Hey Jeff ... thanks for posting the pics, and I'll look forward to more as the restoration process continues.
Even after looking at the pics, I'm not clear on how the pump drive shaft engages. Does the lever knob push a rubber drive wheel against the motor shaft? In lieu of actually finding a model 30WP, if I could find the pump parts, I could modify my existing model 30. As a note, I just discovered recently that Maytag called the pump model back then "WP" - with pump. Later years, that changed to just "P". Regarding the motor mounting dampeners, the front one on mine had deteriorated to "black goo" as well, due to transmission grease leaking down onto it. Rubber and oil do not mix! I used "Permatex Gasket Maker" to make a replacement, but your idea of getting a thick piece of soft rubber (and I assume cutting it to shape) makes good sense. Let me know more about that process. Until next update....all the best of success with your restoration project! |
