Great Job Guys! It should run for another 50 years without a hitch! So Give yourselves pat on the backs for doing a A-1 job.

Nice work guys! Thats a sweeet machine.
Oh - what a shiny tub you have!
Great pics - it looks like you guys had a good time doing it.
Maytag made a special "guard" that wrapped around the helix for the re-install of the shaft to protect the new o-ring seal. IIRC it was invented by one of the repair guys in the field and Maytag mentioned it in their monthly "Let's Talk Service" bulletins. Perhaps you've seen it Ben? I can't recall what it was made of though...

I'M REALLY AMAZED
At the way you guys take things apart and rebuild them. These old machines will outlast the junk that's being made today. Great job, and a beautiful machine you have. I hope you will post a video of her in action.

Hey Geoff, having done that job, are you going over to the 'dark side' and take up automatics or will you stay faithfull to your wringers? LOL...

Andrew you crack me up - Tales of the Newton Crypt! You certainly are right though; having 6 hands to get everything put back together was very helpful. I imagine that without a very solid base to hold the case, it would be difficult to get everything thrown back together without some fluid spilling everywhere.
Greg - yep, tool PN 38555, the little yellow guy to thread into the agitate shaft. I've tried EVERYWHERE and no one seems to have it anymore. I should have started collecting these things 10 years ago, not 5 ;-)
Thanks guys - this certainly was a fun rebuild.

I get by with a little help from my friends....
What a great weekend! Ben has been here often enough that he is not even considered company any longer. While talking to Greg Nunn last week I realized I hadn't even made up Ben's bed. One more visit and I will show Ben where the sheets are and he can make it himself-and I mean that with love and respect as he has moved past the "company" rating. And than there is Geoff Delp. Words cannot describe how I feel about this man, but "quality" is at the top of the list. As friends go, he is everything Maytag once was, dependable and made to last! This Maytag started its makeover in Omaha with Greg Nunn a couple of years ago. Since than it changed its color to pink and now has a rebuilt transmission. I learned so much and really enjoyed the process! Ben did a great job detailing the Maytag journey as well as prompting me to join Kirstie at Jenny Craig, Yikes! Oh well, if you recall, I was the one to get that "O" ring out,,,,so there is strength in numbers, even if the numbers are tipping the scale!
Thank You all for your kind wishes and support!

Hey Guys
Don,
Congrats on a successful transmission rebuild of your beautiful machine. So sorry I missed you in Ohio last month.
Ben,
In addition to finding a NOS tub seal for your 1-18, I'll see if I can find you one of these installation pieces mentioned above. I bought a few last year from a dealer.

Great job, Ben and Don! I love the birdbath base holder for the tranny. Necessity is the mother of invention!
