Re: Td Drum rubbing
Got an IS60V to do tomorrow with snapped belt and snapped shaft. Am armed with thicker seals and pad conversion kit and washer. is this correct? Or should i replace the drum as well?

Re: Td Drum rubbing
If I follow this correctly, the straight backed drum will try and foul the casing. The thicker sponges and washer are supposed to push the drum forward and increase the clearance.
The new drum with the rolled-in edges has more clearance to start with.

depends how old it is to be fair
you need to be looking at the serial number
if the rear of the drum is very close to the back panel, then really, its the best option
trouble is, if you fit the shaft kit and belt, all you’ll get is ‘ it didnt scrape before you repaired it line’
when you take the drum out, look around the panel and see if its been rubbing, and point it out to the customer, or ask them if its been noisy, previous to your visit, that’ll help
good luck

Or more to the point, how much the customer is prepared to spend. :rolls:

exactly.. ive took to leaving the old sponge on, and using the new one and stick it to the areas where its been scrapin
coarse, but it tends to work!!!
Re: Td Drum rubbing
ive found it all depends on how flat the floor is, a few pieces of cardboard here an there under feet and make sure its on a forwards tilt 😆 job done lol smartin
