The spark plugs are a real funny thing. Metric threads and English
wrench to take them out.

I am not even old enought to remember washing machines with gas motors..
Think God.. My parents had the wringer type with an electric motor. Got the
'modern' one without the wringer when I was about 6 years old in the 50's.

Mom used it to about 1980 when they built a new house. Dad kept it for some
reason but never used it, They bought a new one with dryer for the new
house. I had to get it out of the basement when they passed away a few
years ago. Had to drag it up about 12 steps. Man that thing was heavy.
They don't build them like that any more. It was a Frigidair (sp?) . I
bought one on dad's recommendation (he was an appliance repairman for a
store) when I got married in 1973. That thing was a piece of junk. Didn't
last but about 5 years. Their quality must have went way down hill. Wrong
thred for this I guess as somewhere on here someone asked for
recommendations.
