Agitator shaft issue Thanks again all for the suggestions. If I lived where this ol'Lady is, I would tackle it for sure. I can't seem to find a reliable repair guy in town to tackle it.

Lady Kenmore Saga To continue this saga....Since the shaft is rusted as per the pix and it would be difficult to find a new shaft/transmission for it,since I understand the shaft can't come off the transmission, I had the crazy idea of chopping off the rotted end and welding on a similar piece...

Lady Kenmore Saga I did reach out to Gordon since he has the agitator that I thought was the only thing I needed. But looks like he has been out of pocket. The shaft and whatever parts it connects to is what I need as well, I assume. I'm in the Dallas area and Mom is in El Paso, TX, so that...

Lady Kenmore Saga Thanks Pierre, but she won't let me replace her washer at this time. With the shaft messed up, I guess it is a lost cause.

Well....I knew the consensus was was not going to be good. Y'all are correct, it would be hard to find someone to try and tackle this job. There's the hard part of finding the parts and then the knowledgeable tech. Best I can offer Mom is a broom stick to agitate the clothes with since right now...

Lady Kenmore Agitator & Shaft Issue Hey everybody; Thought I would post an update on Mom's Lady Kenmore. I had a friend go over and he was able to remove the agitator. It is done for sure, but a new one may not help due to the rusted shaft. See picture attached. Although a fuzzy pic, I can see...

Thanks DadoES Thanks again for the clarification & Pics. I will look for another replacement other than the original unless bendixmark or Gordon comes thru.

Lady Kenmore Agitator Needed Sorry, but somehow my reply posted twice. FireFox issue. I also found out the washer is not a 1974 but a 1986 model. if that bearing is not what holds the dog-ears or the washer didn't even use the dog-ears, then I'm not sure why it is not turning with the shaft...

Lady Kenmore Agitator Needed Thank you Pierre and Combo52. I will look for the other model agitator as well. Mom's did come out and my sister sent me a pic of the ring that attaches inside the agitator that holds the dog ears and which fell out when the agitator was taken out (see pix...

Lady Kenmore Agitator Needed Well, Someone went to Mom's house and removed the screw and the old agitator. Looks like the inside part of the agitator that matches up with the shaft is stripped so I do need a replacement that is no longer manufactured. It is 17" tall. Hope I can still find one...

Lady Kenmore Agitator Issue Gordon/KenmoreGuy64; I sent you a separate email, but let me know how I can get that agitator you say you have that will match the one I need. I have another guy going to the house tomorrow to tackle that bolt. Thanks again, Joe

Non Agitating KM BD Washer Ok...I had my Sis turn on the washer and she confirmed that the bolt DOES turn back-n-forth but the Agitator does not. So I guess that is good news and we do need a replacement. Some guy that Mom called is going Sat to try to remove the bolt, but if the thread is bad...

Thanks again Pierre I'll give Couture a look. Thanks again

Thanks DadoES I have copied your comments and will email them to one of the techs that is waiting for me to find the part. That screw needs to come off, but he'll need another trip to the house with this additional info.
