This rusty old cloud...

All of the parts have been ordered for the SS tub change. Yay waiting!!

I'm not lucky enough to have the lifetime tub warranty. I saw the difference in the spanner nut configuration between the two tubs. The SS looks like it requires a washer up there too, most likely as a barrier between the two types of metal.

Thank you. I found a tub on Ebay, but it is for local pickup only. It's an excellent price($60) , so I emailed the seller to ask about possible shipping anyway. I will keep my fingers crossed. The first 2007 DD Maytag Centennials with stainless tubs were models MTW5800T and MTW5900T. It...

Capacity Gordon, Mine is the largest capacity. Changing the drive block is not a big deal. Do you mean the "spanner nut" when you mentioned the locknut? Thanks!

Stainless... Stainless would look might nice in my old Whirlpool. I might have to do some research.

I've started to notice what looks like small rust spots on some of my laundry after washing. Upon inspection, I notice some rust starting to appear around a few of the perforation holes in the tub. I'm thinking that perhaps the rust is being transferred to my clothes during the final spin. Is...

That's odd. Try this link instead. If all else fails, go to YouTube and search for "Easy Whirldry". Mine will be right on top.

Easy Whirldry I'm not sure about the video, but it sounds like you might be describing an Easy Whirldry. I have one. See the link for a video of mine. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG0k1nXFAN4

Does anybody have any experience with these OnGard systems? http://www.ongard.biz/about.html

Drill Adaptor I tested my last DD transmission with a drill before I installed it. If you use a 1/2 Inch drill drive adaptor, it fits well enough into the drive coupler that you can use a drill to turn it. It's much easier than turning by hand and allows you to easily test both agitate and...

Ebay Seller I bought a "refurbished" DD transmission from this Canadian seller about six months ago. I have no complaints about the transmission, it seems to run like new. I would go to them again if I needed another one...

3D Printing We have a 3D printer at work. It only works in solid plastic. I've also discovered that the "resolution" isn't all that good and I wouldn't trust it for anything air or water tight.

The fan is made by Hunter (a.k.a. Robbins and Myers). It is reversible.

Thanks for sending the video link JeffG. Did I hear the video correctly that it used to be your fan?

Motor The motor was all gummed up and it had a few loose stator wires that made a horrible buzzing sound when running. The thermostat was also messed up. The blades were not even close to being in balance. Rust galore, I took it down to bare metal, primed and repainted the whole fan. Now it...

Speed Selector The fan is variable speed, reversible, with a thermostat.

I've always loved old box fans. Over the years I have collected many. I've never seen one with this many features before. It was pretty rough. I just finished a complete restoration. I think the only that I didn't have to fix was the speed selector. Does anyone have any guesses as to the age?

I contacted DASA. They have a minimum order quantity of 48, which is 47 more than I need right now. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Can anyone recommend a place to get a rebuilt Direct Drive transmission? There are a couple of active sellers on Ebay right now but I just don't know anything about the quality of their parts. Thanks!
