Patent date on castors...
Hi Jim ... yes, all four castors have the same date impressed on them. One of them is a locking castor - unlike the later ones for the E, N, and J models that have a sort of toggle mechanism, the old ones simply have a thumb-screw that tightens a metal plate onto the wheel.

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 enjoy !!

Your machine has an identical twin sister . . .
Hi Brad ... I am brand new to the site and it was your pictures of your Maytag that caught my eye and led me here. I have to agree with everyone above . . Outstanding restoration work! All that said, I wanted to let you know that I have the identical twin of your machine . . . albeit not in the same condition. I no longer have the workspace to carry on tinkering with these bigger projects. In short, if you're interested in the project . . . she's yours. No sale, no trade, no conditions, just a new home.
