Kenny -
I can fix the centerpost leak if you don't want to mess with it! Toast in a belt drive (1984-1986) is pretty rare. As a matter of fact, the actions taken to correct the centerpost leak (bearing seals and agitator shaft seal in the basket drive) is something that every belt-drive should receive upon major servicing.

Sure I can post this info. I don't have any pics, but I think it would be fun to do a step-by-step photo shoot of this work. I'll have to dig-out a machine to do this sometime this coming spring. As to the bearing tools - I had to buy mine piece-meal on ebay. They were not easy to find, and are not out there new, not to my knowledge anyway. Stay tuned for later this spring. Gordon | ||

I always thought Sear's toast & platinum were a very clever marketing idea. Now go match this color at bargain world! alr2903 | ||

Toast!
I've only seen a few of these machines in this color, I always thought it was so much warmer and inviting than almond. At an estate sale once, there was this model and it's matching dryer. This was quite a few years ago and I didn't give myself permission to bring them home, but I lingered for a long time around them, just like I did at Sears when they were new colors. I have a Whirlpool electronic control washer in Platinum that was on a sales floor and never used although the sun took a bit of a toll on the cabinet color over the years. Very rare colors. Nice find!
