Hey Y'all

[frapdoodle]

Hey everyone! I hope all is well. I havent posted anything on this forum in quite a while. But I have stayed current and whatnot.

I have a Maytag Wringer washing machine that I aquired quite a while ago from RevvinKevin. (Sorry if I spelled it wrong, Kevin). It worked very well as MY dailey driver. My mother and sister use a Kenmore Front Loader. The One made by Electrolux. But my wringer would wash three fairly full loads every Saturday! Alas!! Maytag's reliability still lives on!

But, about a month ago, the agitator got a large crack down the side. I decided to remove the agitator and just try to replace it.

The plate on the back says:
The Maytag Gyratator Washer
Model:_2L
Serial No. 76114VR

Now the first thing I noticed was it's called THE Maytag washer. No. No. It's not A Maytag washer. It's THE Maytag washer! XD Just a little Chance Humor.

Unfortunatly, the first letter/number of the Model number is scratched off. Hopin' y'all can help me figure that out.

The main things I would like to know are:
*The year is was built
*The mystery letter/number
*And if an agitator from a later, turquoise maytag wringer would fit my washer.

Anything anyone has to pitch in is greatly appriciated. I love the conversation.

Thanks everyone!!
Well reguards and best wishes

Do you have a picture of this "Mystery" wringer? Haha. There were 3 basic models. N2L, J2L, and E2L. The N2L is the round tub, the J2l is the square tub with a removable lid, and the E2L in the square tub with the HINGED lid. Essentially all Maytag wringer washer agitators are interchangeable, just so as they aren't the VERY early models. Check this link out;

Ask The Maytag Man

There is a great resouce in the group. Located in NY he sells and restores Maytag wringer washers. Oh and there is a good selection of parts on offer as well.

Hey Chance, Yours is an N2L and if I remember correctly that one you have was built in 1964.

For Sure, Chance ~ only the color is different.

 

[frapdoodle]

Oh I'm so glad to hear that it will fit!!

Kevin, thats what I recall but I was not sure. I didn't mean to offend.

But the color scheme will be all off. Red, black, and turquoise! Oh well. At least it's unique!!

Thanks everyone!!
