Hi everyone, has anyone ever tried using the Vari-Flex agitator in the larger and or extra capacity washer? ScantPear1985 made a couple of videos that used a 1964 both black, Super Roto-Swirl and Surgilator agitator in a 27 gallon Whirlpool Imperial Mark 18 washer. If I'm not mistaken, I believe...

Hey coldspot66, do you have a turquoise blue 4 straight high-vane Activator agitator?

Hey Robert, being that the shaft coupler is attached and tightened partially to the Maytag transmission splines and the agitator shaft, how can you protect the lower portion of the transmission splines from rusting?

I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH Robert!!! Thank you so much!!! So much more difficult trying to figure it all out without the agitator. I wanted to use the Kelvinator Ten Vane 'angel-wing' but, it's too tall. I can use Westinghouse's Spiral Ramp agitator. I would love the 1968 Spiral 'high vane' Ramp...

Well, when you first cut the shaft, how did you figure/estimate what length you be able to use?

Hi Robert, what exactly did you do to figure out how to cut the agitator shaft to the proper length? You had to make sure the space between the agitator and the bottom of the washtub was precise.

Does anyone have any literature, brochures, catalogs, repair, and or parts manuals of the 1978 Western Auto Citation washing machine? The later '70s would be great but, anything after '68 to '78 and after.

The fastest I've read was "71.5", and 70 OPM's with a 640 RPM for the high speed spins. I'm not sure if they began to reduce the wash and speed spins for their later 70's washers. Unfortunately, their machines were too cheaply made to compete with GE washers. Side note, surprisingly, the Ten...

I've learned that 1972 Grants Bradford and 1968 Co-op washers have 16 lbs. washtubs with the Ten Vane 'angel wing' agitator and the super-fast brake transmission. Have any of you guys seen the 16-pound capacity Franklin washers?

Sorry for your lost Paul. I can't wait to see videos of the 'angel wing' Ten Vane agitator in action, also. But, the story from the guys is, the 67' 21" tall angel wing agitator is not so effective turning over giant size loads. The agitator base is only 11 1/2" wide and the vanes are very...

Hhmm, that's pretty awesome Leon. Thanks for sharing those fantastic pics also, very much appreciated.

The Hamilton's agitator cap is the same style as the late 70's angel-wing agitators

Thanks for the pics of the transmission and video, Robert.

Hey John, it's not the original, copied the pic from an eBay auction, sorry. So, there seem to be quite a few 18-pound giant capacity washers with the "angel-wing" agitators that used tub indexing and non-indexing Franklin transmissions. Hi Robert, where are these pics of the transmission...

This is from a 1975 Kelvinator washer Repair Master catalog...thoughts

Really? What year did they change to the Norge made design with the fast acting brake latch? Norge made Kelvinator's? Have you ever seen a Bradford Grant washer, John? These washer were the non-indexing spin brake machines

I've read a little from AW.ORG about the Canadian Viking. I have a brochure of the Bradford Grant washer. I always thought Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Gibson, and the later Frigidaire were stuck with the agitate-ing 'hindering' indexing tub transmission. The "Early 80's Kelvinator Washer and...

Does anyone know what year Franklin stopped using the transmission with the super-fast tub brakes that enabled the non-indexing washes? What were the washer brand names? Did Franklin use the same tub brake transmission style or the design when they began using indexing? Or, did they change...

For $30!?! Keep it, you can place a Pitman tranny in it and install new bearings. $30?!!

Spinning...Spray Rinsing and Brake-ing ...everything is back to normal
