Thanks for the kind words. Can't say I'm in need of I do appreciate the offer though Dan. I just wanted to get the old Maytag running again for doing my shop towels. I gave the old Maytag a new name....."RAGTAG". As far as the painting goes, I have shelves of automotive restoration paints...

Yep............that was me............. However, I didn't buy it. (check the attached link for the tool). In my case,for a one time deal, I found another way to spin the brake assembly out. And my method worked quite well upon reassembly. I'm providing a pic of what I did. Please don't beat me...

And Finally Done Here she is. I didn't want to paint the cabinet. Standard spray bomb paint I felt would scratch and chip much easier than the factory finish. The factory finish wasn't too bad. Alot of scratches and the sides were showing some early stages of pitting. I just used some rubbing...

Paint Now for the gold

Moving along with paint Step one..............the white

Masked off and ready for a facelift Found some paint on the shelf that would do the trick.

Success with the old reliable A606 My Maytag is back on line again. I couldn't have done it without all the help and advise I received from everyone here . Started out to be a repair and turned into a soft restoration. As a way of showing my appreciation I've documented the whole process. When...

Oh Yea.........I remember exactly what it looks like........ cleaned all the tranny stuff at my friends machine shop in his parts washer. I set the bearing aside because it still felt good and moved smoothly. I was going to reuse it. I didn't want to wash out the lube/grease because there is no...

Jackpot! I knew something was missing but wasn't sure. It's been awhile since I broke this all down. I know exactly where that bearing is. On the bench at the machine shop where I cleaned the transmission components and housing. It's probably gone by now. OK. Once again thanks for the help guys...

Dan, would running the drive pulley up until it contacted the bottom of the brake assembly be acceptable? That's where mine goes to and stops. In my case the drive pulley isn't stopped by running out of threads on the drive shaft.

I'm moving ahead with my A606 repair. I'm at the assembly stage and I'm pulling a brain fart. I'm reassembling the drive pulley and stop/drive lug. As I spin the drive pulley on to the drive shaft it spins right up until it bottoms against the brake housing. That can't be right??? I'm not quite...

Hey thanks Dan You and the others have been a tremendous help. I did manage to remove the brake housing with some gentle help from a brass drift and some rubber gloves to get a good grip. From there I just muscled it off. I will do the pads. I have a few more parts to locate. If you wouldn't...

Well fellas, I've managed to break down my A606 to the point of finding my agitation whoa's. The 4-groove pin that retains the agitation pinion gear broke (only half of it) and got itself wedged between the housing and the intermediate gear. I've been able to find almost all the parts to back me...

That is one great thread redcarpetdan I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the help. I'll be tracking down my parts soon. One question I have for qsd-dan however. Can a picture and part #s be posted of the fiber pinion and o-ring that qsd-dan speaks of. Are they still available? Dan...

Found some parts but questions on $$$$ I've tracked some parts locally and took a peek at ebay but what a price spread!! I checked out the Tub Bearing Repair Kit 204013 and the Mounting Stem & Tub Seal 22204012. Ebay vendor prices are the lowest at roughly $75 for both kits. Local pricing and a...

Just to be clear about rebuild.............. I figure to get to the root of my washer's binding problem, I'm going to have to break it down. When I see where the problem is, then I can get after it. For the time being, I'll track down a spanner wrench to at least give me some access to the...

Sounds like a plan qsd-dan I'll break into it as soon as I get a spanner wrench. See if I can locate one maybe a little cheaper than the $30 one referenced in the link. Thanks for all the help. I'll keep youall posted.

Great link qsd-dan. Just what I was looking for......... Now, I could do some research, but I'll take a shortcut with the help of this forun. As I break down the tub retainer nut and seal assembly to get to the transmission, will/are these seals still readily available? Being a mechanical...

Good news. Agitator off. Next hurdle. Used the towels/boiling water around the agitator. Let sit for about 5 mins. then got a little more aggressive with the slide hammer. Took some aggresive work with the slide hammer but she gave it up. Next hurdle. Found alot of corrosion and old detergent...

To answer some questions.................................. on the AGITAMER. Sounds good. Finding one to borrow though might be difficult. I have ideas of an inner tube appropriately sized diameter wise and air instead of water. Of coarse not to exceed the rated pressure for the tube while in...
