Probably the best thing to do would be to replace only the tub plate along with the suspension rods, trans and superstructure (Spin tube and clutch assy.). Then transfer the tubs and everything else onto the new one |

You might want to use the 59 suspension rods also because the 18 lb ones are too long and there are some machines I have run into with an odd size suspension rod causing the tub to sit cockeyed. |

thanks for your fantastic offer but im gonna have to wait till i can find an early 60s machine with a short tub..you are way to kind to offer me one of your machines, cant say thank you enough..i think if i find an early 60s machine everything will just swap over to the one i have here.. i really hate to trash this 59 so ill let her rest till spring and decide then..ha ha that is if i dont bring home any more.
