these motors came in Brastemp Super Luxo models here. In 1977 brastemp launched its first 2-speed model (normal and gentle and delicates) and the first models of this machine came with this Emerson.
around 1982 these machines started to come with brazilian 2 speed motor (weg, TGM etc.)

That looks so coool . I've never seen the mounting plate for a Whirlpool built washer with turquoise paint. Did you paint it that?
As good as this looks it will last even longer if the spacer for the mounts is put in, and the hoses have proper hose clamps.
Are you going to change the motor, or hold onto in case this one goes bad?

In first post would fit WP built BD washers back to 1950.
It is neat to see your friends restored 24" WP washer in reply #2, the cabinet on the left side of picture has extra reinforcement steel, WP stopped doing that in 1960. when they added the transmission braces which your friends machines does not have.
There is no spacer missing in the picture Keith, you are seeing the tub mounting bolt right behind the transmission mounting post, also if the lower intake hose for the water pump fits tightly there may not be a need for a clamp.

I would think that motor would be rare in the U.S. also, being 230 volts and 50 hertz. |
