Well after 6 hours of work my A408 she is up and running, I think the reason it was leaking ( from an earlier thread) the former owner had a two piece hose on the machine, smaller than what Maytag had used. I changed it out now she runs beautifully, did three loads of laundry. The Neptune TL has taken a back seat for the present time. Also the rubber feet have been hard to find. I put self adheasive felt pads on the bottom of the feet. They work beautifully. Mike
