I found this Oz made Simpson "84" the same day as the Westinghouse. I like the faux wood trim but i was also intrigued by this series of machines due to the shape and style of the "flying saucer" shaped gearbox. The machine needs new seals (which are still available) and a gearbox overhaul, considering its been throwing a fair bit of oil...you'll see in the pic,but from what i can tell, the gearbox has not seized. Otherwise it looks in good condition. Aluminium lid will also need a re-spray. Leon |

Looks like a Maytag under there. Looks like the trans is leaking oil :-( . |

Hey Nathan, As i said on msn...Yes..i'm happy i got this one, its closer to what i want. Just needs a little work. Gansky: This is a 1974 model and Yes...some of the mechanicals seem very Maytag. It IS a helical drive design but i think the gearbox is an Australian design. Not entirely sure if the motor pivots, have not seen the mechanicals in action as yet. Leon |
