Is that Helical ?

Oh heck yes! Most loaded helical washer Maytag ever designed.
 
The transmission changed at series 10 in the

Some very subtle changes occurred, but 99% of the design is the same. It's still a non-orbital design.
 
Series 10 is when they switched to the orbital.

The orbital trans debuted in 1989 with the LAT series. I have 712 which still has the Helical trans.
 
The 810 was a great washer, except for the 1.5 minute rinse. EXTREMELY flexible washer that can handle anything!

Helical = drive system
Orbital = short stroke transmission type that uses the Helical drive
Pitman = long stroke transmission type that uses the Helical drive
 
series 10?

When i say series "10" I was refering to a certain series of the "12" line. There was a tread that had the specs on the change. Unfortunatlly i cant find it:( The orbital was introduced in 87' at series "10" in the "12" line. IE the 712. None of the "10" line models were produced with orbital, if a 810, 710, 410....etc has an orbital, it was retro-fit
 
The pair is still for sale. They need to be out by Tuesday. It's posted on craiglist again today. Scott, I vaguely remember the thread you are talking about. It's probably safe to say this is the older, helical drive tranny with the turquoise agitator.
