    Maytag pitman transmission agitator shaft play

    Thanks gizmo! I’ll give it a shot. Do the bearings pop out or will I have to carefully drill the bearings out?

    Maytag pitman transmission agitator shaft play

    Thousands is an understatement, lol. Maybe I could rebuild the transmission and not need another parts transmission. Can I buy the sleeve bearings anywhere? If not I would like some dimensions as I could make my own.

    Vintage Simpson dryer info

    For $150 I’d say it’s worth it.

    Maytag pitman transmission agitator shaft play

    It has horizontal play, find that a bit odd as I’d assume those bearings wouldn’t go bad.

    Maytag pitman transmission agitator shaft play

    I have no clue how it happened as I just bought the machine thinking it would only need a little work, how wrong was I. Here is the machines agitator shaft:

    Maytag pitman transmission agitator shaft play

    Thanks gizmo! I’m just worried that something small will go out far enough that it touches the outer tub on spin, I will see what I can do. As for the O-ring I’ve heard people say you need to be careful when putting the shaft back it as it can damage the O-ring, is there a special way to do it?

    Maytag tub nut and brake wrench

    Some people are very friendly! That was very nice of him, makes me wonder why he got rid of it, either he didn’t use it anymore or thought the same thing as John.

    Maytag pitman transmission agitator shaft play

    Lucky! Thanks for the information. I’d love to have a center dial Mt, but this is the closest thing to one, sorta, as I said it operates just like a900-06 apart from not having an adjustable water level. As for the hole, I could use some plummers putty/JB weld type thing (mix two things...

    Maytag pitman transmission agitator shaft play

    Hi everyone, The transmission in the Maytag a23cm seems to need a rebuild (already knew that) it needs a new seal (o ring) to stop the oil from leaking all on to the pulley. But I noticed how much the agitator shaft moved and was wondering if anyone had any idea how to fix or if anyone was...

    I got the Maytag A23CM, but it has issues

    The tub spins now! All it required was me to the the transmission while the motor was running (very dumb idea I suggest you don’t do that) and now it spins very freely. Now I just need the mounting stem kit.

    Maytag tub nut and brake wrench

    Hello, I am struggling to find any of them as they are no longer made. Has anyone got any diagrams of them or is selling one?

    I got the Maytag A23CM, but it has issues

    Turns out the transmission has been leaking oil, is there an easy way to fix it? Or is the transmission stuffed? I know that in the later models they had a replaceable seal but on my machine I don’t think it has one. The tub also has a hole about 1 1/2 cm big any way to fix that? I find the...

    Single-speed Center-dial Maytags: "AUTOMATIC" filler or cycle buttons?

    If Maytag was bad, so was whirlpool! If any company is bad it would be whirlpool, they never really got anything right imo, hung suspension on the Belt drives and a plastic outer tub on the DD! Don’t get me wrong, I like whirlpool.

    I got the Maytag A23CM, but it has issues

    I’ll try and refurbish the top of the transmission the best I can, I have the LAT 9800 that I could look at for reference, I’d assume they would look the same when the agitator is removed. If the bearing is leaking (don’t think it is), I might replace it. The machine overall in not the best...

    Whoops, didn’t see the “bad top spin bearing,” lol

    I got the Maytag A23CM, but it has issues

    Thought the brakes have locked up, I’ve heard people say that, maybe I just misunderstood what they were saying Is it the transmission bearing or tub bearing? I’m thinking of doing a not so refined repair on this machine, wonder if I could put some oil on the bearing to see if it will free...

    It's A Sad Sick World Out There - Watch Out For Scam Artists

    This happens way too often My project car (pfp) used to be my grandparents, they took it to a sketchy mechanic and guess what! The oil (even though it was supposed to be 1000kms old) was black, my dad also took his car there a couple of times and then though “yep, they are sketch.” Dealerships...
