Also looking forward to seeing pics of your progress. I've been fascinated with the look and style of these machines in pictures and catalog pages, but am not at all familiar with the interior structure of these. I've heard/known they were different than the 1960s BD, but have not had an opportunity to see what they actually look like.
Just from your single pic with the top open, it's obvious that the suspension is different (well, not centered in the corners anyway) and that snubber looks more like a toy compared to the more robust spring loaded ones mounted from the corner brace. Thanks again in advance for sharing your adventure! | ||

Removing the tub cover of a 56 Kenmore
You remove the snubber assembly to three eights inch bolts that attach the bracket to the cabinet, I think the tub cover will just lift out or pull up from the edge of the outer tub disconnect the hose on the inlet air gap of course also
The snubber assembly on this older machine was probably better than the later one. It looks different, but it was plenty robust, The agitator just removed by unscrewing the agitator cap. If the agitator doesn’t lift right off, take your fist and bang on the skirt of the agitator downward, that usually pops it right off you can also dump some penetrating oil on the top of the agitator drive block once you get the cap off.
