interested in these beautiful old kitchenaids! |

NICE machine! Congrats. I like my 14. The 14s were quite a step forward from the 12s. |

with the 14 model is the timer! my kd-12's have a wash followed by 2 rinses and that's it! the 14 models have a double wash and 3 after rinses! now that's a big difference! i'm gonna love using this one when i get it rebuilt. in fact that's the reason for the detergent cup addition no doubt. previous models didn't need it. |

the motor and the gravity drain line. all looks good from here and i bet this one will need little work. i did order a new pump seal from hobart just in case. there are about 6 of em still out there in various locations across the country if anyone else needs one. just call your local hobart office. i have the part no. if anyone needs it.

for the kd-14. i will bring it inside today but it will probably be awhile before i begin working on it. my rollermatics are ahead of it on the list to finish. but i am looking forward to restoring this beautiful classic kitchenaid! it will feel right at home here in my "appliance" room waiting patiently for it's chance to shine again! hopefully i will have it done by summertime! |

And people say a dollar doesn't go very far these days... LOL Looks like a great machine, Pete! I had a friend of a friend who had a dishwasher like this in her condo and said she didn't use it because the machine didn't drain like it did when it was installed in her house... Maybe I should try and track her down... LOL Enjoy the new KDS14 - it will definitely shine again soon!! |

pump myself. only one of my kd-12's has a pump on it. i have a lot of kitchenaids but few parts for these older models. i don't have any timer knobs either, just the ones that are on my machines. it would probably be easy to hook a drain pump on any of these. all you would need would be an external drain pump from any dishwasher or washer for that matter. you could easily reduce down off that cast iron drain outlet. i used a rubber boot and pvc bushings to reduce down to 1/2 pvc for my gravity drain model. i got all this at home depot. you would just have to wire the drain pump in thru a relay so when the solonoid kicks off and the drain valve itself opens the drain pump would turn on, a simple thing. hopefully maybe someone here knows of a timer knob somewhere. and i know most new dishwashers i have seen use an external seperate drain pump so that should be easy to obtain. good luck! |
