Speaking of these much wanted agitators. The Amish get them in on occasion and then just throw them away because they don't like them. I have my name in for any that may come in again. I was also told that the auto agitators will not fit on the wringer Maytag's. I have watched them change a...

Thanks to Crevistool as he is the member who told me how to clean Bakelite. I will apologize to him here in public for not having gotten back with him since my go at it was a success. Thanks Rick !! It worked for Larry also. Happy Maytaging to all and to all a great Holiday Season. Jim

Well, once again you have done magic Larry !! It looks like my red one when I got done with it. Glad you now have the original "agibitator" in your beauty. You would certainly not know they were the same unit. Nice job ! Jim

You are right Larry, the new after market turquoise agitators do not have any "vent" holes. My black Bakelite one has 3, my red Bakelite one has 2, my turquoise one has 1 and my aluminum one has only 1 at the very top near the water level mark and is a bigger hole. I have no idea what they...

Here is the after pic. I switched it to the N and use it there. When I took this pic it had some wax on it that I did not get wiped off. It didn't show with the naked eye. Anyhow it turned out very smooth and shiny. Jim

Hello, I had a red Bakelite agitator like yours and it cleaned up nicely. I used white rubbing compound first and then auto wax. It was a HORRIBLE job to do and took forever but the results were beautiful. After I did all the work I received the attached instructions from a friend who...

Hmmmmmmmmm, I bought up a lot of the "old" Tide original when they stopped making it. I have enough for a couple of years LOL. I use a Maytag wringer washer to both wash and rinse in. I rinse twice. First rinse has nothing but water and the second has the old fashioned pink liquid softener...

What a beauty she is !! You have done a marvelous job restoring her. Now I can't wait to see your further work on the others. Great going !! Jim

I have never seen these before. Thanks for posting the pics. I am happy to see the rubber is still in good shape and still turn. I prefer my lever lock rather than the thumb screw but in general like the older castors better. You have a beauty in your whole machine Brad. Congrats and...

Brad, This is indeed interesting. Do all castors have the date on them and are any of them locking? I was able to get NOS castors for my gals luckily at the Amish. They have no date on them but the ones on the E and J look very similar to yours. I was very lucky to have gotten them. They...

Geeze, I am totally confused about what I thought I knew now LOL. This pic I gathered I don't know where from. It shows how wrong I was about the colors and logo. I don't have a way to scan the ad unfortunately and have no idea what year it was :-(. I took it outside and do believe it is...

I stand corrected on the wringer and skirt colors I guess. I just went to see my color ad of the NX and it has the turquoise trim and new logo. The wringer and skirt appear to be white rather than gray and the logo is definitely on the skirt? I wonder why the difference in my ad and the...

The Amish still use generators or air motors on their washers. I have been told that they no longer use gas for what reason I don't know. They either have generators to use for accepted electrical appliances or they have air compressors outside with holding tanks. There are so many different...

I have never seen a Maytag wringer with a timer. I have an advertisement for one tho. I did know that Geoff has one but don't remember how I found this out LOL. I have seen both an E2M and a J2M at the Amish. They are keeping them for their collection and have not been restored. They were...

The NX was indeed different from the N. It had two black rolls in the wringer instead of 1 white and 1 black. A pump was not offered but maybe dealers installed one for some folks. I would think tho, that if a pump was installed, it would cost about the same as an N2LP. They were offered...

My Amish friends who own their own business sell all kinds of things that the Amish use. They don't triple their prices to the Amish or English. They have about 150 Maytag Wringer units awaiting restoration for anyone Amish or English. They also buy from anyone interested in selling a unit to...

Hello, You have a model J. If it has a pump on it it is a J2LP if no pump it is a J2L. The serial number and the letter following it will give you the date of manufacture. I am not certain what you are asking about the plug so won't comment. Someone in the club will help you out...

To me the only reason I know of them not wanting pumps or lint filters is because it is NEW and not old style. Most of them have wash rooms and I presume that they have floor drains. Maybe they use buckets which would make it much more work. As for the motors, they sell them w/o motors...

Someone told me that Speed Queen parts are hard to find so I am happy you found this. Are you sure you want to get rid of this beauty? If I had room I would love to have a Speed Queen wringer since most of my family had them when I was small. I think this model may have been the top of the...
