Wow Jon, congrats Chester is absolutely gorgeous!
I didn't realize there was foam in the redesigned tub, I wonder how long the foam stayed wet and could it mold?

I wounder How Long It Stayed Wet and Could It Mold ?
Mold in washing machines had not been invented yet, this took cold water washing and the advent of Eco-detergent-bleach-free washing, LOL.
Hi Robert and Fred, I should be in Mn sometime soon after X-mas, hopefully we can get together, John.

Jon, awesome to see a ~60 year old machine looking so great. Was this machine restored prior to your getting it? I'll be watching your Youtube feed for the video!

Under the Kilt
shot, in very good shape, the clutch is a little dry and will get some oil - 4 tablespoons to be exact.

I have found
"Descrepancy in Doctrine "! Nowhere in the service manuals for the AMP/101/102 do I find mention of the need to add 4 Tbl of oil to the clutch . But in the parts manual it is revealed!
Heed the Parts Manual - Maytagginators!!

Oil In Clutch
Jon it depends on whether you have an orignal DRY clutch or the later IMPROVED oil filled clutch. I can not tell you which one your MT came with originally or has now without your posting a picture of it, but I am sure Ben or Mark will know.

Interesting John
as the photo above is from the 102P parts book , I'd guess I have an oil clutch just like the Kelvinator vaseline clutch.
Chester passed his water test today with flying colors so now just relube the motor and he's ready to go back into service.

That is interesting I was under the impression that the oil clutch was earlier and the dry clutch came out later. But that makes sense now.

Congratulations on the water test! Can't wait to see Chester in a Saturday WashCam feature!
I finally found a photo of the foam strips. This is the tub assembly from a really beat up 102P that I parted out years and years ago.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
And Ben
do I see a slight bulge at the bottom where the sediment collects? So I'm guessing since the foam covers the top of the hole sections that forces ALL the water in the tub to shoot up the open sections making a sediment jet on spin.
Maytagganation Rocks! I can't wait to get Chester into service!
Neat shot THANKS BEN!!

Ahhhh
Finally I can work out how the perforated tub with solid liner sits within the outer tub...Congratulations on the latest addition, looks in fine fettle.
Look forward to seeing the in wash video complete with coffee & cake!!

Here is the Doctrine on the tub: It is not in Doctrine per say but is in the Supplementation Text:

Redesigned inner tub in MT AMP style Washers
This probably would have helped somewhat with the serious sediment redepositing they had with their early washers. I have always felt that MT really tried to make their appliances perform better, last longer and made them easier to service the longer they built them.
Their biggest problem was when they initially brought out a new appliance design it was usually much less well throughout and tested than appliances from Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire and even Westinghouse. Serious design, perform ace and durability flaws existed in their Helical drive washers and the SOH dryers that went unfixed for decades, but they did eventually fix them, Yay.

Oh wow, that is very cool Jon! That would be pre "Let's Talk Service", which started in April of 1955. Finding anything prior to that is quite difficult. Thanks for sharing!
