It’s leaking at the tub where the clamp holds the two pieces together. I took the clamp off cleaned up the rust on the tub and the seal but it still leaks. | ||

A312 What kind of transmission is on the almond A312 washer and is it original? | ||

A312 Oh I was looking for parts from a helical transmission. My washer is a 1985 LA512. Apparently the next year they changed to orbital transmission. | ||

 Pitman is helical drive. Orbital is helical drive. Pitman and orbital refer to the gearing *inside* the transmissions ... not the method of driving them. Helical refers to the spiral groove cut into the drive shaft that extends down under the base, onto which the belt-driven pulley is mounted and climbs up and down via the spiral to release the brake and rotate the entire assembly for spin, or engage the brake and drive only the transmission input shaft for agitation. | ||

It is, that’s why I’d hate to throw it away. | ||

Brake assembly
Mine came off with no trouble using a board for leverage, and 2 clamps as in the pictures.
Notice the solid jaws of the clamps are against the ribs on the brake unit so when you push on the clamps you're pushing against the ribs. Also notice the little shim under each solid jaw to allow it to clamp against the solid part of the brake. This post was last edited 04/28/2020 at 16:12 | ||

Yes it works good, the only problem with that washer was the tub leak. If you want it please let me know I’m getting rid of it tomorrow. | ||

Steven you may be right
about using a board with a clearance hole for the shaft. I do have boards with holes in them around here. Too bad I didn't think of taking a picture at the time.
Sounds like you got the brake off okay. I'd like to see how you do with repairing that rusty area. And I hope somebody can take those machines before they get thrown away. | ||
