Finally, my dream set!

 

The Maytag's were in the basement of an old Victorian house in Red Lion, PA. The house had been closed up for decades and was dilapidated. The guy who had just bought it believes the machines had not been touched since the house was closed up. After a complete going through, these will ultimately become my daily drivers.

Current update on A806:

 

 

I need to buy a heavy mallet to use with the tub wrench. It won't budge. I hope to get back to it next month.

 

I would also love to obtain a detailed repair manual for these Maytags. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Ultramatic/Louis...

I see you've started working your magic here on the A806. And it looks like you're coming along nicely too. That washer is looking GRRRRRRRREAT!
(As Tony the tiger would say)
)

I so wish we were doing the rebuild at my house....

I have seen plenty of postings and vids of doing a bearing/seal on one of these.....but never in person!

for the year, might not be a bad idea to install a new pump as well....

that backwards thread can throw you for a minute....you have to keep reminding yourself which way to turn it....

keep us posted

 

[Ultramatic]

Thanks Christina!

 

 

Won't be too long before it does it's maiden wash!

 

[Ultramatic]

Maytag rebuild.

 

 

Hey Martin! You and me BOTH! It isn't easy doing these projects in an apartment, but we have to play the cards we are dealt. The worse is yet to come, the removal and opening up of the tranny. And I just put in new floors!

 

 

[Ultramatic]

Back to the grind.

 

 

It's been languishing long enough.
