Hey, I've got a machine up for grabs. Tub and agitator in great shape, cabinet a little rusty here & there. Needs a new pump, but motor and all else work fine. I'm in Lake County, just two hours from San Francisco or Sacramento. Free to anyone who wants to pick up and enjoy some wine tasting along the way! Am hauling to the crusher in a couple weeks if no takers. Please call 707-499-8576 if interested. Thanks. Todd

I have a 1950 Kenmore. While it still needs more work, I was able to remove both the suds pump and regular drain pump, and replace the regular pump with a modern 2 port Kenmore/Whirlpool plastic pump, the style for all belt-drive Whirlpools from the mid 50s to end of production. Replace the agitation cam-bar, that way the proper lever works the newer style pump. I don't know when the cam-bar change came into production, possibly by 53 all you need is the new pump, no problems with the cam-bar.
As it turns out, as long as the suds valve works, this new pump also does the suds return, no problem. CLICK HERE TO GO TO akronman's LINK on eBay |
