Nice washer. I like the soft blue and stainless steel together.
I just took my wringer to the dump yesterday.I don't think it wanted to go. It sat in the front seat overnight and leaked oil all over the seat.
And yes, you can fit a round wringer washer in the front seat of a Lumina if you recline the seat back flat.
When I pulled up at the dumping station the guy couldn't believe I got it in there.
Anybody know how to get oil off of material?

Hey Lyle, you have a very nice E2LS there! Looks pristine. Also love that you have the conventional lint filter agitator for it with the fill line right along the top filter inlet hole. Too cool.
Let us know what the serial number is that is stamped on the back side of the crown so we can tell what month and year it was made.
Thanks for posting!

agitator
would your agitator fit a 1962 maytag e2lp?

Looks to have been built in November of 1971. Do you have the safety pedal disabled?
Wow, I thought Maytag canned that agitator in 1965 with the introduction of the powerfin for 66. She certainly is a beaut. Makes me want to find one now...........*searches craigslist*

Wow, Lyle ... that agitator is really nice in there!!
Do you like that agitator over the regular one? That particular version of the lint filter is quite effective in Maytag's classic automatics. The stainless steel does a really fine job in removing lint; much nicer than the poly ones that were made in the mid 1960's. I'm sure expense was a factor in switching to poly.
Those machines really churn up the suds with Tide, don't they? I love it and I feel like everything gets so clean! Not that you need the suds to get things clean, but it sure is a lot more fun that way, isn't it?
Did you bypass your safety pedal? I sure have on mine; it is much easier that way. However, the safety pedal is great for wringing large items.
You gotta love the Maytag Conventional; Maytag sure knew what they were doing when they created those machines!!

Hey Geoff
WOW!! What a beauty you have there!
The agitator that I have was an option in the machine when my parents bought it. I confirmed that with my mother. I love it because of the lint filter. It does do a great job in taking lint out.
One thing that I notice with the Tide is that there is always a residue under the agitator when I drain the water out. Its like some of it doesn't disovle.
I have been trying to find a new goose neck for the end of the drain hose. The orginial one coroded and I took it off.
I love the bright new shiny tub you have. Seems like bleach and detergents always spot them and I have tried many different types of "polishes" to get it shiny again but to no avail.
I would love to see pics of the other new machine you have. Do you use any of them?
I have been trying to find either a Kenmore Lady Vista or a Whirpool with the Surgilator agitator and the big open wringer.

I honestly don't think I would know how to run one of these things. Once the soapy water agaitation is done, then what do you do with the clothes? Do you wring them over the laundry tub or the machine? And what about rinsing? Back in the machine with fresh water and then re-wring them?
When I was a kid my mom had a wringer washer before she got her Maytag automatic. This is the procedure she used. She had twin laundry tubs both filled filled with clean water. The washer was positioned in front of the left tub. She would put the washed clothes through the wringer and into the left laundry tub. Then she would swing the wringer 90 degrees clockwise and put the clothes in the left laundry tub through the wringer and into the laundry tub on the right. Then she moved the wringer 90 degrees clockwise again. Now the clothes in the right laundry tub were put through the wringer and into the laundry basket. While doing this the next load of clothes was being washed.

Wringing.
The water flows out of the wringer from the side the clothes are put in to. This way, the wrung out water flows back into the tub from which it came.
They thought of everything,

When I help my mom do laundry she had a wringer washer before she got her Maytag automatic. This is the procedure she used. She had twin laundry tubs both filled with clean water. The washer was positioned in front of the left tub. She would put the washed clothes through the wringer and into the left laundry tub. Put next load into wash, Then she would swing the wringer 90 degrees clockwise over the center of the 2-tubs and put the clothes in the left laundry tub through the wringer and into the laundry tub on the right. Then she moved the wringer 90 degrees clockwise. Now the clothes in the right laundry tub were put through the wringer and into the laundry basket. And then separeate and hang on the line to dry

Lyle ... I use all of the Maytag's I have. It's hard to maintain the tub on the Model E. You're right, bleach and other additives can darken the aluminum. I've found that when I wash with my Model E, I just use plain Tide and I have mechanically softened water; that seems to keep it looking new. I also wipe it out thoroughly when I'm done.
Tide does leave a little residue in the "sediment zone" underneath the agitator. I just make sure I flush it really well after using it.
Since your gooseneck was corroded, do you attach a small length of hose to the end to pump out the water?
Here are some photos of some of my machines. I hope you all enjoy!
Here's my 1983 Model N2LPS set-up to use both rinse tubs.

Here's a 1965 Model J that I acquired this summer; I love to use it, even though it is a gravity-drain (non-pump) model. It was still in use when I got it.

I have one of each of the turquoise-accent versions and all but one of the red-accent versions (still need the E from the late 1950's/early 1960's).
Here's a "group shot" of my turqoise-accent ones.
I also have a Model A from 1930; it still runs great.

RCD ... Many! Crazy Cat Lady, indeed!!
The ones that I have are "jewels" in my eyes. Out of the 6 that I have, 3 of them were brand new; never used.
The little 1983 Model N2LPS was still on the dealer's showroom after 25 years and they finally posted it to the Internet to get rid of it.
The 1982 Model E2LPS was purchased by a little old lady who had heard that in 1983 Maytag was going to stop making them. Her old Maytag Model E outlived her; that one was kept in storage for over 25 years when I got it.
The 1963 Model N2LP was bought for a woman whose husband built her a new house in the early 1960's and her old Maytag just "wouldn't quit" so she never used it. The Maytag was put in the basement and kept covered up for over 40 years.
I guess I've been lucky on these!!

Geoff, is there any order you use those machines in?
The first picture with the washer pulled up to the tubs with the laundry basket beside it, took me back 30 years.
Growing up as a child, the street I lived on had all elderly ladies that brought their wringers from the farm.
Seems like every basement had that set up.
Never could get enuff of watching those ladies and their machines on Monday mornings. Every lady seemed to have her own style when it came to using those machines.

Beautiful machines, guys! I love the filter-agitator in the wringer. I saw a wringer with one at an estate sale a while back but they wanted $150 - too much for an agitator even if did come with a free washer.
I use my 'Tag rarely, no pump so it makes it a bit tedious emptying it with a bucket. I don't have double tubs so I cheat and use an automatic for rinsing and spinning so I guess I'm not really getting the most from my conventional washing experience ;-) When we were out at Fred's in Chicago last June, we used his 'Tag for towels and linens - rinsing in the double tubs. After we finished all the washing & rinsing, we put the washing in his Neptune to spin to satisfy our curiosity. You can imagine how that turned out...
