then I scratched the front while moving it in. Hand trucking it on the side risks damaging the front panel squeezing through doorways with the machine sideways at it widest point, i.e. front to back.

Good find. BTW- I always lay the machines on the back side when transporting so any damage won't be seen, same goes when using a hand truck. As for what parts to save, just about everything that isn't worn out or rusted..

still see these on the scrap pile Long stroke Maytag washers are scarce in my area these days, later orbital trans machines are available however. "toomanyhobbies" should head over to Combo's scrap pile.

keeping an eye out for another machine Your time would be better spent rebuilding the machine you have IMO. Long stroke helical Maytags are few and far between these days. If you can get a new agitator shaft and have a willing machinist thats half the battle, plus you seem pretty familiar...

Which grease do I use? Silicone grease is preferred but I've also used Sil-Glyde with no problems. What was the condition of the damper surface?

governmental proposal is for HEALTH reasons. "Health" Thats the hook used to get a majority to go along with whatever the latest tyranny the state is pushing.

How much would the R12 gas cost NOS 12-14 oz cans of R12 are going for $40 each and up on eBay these days.

special fitting required to add R12? R12 fittings are 1/4 SAE. So if using a can of R12 you'll need a can tap and hose for R12. (Preferable one that can be resealed to save leftover R12). R134 gauges and hoses could also be used with adapters.

I was still seeing Dusters and Demons Road salt here in the northeast did a number on the unibody mopars, My first car was a 1971 Dodge R/T Challenger, it was ten years old at the time and already had rust holes in the quarter panels, trunk, top of right fender and hood. And this was heavy...

the legendary Slant Six motor I had a slant six in Plymouth Duster purchased from a local junkyard for $300. Never changed the oil and ran so low once the engine locked up and stalled. So I topped off the oil, turned the engine over by hand with a breaker bar and she started right up. Drove it...

Best to investigate how to get access to disassemble, clean and apply new valve grease before the valve gets galled, damaged or the knob breaks. The Tappan Deluxe stove valves are easy to get at, the Holiday models look much different. http://tappantalk.blogspot.com/2011/01/burner-valves.html

Switch-Wl for Whirlpool....is ForeverPRO a good FYI: When a listing or description reads: "For" Whirlpool "For" Maytag" etc, thats code for an aftermarket part. Sometimes aftermarket items are okay, sometimes not. Depends on the particular part, price and situation, such as if its labor...

or find the 500W? You're looking at nearly fifty year old trans oil. I believe new OEM Maytag trans oil is around 90wt.

it was sold by Montgomery Ward I wonder how it ended up here? Never heard of a Montgomery Ward store in N. J.

Hopefully better than the cold white lights that pass for Christmas decorations these days.

France seems to be doing fine generating 80% of their energy from nukes for decades and selling power to neighboring countries.

great diesel cars that get amazing MPG and burn clean And that exposes the dishonesty and hypocrisy of the government push for EV's.

750 miles my 22 year old Golf TDI gets And thats why the Feds killed availability of diesel passenger cars in the U.S. (i.e. they went after Volkswagen with a vengeance for an infinitesimal emissions software issue). Can't have affordable high MPG vehicles competing with their electric...

people have no clue where their power comes from Electricity comes out the wall, everybody knows that..

how bad are the fees Ebay fees aren't the problem and pretty damn reasonable considering you're getting access to the entire US market and beyond. The shitty part is Ebay now wants a SSN and bank account number. Also, sales over $600 will generate a 1099 sent to you and IRS.
