Brought these stragglers home

Here

is the transmission out. I plan on using that other transmission that came out of the 57 vistimatic I parted out years ago. I think it worked at the time. The original one doesn't seem to be working and it leaks (water contaminated) oil like crazy when the machine is on it's side. I might rebuild it for fun in the future.

Anyway and advice would be most appreciated. Should I try to polish up that agitator shaft on the new one? I am assuming I need new bearings and seals but I don't have the tools to do it so I will have to figure something out.

I will have to take the break assemble etc off the old one though I should have kept the vistimatic one around here somewhere.

I’d try to clean the agitator shaft as much as possible. I greased the agitator shaft on the used transmission I installed in my ‘63 Whirlpool and even added oil to the bearings to help extend their life more. Even topped off the transmission with motor oil yes it’s not the correct oil but the tolerances in these transmissions aren’t as tight as they are in a engine.
