$20.00 belt drive

Molded in plastic ring in { one piece agitators ]

This ring is a bearing designed to rub against the outside of the porcelain basket tube, it reduces the strain on the agitator drive spline by absorbing some of the side force. GE FF washers have a removable lower agitator bearing that covers the three tub mounting bolts that does the same thing [ as do several other brands ].

 

I still thing it would be correct to call the little grabby things that are in all WP built DA agitators dogs or if you like cams, including the red plastic ones that you pictured earlier.

I would say that KM is indeed a direct drive. Not only that but I'm betting that its one of the first, making it a direct into spin or spin drain model. It looks like there is a clear plastic 'cover' on the timer dial to prevent turning the dial while its running. I think that was only done on the 'D-2000' models?

Gordon, Thank you, for remembering, our Mom's did indeed have the same 1974,  Same layout as the later "black panel" machines, the 74's had brushed chrome.  Always a pleasure to see your posts.  alr
