Here is an 1974 Kenmore 70 Series Large Capacity washer. It has the Penta Swirl Agitator and 26 gallon tub. The 50HZ pulley really kicks up the performance! Laundry gets really clean with the increased agitation speed and comes out almost dry with the increased spin speed!

just cant beat a vintage washer!

The agitation speed of a direct drive with the 180* sweep of the belt drive along with its inherent smoothness. Imagine if they’d made these all along. There would have been no other manufacturers.

True. They could have kept building the belt drive instead of retiring it for the direct drive. That's not to say the direct drive was a bad machine. My mom had hers for 11 years and not one single problem. Now her Maytag Atlantis, that one was fixed 4 times in 10 years.

They Actually Need To Bring These Back

That's all these penta swirls needed was a little more oomph. Turnover is great. That penta swirl has to be one of the most graceful looking agitators ever made. Huge agitator base like the old Norge washers.

I love the old Norge. They don’t wash clothes as much as they bitchslap the dirt out of them

In the washing machine world, old school cannot, and will not be denied

Finally a Penta Swirl that can roll over a full load. Six new Levi's jeans or bib coveralls might be interesting as well. The suspension handled the higher spin speed pretty well. I have an amped up '65 LK that can really get some heavy and loud cabinet vibrations going.

Amazing I love the old appliances they kick ass considering how the way prices are made today

Pretty cool with the faster agitation and spin. Always thought the penta swirl was such a graceful looking agitator.

This reminds me of the VMW lineup on the short strokes. The VMW took a page out of the older belt drive's book with the hanging suspension. Only real difference is the snubber spring I believe.

@@DylBuilder1 The vmw is a result (albeit cheapened) of the combo of both BD and DD platforms (so I've heard). I like the agitation of the vmw machines . Especially the "commercial" versions.

OLD WASHERS ROLE!!!

The Soak Selector only comes into play when the Presoak (or Prewash) cycles are used. Setting it to Soak & Wash and starting at the Presoak cycle (or Prewash), the machine will run the soak, prewash, and proceed into the Normal cycle. Selecting Soak Only, it stops at end of the prewash. Selecting Soak & Wash and Second Rinse, it'll do four water changes (Soak/Prewash, drain/spin, Normal wash, drain/spin, rinse, drain/spin, second rinse, drain/spin).

Tharrrrrr show goes, love that screen spin spray

What an amazing job this did considering that they were heavy weight dickie's... You were right Eugene, you could of easily fit more pairs in!!! Nothing like those older Kenmore's to get the job done!!! Great video guy's!!!

I would imagine this larger pulley puts alot of added stress to the other components.

Eugene. How would this have performed without the increased agitator speed ? This is definitely one of the most graceful looking agitators of any manufacturer. Lots of style.

Gee i wish i had thought of this back in the 80s. Id love to see the discharge hose drain out and if it had that waterfall lint filter. That would've been awesome to see that too.

Next time besides the rpm sensor, bring a watt meter to see if the machine is using more power from the pulleys

Awesome wash action I always loved the belt driven models. I actually like them better than the direct drive replacements, there much smoother running. I would think that after a couple of loads with this larger pulley the transmission and motor will certainly get hotter and shorten there lifespan.

I totally agree. 💯 percent.

Another amazing washing machine. So sad current models are not as good as these. I bet if one had deep pockets with great marketing one could have a business doing full refurbish and even modifications to improve these machines even more and resale them for a good profit.

You cant beat a old school washer period even thia one imagine what would happen if they did this to a norge oh my

The one benefit I can see is that the spin will of course be more effective with higher speed. It spins more like the direct drives. I'd be leery of leaving the machine to run like this for any length of time. If it only increased the spin speed, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes, however, the GE Filter Flo only does a 90 degree rotation whereas this Kenmore is doing a 180 degree rotation. I would definitely love to have this machine. I used to have one that was avocado green with the penta-swirl agitator and the gold cap on top of the agitator.

Awesome washer! That's a machine for when your clothes are REALLY dirty! Personally I think it's a cool idea but don't like the extra stress it puts on the drivetrain that wasn't designed for that high of speeds.

In order to reduce the stress off the transmission and motor, the Dual Action Agitator should be used. The slots under the DDA fins reduce drag putting less stress on the transmission and motor.

What great spon balance

Agitation on this kennmore is amazing. These older machines were work horses. They run circles around any modern machine today!

To be honest i dont like kenmore whirlpool roper kitchenaid estate etc but this i dig

I liked the pentaswirl. The pulley mod was always fun.. lol lol

Almost a Westinghouse agitation lol

That thing is a BEAST! I love it!

Insane! I like it!

This is awesome!!!

WOW! Love it!

Wow! Wasn't that the same agitation speed of the last Maytag Atlantis?

That's an 18lb capacity machine. It should be able to take more than 6 pants. I can get 8 pairs of jeans in my Fisher & Paykel agitator toploader.

It looks like it has no trouble operating a bit faster. You cheated on us, whirlpool!

This is supposed to be one of the Quiet Pak Models

Changing the size of the motor pulley does that affect the motor or the gearbox

You're going to break the machine.

Cómo puedo encontrar esa polea en Amazon?

Eugene, great video. Is this your washer? I'm looking for one in the 70's such as this.

Need to test amp draw of the motor with new wrong size pulley.

Does the 50 Hz pulley still use the 1/4 in. V belt?

It has a baby woo woo sound.

You said a larger pulley for the turbocharge but it is actually the smaller pulley

So you basically said that the pulley was replaced on the motor

What is the motor amp draw compared with label and original pulley?

Do you have any vintage washers in good condition that you would like to sell? I’d be interested.

Looooooove it......

❤

700 rpm for the spin? Not unimatic territory, then

Old washer: now your clothes will get washer even better! Modern washer: umm human slave i cant do your clothes because you didn't fix me right. now error code and now you should get an older washer and not use me im easily disposable!

0.75 speed normal speed. 0.5 delicate speed and 0.25 handwash speed

I would not turbocharge my washe cuz it tripped my breaker
