    Who would be interested in getting new Maytag pitman agitator shafts?

    Anything can be rebuilt or re- created. I will admit washers are the most difficult. I frequently fabricate some stove parts and they are 80+ years old. It’s nice to find a nos part on eBay and just replace it, but sometimes you have to rebuild. Back on topic, I still will visit a machine...

    Update from me: my new washer and new questions I have

    Delivery guys I can tell you this as an appliance store: yes, we will take the doors off, but we are popping hinge pins off only. It’s absolutely against the rules to take a screwdriver to customers home. Unless you specifically told him it was a swinging door he likely assumed it was just...

    @ qsd-dan I mostly agree with you but a dose of reality may help you see my way. You are 100% correct in your process to rebuild these pitman trans to give another 40 years of service. However, most of the people who own these vintage machines are enthusiasts like use who will use them...

    Who would be interested in getting new Maytag pitman agitator shafts?

    An Idea First, I need a bit more information. 1. It looks like the 2 bronze bushings on the top cover of the trans are not sold separately. Does anyone know the specific dimensions? alternate source? Maybe a hidden part number? 2. I was wondering: Why cant I just install a very thin...

    Who would be interested in getting new Maytag pitman agitator shafts?

    @bradfordwhite It sounds like you are implying we are a bunch of idiots. Secondly, basically ALL of these particular shafts are pitted. Some are usable, some not Regarding the numbers: I’m fully aware that there maybe only 20 people who buy one shaft. At $75 each I know I can recover at...

    Not sure It’s splined at the top and a hole through the shaft on the other end. There is also a bushing that would need to be pressed in. I think it would be easy enough to replicate

    Who would be interested in getting new Maytag pitman agitator shafts?

    I want to have some made. It’s a shame that one little part could keep a rebuilt Maytag from going another 40 years. I have some questions for you all: 1. Any benefit/ drawback from having it made in stainless steel? 2 can I get a show of hands so I can gauge interest. It’s going to be...

    WTB Maytag washer pitman agitator shaft 22002124

    Or a very long term loan. I want to get this shaft re created. I think a machine shop would be able to do it as it’s relatively simple. I would much rather buy as I just don’t want the responsibility if the machine shop loses etc. it must be new in order to get accurate measurements.

    What is the strangest stuff you found in an washing Machine

    1. I once found a $20 bill and some change in the coin trap. 2. I was cleaning out my vacuum that I used on road calls and found a men’s ring. I got $350 for that in gold scrap. It probably came from a dryer.
