Bought this Norge washing machine last year and it`s been sitting in the corner in bad shape.
The wheels were all broke loose and it was pretty rusty, so yesterday we dragged it out and fixed her up a bit.
Going to dump a couple buckets of water in it later and see how she works, cool beans huh Six.

Bill in Oregon wrote:I haven't seen that model before, Pitchy. A friend keeps an old Maytag with hit-and-miss gas engine tuned up so he can wash the dog beds in it.
I hadn`t either Bill until I seen this one, we`re going to give it a try shortly.

donw, my Mama, actually my Grandmother, but she raised my older sister and me as her children since I was 3 months old. She was born Jan 22,1897 and the oldest of 11 children. And we had (Daddy finally bought her) a Maytag wringer washer, but she used a #3 washtub to do the same stuff that you were talking about and use the blueing liquid on our blue jeans. You are right about the women today, they were never brought up to work like the old fashioned way. If they were told that they had to wash the old fashioned way there would probably be a divorce. Mamas daughter in law's family used a big old cast iron tub hanging from a metal tripod with a natural gas pipe line from an oil well for heat. All by hand with a stirring stick for the agitator. A lot of work for a 6 person family. You really had a Wash Day all day with the solar powered dryer ( a clothes line).

Pitchster.....cool beans is putting it mildly...I'd say frozen beans on that baby.
I stay with Maytag because that's all I know how to work on.......if they break....I did have to put a belt on one ...long time ago.......there's an Amish guy in Lancaster county that rebuilds the rollers.
Maytags are very popular with the Amish.......they buy and convert them to gasoline engines. As they hang their clothes outside on a pulley system ....underclothes and all...you can see they get them mighty clean....never did see a racing strip ......another thing, these people make their own soap...don't know what it is, buts its strong. I bought a few bars of it last year and still have some of it....it's brown and you better not get any in your eyes.----6
Thanks guys, I had a maytag with the gas engine years ago think I paid 50 bucks for it, now days they run four hundred and up.
Fun stuff all around, we only use ours in the summer time in the porch, would be agitating ice now.
