Hi Alex
Welcome to AW. What you are describing does not sound like a 307 which has the hose at the front LH side and gravity drain. It is the first machine pictured below. What you are describing sounds more like the later series, which is the second picture below which came without wringer, manual wringer or powered wringer. These machines were largely unchanged apart from some styling differences throughout their life - some 30 plus years. As you have the grey hose for the back I am assuming you mean the internal hose from the pump up to the exit point at the top of the machine. If so, car heater hose, available from halfords by the metre will be just fine. There are enough of these machines knocking about so spares should be available from other members - dont forget the "tyre" around the pump drive too. I may even have some parts myself as I scrapped a single tub a few months ago, although not a motor. That said, these machines are both simple and robust so it is not that likely that you will need a new motor. Going by your email address I suspect an interest in vintage cars, several other UK members share that same interest. Al |

My next door neighbor as a kid, had a Hoover she brought from Germany with her of the same design but newer. Motor operated wringer you fit in its spot and either you drained out or wrung at the same time. 2 position switch for wash or wring and drain plus a stop switch. She almost died and went to heaven when her husband surprised her with used Maytag. With 3 kids, that Hoover just didnt cut it.
