By the way Brad, I also like the release bar unpainted. It shows off the logo and dresses up the wringer being unpainted. Great thinking !! Jim

Stan, I read this thread daily and just realized you ask me a question I had not answered. I have no idea why the Amish throw away the filter agibitators and pumps. I guess it is because they do not believe in anything modern or that makes their lives similar in any fashion to us English...

Hello, The smaller diameter wringer rolls are for the N models only and the larger ones are for the J's and E's. They are very hard to find around here. I think Phil still sells new ones. I was lucky and purchased 3 NOS bottom rolls of the bigger size and they work great. They are expensive...

What a beauty she is Brad. I would love to use her just once and I would be happy :-). Jim

I need to clarify my comment about special dispensation from the pope. That was to be funny and a joke. However, you are right about it being all about money that is not going to the on location laundromat. I had to get special permission from the board of directors for my portables. The...

I am in. My picking up my nearly new Maytag N2LPS has been put on hold. I hope it is not a definite happening tho. I live in a huge residential community owned by the churches of the town I live in. They have many restrictions about living here. One of them is NO washer/dryer hookups. I...

Geeze !!! What a beauty she is. It really makes a difference with the tub painted. You and Larry can be very proud of the work you have done on these wonderful Maytag's. I'm just sorry I could not find a bushing for you. Hopefully you will find one from your contacts. Anyhow I am green...

Well, no one can say you don't deserve her to operate as a NEW gal with all of the work you have put into her. I am glad/happy that you have been successful. I know it was very trying to you and we all here were pulling for you. Many happy wash days ahead await you Larry ! Jim

Steve, You can still get hoses with the threaded ends. I thought Phil had them. Maybe it was Dave who did. The Amish make their own when needed but I don't know how they attach the end to the hose. I do know that the hose they use to replace is the same diameter as the originals. Mine all...

Thanks to all. I am anxious to get her home. She is in good hands with Chris tho. He has 3 gals himself. He is another one doing a restore on an old E. I will be going over to get her in a couple of weeks. I have to wait on some parts to come in to take with me for Chris. He needs a...

Just had to finally let my bubble break and tell you all about my new baby. My friend Chris in NY found her on Craigs List up there. She is an N2LPS with the wrappers still on the wringer rolls. Chris said she was dirty but he gave her a good bath. I ask him to remove the papers from the...

The mirror finish you have put on that apron is amazing !!!!! I wish I had the energy to do that. You are following in Larry's footsteps in your work. Thanks again Larry for cutting a path in the road for all who are tackling this job. Best, Jim

Good Grief !!! Now Bessie May's "diffugalties" have moved to you !!! Hope your thumb is better soon. As you know, I am a fanatic about my 3 gals. Today is washday in all 3 of them. It takes longer but they each get used and then cleaned up weekly. One washes and the other two rinse...

You are right now where did I put my gun ??????????????????? LOL

Larry, The Amish around here are very nice people but do have some bad ideas including discarding of parts others want/need. We have the other groups here also but I get them gone quick by telling them I am a registered sex offender LOL. Not really, I just slam the door closed in their faces...

Larry, I bought a new after market "agibitator" from Phil for my E. The old one needed a new spline and I didn't know anyone who could put it in for me since I didn't know the Amish back then. Anyhow, the new one has a bad habit of knock knocking when it reverses since it has a plastic spline...

They have promised me every one that comes in now. Lets just hope some come in in their units to be rebuilt. Pumps too !! Jim

Holy Crap !!! I was not wanting to read this news Larry. I tell you my friend, you have to put out a shingle for trouble shooting Maytag Wringer Washer problems. I am happy you have all of this in you because I have none of it !!!! Please keep us posted on this latest problem. We are all...

I have a story to make everyone who wants a lint filter agitator cry. When I became acquainted with the Amish men who restore these ladies I ask them about them. THEY THROW THEM AWAY ALONG WITH ALL OF THE PUMPS !!!!!!! It seems that Amish do not like the filter nor the pump. They have...

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH What I wouldn't give to have an agitator like that !!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are so very, very rare. I am happy you have one with the lint filter. I will just go to the corner and pout LOL. Jim
