...a 1984 speed queen ha3001L,got it for $50.00 at a 2nd hand shop,though it worked there is a few problems that need delt with: -there was severe galvanic corrosion between the SS basket and aluminum hub,probably aggravated by the paper gasket between-this caused the basket to rise up off the hub about 1/4",causing the agitator to wear a 180* arc through the basket. -the agitator was loose on its drive block and worn where it fits the block,allowing several degrees of lash. -pump belt loose and glazed. other than those probs looks to be in good shape and runs good,was grubby but will clean up good! hopefully a parts machine will provide parts,if not can fix the bad parts on the machine. will be fun to run a load in it when fixed,has about a 120*stroke,about the same as a filter flo.
