Hey Chris -

Thats a very nice A3MP! Amazing all of these early 'Tags popping up right now. The only difference that I can see is the A3MP used a specific water valve vs. the AMP and A2MP that, per the parts lists, used one of 3 different types. The front name plate is the same on the A2MP/A3MP. Hopefully someone else may have more info on the differences.

Nevertheless, you have an amazing machine there! I wondered why you were looking for boot seal earlier... =)

boot seal

well i wanted to find a boot for it because 2 years ago i redid a 54 tag and after i had taken it all apart and back together again i found the boot and failed. so it was a tear down twice. the boot on that one was 50 years old and just rotten. so this time when she comes apart for cleaning i can just replace the boot and not have to tear it down twice. know she will need one. i have always wanted this machine. was the first one on my list of dream machines and the last one to be found. am very lucky and very happy
 
Congratulations Chris! Another nice early Maytag. Way to go dude! (:
 
congratulations

When you told me about it, I had no idea the machine was this cool. That's great that it really only needs a little cleaning up. And of course I love the red agitator. I'm really happy for you. Have Fun! Patrick
 
Hi Chris, Congratulations on such a wonderful find. Can't wait to see her when you have it all cleaned up and detailed. Lots of good memories with that machine. My aunt in Minnesota had that one. Will always remember that red agitator and was so mad that I couldn't open the lid and see it work.LOL Keep us posted.
 
We had one of these when I was growing up. The thing I remember most about it was the ker-bang of the spin solenoid every time I tried to sneak the lid open and watch it spin. My mom would hear it too, and yell at me to stop playing with the washer.
 
max says hi

didnt realize the dog was looking out.. thats max hes part akita and a total baby. hes likes to come out in the garage while im workin and hang out with me.. this washer is an A3MP and i hope i get this right AM stood for automatic and the P stood for with pump.. thats as much as i know would have to ask the experts to fill in the rest.. she is solid as a rock but still not to heavy that i cant move it by myself.. cant wait to clean it up and play
 
Oh Chris, that is a GREAT find! It is so clean already---I know it will be beautiful when you get through with it. You already have quite the reputation-----of doing excellent restorations!

It is a great feeling to get a 'dream machine" into your collection and I know you will have fun with it! Congratulations!
