My question is how easily is the tub supposed to spin?
Hi Brian, the tub should turn very easily in the counterclockwise direction. It should have anti-indexing brake so turning it clockwise should be difficult. I may have mixed up the clockwise/counter-clockwise but I don't think so. Either way one direction it should turn very easily. Does it not turn in either direction? This looks like a 1958 model because it has the newly designed Co-Axial transmission, '58 was the first year of this new tranny. |

Did it sound like a cement mixer before you took the pump off? With the machine on its side I'd try rotating the transmission pulley in both directions to see if you have feel any resistance, especially for agitation. From the Hotpoint service manual: Viewed from top of washer motor rotation is CW (agitate) or CCW (spin). |
