Hi Austin ... oh boy; patience pays off! Do you think that maybe perhaps some more use will help lubicate the brake system and loosen it up a bit? | ||

Austin, If you take the brake assembly apart you will find the break shoes are covered with grease, this is normal. The first time my brother and I worked on one of these washers, we thought it would be good to clean all the grease from the shoes and drum area. We had a real suprise the first time the tub stoped and the whole washer turned about half way around. Jeff

Hi Austin, congratualtions on getting through a big challenage like working on the AMP T-Key and related parts. That's not an easy thing to work on, sounds like you had a great success there, and its something to be very proud of. I would leave the clutch alone for now. It doesn't quite make sense that the motor would strain when empty, but it works fine when its full of water. I would wait and run a bunch of wash loads through it, sometimes these things work themselves out just by running the machine normally. The best advice I can give to you is not to over tinker with the machine until you've seen some wash run through it. | ||

i wonder if machines such as the AMP ever collected soil between the two tubs? | ||

Austin ... HOORAY!! Did you figure out the water connections yet for the portable aspect? Did it come with the special coupling device? | ||
