The grease line right below the tub is a little disconcerting. Does the tranny need a top up and a new seal? |

I’ve cleaned it up a bit and will test it out later this week. I’ll run it as is for the time being to get a better idea of what’s in dire need of replacing. I just cleared some space on my phone so maybe I’ll post a full cycle on YouTube. |

Can you provide a link or size for the tub band nut & bolt? |

It's a pan head slotted 1/4 inch bolt/screw with a square nut as I recall. I would just remove the old one and match it up in stainless steel at the hardware store. |

It leaks around the outer tub seal. I’ll have to do another run to see if it’s the full hose. How do I fix this?

They’re multiplying. Help. Actually I might get rid of the almond set in favor of the stackable SQs. I don’t have time to troubleshoot the washer and I’m looking for something quiet and contemporary to match the design of the house.
