Hi Lance...
Great grab..and only at 0.99, bargin !!! The large rubber mount at the bottom of the spinner can is the resilient bearing, i think this is the most problematic area of any Hoovermatic. This is the issue with the most recent H/matic i collected, 3309L..I got a new base bearing which i tried to put in but have busted the base of the spin can trying to get the old one out. I am now going to swap the whole spin unit on my 3301L to the 3309L. I have got a 3174 which i changed the mount in, however the machine had been not used for about 20 odd years and the mount just eased out as it had got soo dry and i pushed a new one in. The bearing for these machines are quite difficult to get hold of now. Hope you manage to sort some out with it. Cheers Keith |

Although I appreciate that you would prefer to have it working at the very least you can save it for spares.
Now then young man, there is a good thread currently running on here about wringer washers, and I keep looking to see some of yours on there - especially that Ada! So, get weaving with the camera! :) Al |

Well done Lance, and what a bargain, the part you require is NLA although some do pop up on ebay now and again, and the australian seller did have some....its called the resilient mount and is basically the bottome seal for the spinner (large seal) which the conrod for the spin tub passes through also houseing a bearing!!
Its usually the middle rubber that spilts, unless its corroded the bottom of the outer spin can, turn it upside down, and check for any tears, have seen many fixed with loads of sealant, the trouble starts when the aluminium outer can is corroded with the powder etc..Heres the part... |
