    re: Weatherbee Farm Newton, MA is not close to Rt.1 at all :) Weatherbee Farm is in Westwood, MA. Ironically, I've lived in both towns for long stretches.

    The 50 hz pulley and genuine Maytag/Whirlpool branded belts were installed today. I took the time to also lube the motor carriage slides. The motor carriage springs appear to be in good shape, I don't think this washer got much use over the years. As you guys and gals could imagine, the...

    eh, didn't take long to pick up washer #2 I bought a Maytag A610 washer last night from a CL seller for about the price of a large gourmet pizza. It was supposedly still working when it was removed from service in favor of a front loader. It had a sticker in the back from the original dealer...

    It looks like my belt adjustments have helped a bit since my last post. I've uploaded a video. Would you guys mind looking at it and see if the agitator action is up to par for an A512? http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsvgJC_O-fc&feature=youtu.be

    hippiedoll, thank you for the manufacture date info! I've run about 6-7 loads with it so far.. The agitator doesn't move as much as I'd like. I checked the belt tension for both belts and they look like they are old and stretched out. Since I have to get new belts, this will be an opportune...

    rp2813, there was an ad for a working HA806 for sale near me for a very reasonable sum ($40)... except i have no need or room for two washing machines. the ad has since been pulled so i assume it was purchased by a like-minded individual.

    Thanks, guys. I should have taken a "before" picture of the lint filter. It was completely plugged up and some of the holes required "mechanical" cleaning using a paper clip. Adding a picture of the tub (I am learning the ways of this site).

    Hi, everyone. My Electrolux/Kenmore front loader from the mid 2000s that I rebuilt back in 2007 recently suffered a fatal cracked spider bracket. I've had my fill of front-load washers so I decided to give top-loaders a chance. I found a Craigslist ad for a free working Maytag washer that was...
