I see.

Well, I'll enlighten you about this which you probably already know, but you'd better treat that blower (Impeller) like an egg. One misstep and you will break it and that includes replacing the bearing in it. I've never done it but it sounds scary. I know replacing the bearing in the drum...

I can pretty much guarantee that you won't get a passing grade on that. I've tried and one time was marginal.

They're supposed to be lint filters, but they don't work very well, IMO.

Duke, I don't know if the owners manual mentions anything about cleaning those screens. The service manual does and yes in one of my rebuild threads I did blank off those screens with JB Weld. That made them pretty hard to get in and out. Eventually I found some blanks that were made for the...

"I am deeper in than I thought I would need to go already." Yeah, we all know that story. Doesn't matter what older machine you're working on, if it's been used much it can easily turn into a big job. It's like when you decide to start remodeling your house and you tear out a wall or pull up a...

Does anyone know of a pink machine like the one on the home page or is that just a dream? They did come in that color didn't they?

Interesting thread, guys. I too have always found these machines to be so intriguing. The only time I've ever seen one was at Greg's house and was mesmerized immediately. Are these the machines with the matching dryers that vent into the house and use a solid calrod type element? If I recall...

OK John, You say you have invited me to call with any concerns I have with you. Well, we've talked on the phone once, several years ago and it was a fairly pleasant conversation. I think it was before Thanksgiving or Christmas. Probably a busy time of year. I don't remember. It's been too long...

John, Infatuated with you? If that wasn't so sad it would be funny. Post (#916955) is statements and questions, most of which you did not answer. I shouldn't have bothered to ask the questions as I figured you probably wouldn't answer. You never have and most likely you will continue to make...

John, When will you ever quit disseminating false information? I had one of these early shreadmores and my mother had one from the early '80. They were installed properly. I've known other people that have had them too. Same problems. Those self-leveling legs didn't work. They had to be...

How many more things do we have to give up until everything is gone? There's a good job for Donald, but I doubt he really cares. Don't know.

Hi Judy, I certainly don't want to discourage you on your 806 purchase, but if you do decide to go vintage I hope you or someone you know is machanically inclined and is inventive. Any machine that is 40 - 60 years old can't be expected to give good service w/o a pretty intensive restoration...

Are you doing this with the back off, turning the drum and listening for sounds?

Hi Duke, So that copper ring was dirty and giving you trouble?

I know it's late and you're probably not up anymore but a warning on those plastic brush holders that are screwed to that drum with that bolt. It's usually best to leave them there. They have a tendency to break. Just take a little screwdriver, loosen the screw on top of the copper plate with...

That's exactly right, Duke. And if you get the adjustable cool down stat you can change the cool down time to your benefit. I don't know why Maytag did it that way. Maybe something to do with the brush, the charging and discharging cap? It would be better to ring when it's done.   Mark did...

Duke, I don't know if anyone told you or not, but I found that replacing the the cool down thermostat (pt. # 3-3037 or pt # off my dryer is 3-03037-2. A red wire with a black stripe went to one pole and a yellow wire with a green stripe went to the other. I replaced it with a Supco AT021...

I see the top of a Hoover Convertible at the end of the Maytag washer's console and sticking up in front of the TV. It looks like a model 66 which would put it somewhere between '58 and '61. Does that sound right? Oh,duh. Bud said '61.

I guess they think it's a "set". The word "set" is used 10 times.
