My washer has a pump that is too strong for the drains in this old

as long as the washer has a pumped drain and not a gravity type.

Being an expert seat of the pants, shade tree type feller, I
thought I better pass this by the pros here before I throw the
switch.

I already rooted out the drain all the way to the sewer, and the
roof vent is clear. Still not quite big enough for the newer
washer.

Many thanks,

You could try raising (extending) the drain the the maximum height
recommended by the washing machine manufacturer.
