Thanks to the handy vvideos found on Youtube and at Appliancepro, I was able to repair my washing machine. I was able to replace the rusted top, put on a new tub covetr. The tub was still not level. With some detective work, I found that the tub had jumped off the rod in the back. I was able to use a crowbar to lift the tub ip a few inches in order to get it back on the rod. Now it is level, quiet and working perfectly. As an added bonus, it looks like a new machine. Got some new SS hoses also while I was at it.
