Kenmore Penta-Vane Agitator

[drummerboy928]

Hello everyone, I have a small and rather odd question. Recently I purchased a New in Box (old stock) Kenmore Belt Drive Pentavane agitator, and I am excited to put it to use in my belt drive 70 series. However, it came without the cap to cover the bolt on top (which I knew when purchasing). Does anybody know where I could obtain one of these small caps, or have a spare one laying around, or at least know what they look like? I’ve tried searching for one right after I bought it, and have not given up, but have not been able to find anything. Also, if I am unable to obtain a proper cap for this agitator, are there any files out there to 3D print a temporary replacement? It’s not a big deal to me, but I know that it will bug me forever to not have a cap on the agitator since it wont look “proper” without it.

I have also included a picture (of the listing) of the agitator as well. It has arrived to me already but do not have a picture of it of my own yet.

Maytag vs Whirlpool 1970's Washtubs

Hey Gordon, Check out the last Biggest Capacity thread# 21792 and tell me what you think about it. Also, look thread# 21823 it shows a 1976 Whirlpool washer and it suppose to be the largest capacity. But, take a close look at the feature list that has the cu.ft size.

As shown in the links above there are 2 caps that will fit. The flat cap and the extension cap for a fabric softener dispenser.
