It's definitely worth an inquiry! I guess good news is the tub doesn't look like it leaks so you're off to a good start there...I say go for it. You'll get lots of support and encouragement from folks on this website. Lord knows they've helped me out many times with questions and problems when I had vintage machines.

I say definitely explore tearing into the '69machine and seeing what you can do. Best that happens is you find it's easily repairable and doesn't have much rust, no leaking issues, etc. Worst case is that you have to part it out and maybe save another old washer later on. But definitely keep the 2008 machine hooked up and in use while you work on the old Kemmore. That newer machine is a direct drive and still has good availability for most parts. Some direct drive parts have now been discontinued by Whirlpool officially, but I'm sure they will be floating around the internet for some time to come since so many of those washers were made for so long.

Yes, definitely worth looking into. Those machines are getting hard to find. That’s a good find. | ||
