A Full Size Hoover Washer and Dryer! This is the set that Gansky bought in Early Iowa a couple of years ago. He gave them to John L. in DC who kept them in his warehouse for a couple of years, and traded them to me. Being from very near the N.Canton Hoover plant, Im especially excited to get these.......

Hoover Tub and Filter. The lint filter goes in the empty spot on the left of the back of the tub. Its missing from this washer. Can you imagine the hunt thats going to take to find one of these? Im sure its out there somewhere!

Agitator removed.........this is very close to a Westinghouse top loading agitator. The block/spline is different than a Westinghouse tho.........talk about complicated!

Agitator post..........This washer is pretty rough. Its going to need just about a complete rebuild. I had bought a similar vintage Blackstone washer a couple of years ago which will end up being the parts donor for this washer. Hoover was outsourced badge engineered from Blackstone.......

The lint filter on Hoover is not removable. It is a 360 degree mesh ring around the front door port opening......Seems quite unique. Im eager to get this dryer working and test it out to see how all these unusual features actually perform......

It BeHOOVEs me to congratulate you on this rare set. There's lots of Hoover in Aussie but probably not a lot of them here. Just don't use a Constellation motor or the washer will float off the ground and go where it wants to LOL. | ||

Wow! There can't be many of those left! I never knew Hoover sold washers/dryers. What an awesome find! | ||

Yes, Hoover sold these in the States, but for like 25 minutes* in the early 70s. Good catch, Jimmy. I will be interested in hearing progress. Would Lime-A-Way or CLR take care of the washer lid? *A slight exaggeration, but I only remember them on sale for about two years. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||
