Don - Maytag Winger

Don,Congratuations on your Magtag find. My parents had the exact machine for about 10 years when my mother finally purchased an automatic washer in 1978. We sold the old machine to a neighbor who own a farm and farmhouse where he had many Mexican seasonly workers. The last I heard, this machine is still working. My Grandmother had a square machine Model J2 for as long as I can remember. Also, did Maytag ever had a double square tub with winger? We had a neighbor who had one and she would use one for washing and the other tub for rinsing. Do you have a owner's manual to go with you machine (Model N2)? If you don't I have my mother's manual that is in fair condition. Since I don't have the machine any more, I would be happy to mail this to you. I think my late mother would be happy to see that this booklet would be to good use.
Just let me know if you would like. Again good pictures!!

Don,

That has to be one of *THE* cleanest wringers I've seen. Congrats on your find!

OoOoh!

Nice!! Congratulations, Don!!

Okay, so I know this is probably a question of the uninitiated, but is that lint-filter agitator the same as what pops into a Highlander, or are the splines different?

I saw the last pic with the skinny agitator, and then, hello! Lint-filter agitator.

Very nice!! :-D

Filtertater

I love to watch the water splash over the top of the lint filter. I spent hours watching the old Maytags and knew I wanted one. The splines are place lower in the agitator column. If you pull one out of an Automatic the splines just barely engage and the agitator kind of rocks on the top of the drive post. Before this organization I had no idea a filter agitator was ever available for wringer washers.

The skinny on the agitator......

Geoff Delp brought me that agitator for the E2LP I have that we redid last summer. He told me that was an upgrade agitator for the wringer washer, not an automatic. Rich it is a very clean washer, and soooooo quiet to run. I couldn't let it go, it would have been crushed I am sure as I was at the sale at the very end! Spiceman, I believe that this machine uses the same manual as the E2LP, which I so have but thank you so much. Anybody that knows me knows I like to have the manuals!
