My 1970 washer has only had the pump, and inlet water valve replaced in all these years.

Imagine a new machine lasting this long. Ain't gonna happen!!

Amazing what can happen on the early color TV forum.
Everybody used to grumble about replacing the drive belt. If you followed the directions on the package, it wasn't that bad.
