Fantastic effort. I am going to see if I can replicate your efforts. Where there's a will there's a way. If I can have a new post made and get a hold of a another tub I don't see why this washer can't last another 40 years. Let the hunt begin. What kind of business did you buy the...

Arris, Did the machine shop make you a new centerpost, refinish the old one or just install one that you had into the base? That sure is a pretty picture.

Good news! and bad news. The good news is I got the agitator off today. Woo hoo! The bad new is that I have some serious rust issues. After slowly pouring two pots of boiling water over the top of the agitator it finally busted loose. Thank you everyone for your advice. Okay buddies, I...

I'm gonna give it until my new agitator comes in the mail. At that point I will break out the old one. I haven't tried boiling water yet. I am going to do that tonight and see what happens. I have replaced the water drain pump, reservoir (it was broken and leaky) and the solenoid assembly...

Thanks for the agitator offers but I bought a new one today from Sears parts direct. The new one is designed to operate quieter as well. It should be here in about a week. I want to still try and salvage the one that's on there so I am letting WD-40 soak in while keeping tension on it. I...

I didn't know that the top of the agitator where the auger bolt screws in was open to the spline. That's good news. I will try some WD-40 on it tonight. I'll let it set for a while and tap on it using a block of wood. If I retain pressure on the agitator by leaving the winch in place...

My agitator uses the center spring. It's probably never been removed before and may likely be rusted on. I will look for an Agitamer today. If I can't find one then I may have to go the route of splitting it to get it out. If I do that then I will definitely be in the market for a new...

Alright guys, this ain't workin'. I filled the tub up with scolding hot water and let it sit for two hours. I applied the make-shift winch as recommended above (that's what the pics are of) and the agitator will not budge. I emptied the water with the winch in place and filled it up again...

Thanks for the help. I will try that today and I'll report back. I don't want to continue with the repair until I have the parts in hand but at least I'll know how to get that agitator off. I have been lurking (reading) on this site for a few years but now I have finally become a member. The...

Does anyone know how to remove the agitator from a 70's series Lady Kenmore Heavy Duty washer, model number 11072693430? The top half of the agitator came off easy enough. After popping the cap off I unbolted it and it came off just fine. However, the bottom half of the agitator is firmly...

Someone needs to buy this. I would if I had the money right now. http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/app/2320119097.html http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/app/2320119097.html

flyingethan (okc) Lucky! Speaking of avocado being a hard color to find now. I am actually having my appliances painted avocado because I am tired of trying to find decent pieces for my kitchen and laundry room. Nice looking dishwasher. One way to keep it from wearing out is to only use...

Second post Yesterday I told everyone that I was picking up an avocado green dryer today. Weelll, not so much. My wife got to look at it this morning and the exterior is in pretty rough shape. Yes, it works. But, I am after gently used avocado green appliances. Besides, I am having my newer...

First Post Hello everybody! I am new to this site but figured I would chime in. Bewitched was sponsored by Chevrolet so there were lots of different model Chevrolet cars featured on the show. Sometimes cars would be different episode to episode. Eventually Larry pretty much drove the...

Too Cool! WOW! What I wouldn't give to find a set like that.
