So you found a Maytag E2L !!

HHHHAAAAYYYYYYY, That looks like my machine, except with a better paint job and a black agitator. My machine has a blueish/green agitator with a gravity drain and no filter grate. I'm very glad that you found one. I saw one of these at a furniture store for sale. I will ask them if they still have it the next time I drive past there.

Coating the agitator shaft with petroleum jelly helps with taking the agitator on and off for cleaning out the tub. It also protects it from rusting, do it once a month, but it also depends on how much you plan on using it.

Hi Drew, This is one beautiful wringer washer. There are some others with some of the club owners that are in great shape as well. I remember a few different friends families that still used wringer washers when I was growing up. They are a efficient way of doing laundry. I hope you enjoy working with it. What a treat! See you,,,Dan-Bendix5

Andrew, Andrew, Andrew ... JUST FLIPPIN' BEAUTIFUL!! Ohmystars ... I can't believe how good of condition this machine is!! So "whisper quiet"; just the gentle hum of the motor and the sloshing of the water.

Someone mentioned Vaseline on the agitator shaft; you really should do that. That will aid in the removal of the agitator, would should be done after every wash day.

I am in amazement that you found this WONDERFUL 52 year old machine is such pristine condition.

Would you just look at the crown of that tub? Ben is right; they should all look like that!!

Welcome to the Maytag Conventional Washing Machine Club! You will enjoy it for years.

Oh ... I use only REGULAR Tide powder in mine (no bleach, no "oxygenated" products ... that will stain the tub); and/or grated Fels/Naptha soap. Make sure you wipe up the water spills on that crown and never leave water sitting in the tub. Always make sure you lower the drain hose when done and rinse out the tub with warm water and dry it well before putting it away.

The agitator should stay off until your next wash day!

But, most of all, ENJOY!
