I'm chuckling about the "farts", too! I have never heard one do that before. It must have had some air/water/oil bubble in the right angle drive and just sort of belched Bosco right out of there. Good grief.
There has got to be something then, that made that tooth break off. I am wondering what might have gotten beneath that wheel. Just see if anything flushes out of it when you take it out of the parts cleaner. I'm going to "try" to look at the documentation I have about that wheel so we clearly understand its purpose. I know it moves the worm feeder bar and also moves the oil back up over the top so it can keep the worm drive fully lubricated during operation.
You wanna talk about an oil mess ... my first time working on a machine, I decided it would be cool to see the transmission in action ... with the center plate off. Good gravy ... I had Bosco all over the place. What a mess to clean up.
Also, since this was a pump model before, I bet that the pump jammed up and that's why it is no longer on there. That also explains why you have the strainer plate; those only went with pump models.
Ah ha ... we're solving the pump issue!!

From what I can tell,
I'm the third owner. The woman I bought it from said she used it for her kids diapers in the early 80's but did mention that she bought it second hand. So probably 2 sets of bad owners before me. How oafish to just yank something off when it breaks instead of just fixing it correctly. Good thing they didn't do that with everything wrong with it or there'd have been nothing left for me to buy. Well, I'm off to empty and flush the trans. See what I can see. Dare I even look? . . morbid curiosity forces me!

"it must have had some air/water/oil bubble in the right angle drive"
like I said up thread "these are old ladies, they just do that" can't be helped !
waiting to see if what you find Larry, if nothing, than it had to be that loose piece of metal that hung up in there!
I'm curious to see what the new gaskets/seals are going to look like when you get them!
Also curious about the right angle drive re packing.

I got it all cleaned up
Didn't find anything else loose although I could have missed something when I was flushing it with water. I can turn it by hand and watch it go through it's cycle. Back and forth. Nothing under the worm shaft and I didn't see any chips or obvious damage to it either. I did seem a little stiff but I gave it a light coating of WD 40 because I did use hot water on it and don't want any rust. From the pictures in the Service Manual I always assumed this worm wheel drove something related to the wringer but now since Geoff said it's only function is to lubricate when in use, I can't see how one little piece of a tooth missing can screw anything up. The thing does somehow move a shaft to the rt. angle drive but the teeth have nothing to do with that. So here's a picture of the newly cleaned part. Can't think of anything else to do to it at this point. I see a few spots of gunk I can go after but after that???? Maybe I'll go have another shot at getting that right angle drive out.

BEAUTIFUL, LARRY!! You cleaned that right up! Now you can see how that transmission functions; not so scary ... solid mechanical workings. That wheel does more than oils ... it also drives the connection to the right angle drive; you'll see it when you take it out. It's pretty powerful because the right angle drive turns the pinion in the wringer post feeding up to the wringer head. "The foot bone's connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bone's connected to the leg bone ... "
Those casted parts are heavy, aren't they? They had to be for a "lifetime of dependability." Just think ... Maytag had the ability to cast all of their parts; they did their own quality control and it shows.
Also ... think about washing clothes AND wringing all at once; that power unit is the heart of the machine. It sure does a lot and should be cared for.
You were gutsy to use hot water ... I've never done that; only parts cleaner. I suppose as long as it dries well. No ... you don't want anything rusting or seizing.
Way to go; hard part's done!! Get the worst over with first.

I used water
because it was plentiful enough to really force it's way through the unit and jog any loose pieces of debris loose I used the hose in the basement sink I use to fill the washer. On those rare occasions where it's working! I just checked it again and there's no rusting. That light coating of WD-40. And I'll wipe that out best I can before I re-fill it with the 90 wt.
I did get the right angle drive AND vertical drive out. They're still oozing Bosco out in the garage. Do you actually dis-assemble them or just pack fresh grease as well as you can? I cleaned the gear that goes to the vertical drive and scraped off the old gasket. I tried pulling it out. It comes mostly out but just before it comes to the end, it stops. So do you just grease it up as good as you can or do I need to get it all the way out?
I did see there the worm wheel works the wringer shaft but I doubt anything in there was hanging up. It's funny but I never knew the power unit ran the wringer until I got this washer. When I used to use the old Speed Queen I always assumed some electric motor made the wringer go. Never would have though a series of gears and shafts from under the washer did that. It's been an education. No one can deny that!

if you can, show us a pic of the inside of that shaft (sounds kinda sexy) after the oil drains out.
Unless you do find a way to disassemble ! And of course we want to see that too LOL
Would assume that it's packed with wheel bearing grease? Or something like.

" think about washing clothes AND wringing all at once;
not to mention....Pumping. It's really fun to have all three functions going simultaneously. The low percussive rumble always reminds me of a hydroelectric damn which is kind of funny since I've never been up close and personal to one. Must be a movie memory.
Love seeing the wringer deconstructed and that oozy worm gear looks almost alive.

Larry ... let them finish oozing Bosco and then clean them with parts cleaner. No need to disassemble; you don't have any broken pinion gears. You would have to drive the gears off first and then pull the rods. But like I said, no need to do that because they aren't broken.
I wouldn't put water in these parts ... only parts cleaner. Do the best you can to clean them up. Believe it or not, the only part your going to pack with grease is the wringer post! Check the service manual for quantity and weight; it should tell you. They used "like" an axel grease but greasier (if that's possible). It was sold in 1 lb. containers. The wringer head takes a whole pound while the wringer post takes maybe a half a pound???
The right angle drive gets no packing of lubrication. It gets lubricated through usage. The pinion gear on the right angle drive lines up with the pinion gear in the wringer post.

Mickey ... how could I forget the pumping!! That's your favorite part of these machines; they sure are powerful. My 1963 pink E2LP had the pump abused; there was gunk in it when I got it and wouldn't work. I took it apart and had to replace the impeller with an extra one I had but the wheel is lop-sided a bit. If I push the handle all the way on, it has such force that the gooseneck comes right up out of the tub; unbelievable. It took a few times of water all over the floor before I figured out not to push it all the way on. I need to put a new wheel on it and then it should straighten out.
Larry probably has everything cleaned up and is now waiting for gaskets and a tub.
This has been a fun thread!!

Today I cleaned
and prepped for painting the inside of the tub (do I see where the pump "on off" lever went?) It took a bit of elbow grease to remove all that transmission grease. Tomorrow night I paint the inside of the tub.

And here's
the right angle drive. All cleaned and sanded and ready for priming.There was quite a bit of "Bosco residue" to flush out but it's all out now. There's not much to it. A housing and 1 shaft that connects the power unit to the wringer shaft. After I paint this and the inside of the tub,the vertical shaft is next. Phil says he doesn't sell the grease used to pack it out but said to just get synthetic grease at the Auto Parts store. Simple enough!

Larry ... BEAUTIFUL! You DO see where the pump handle went; HOORAY!! Pump mystery solved. I can't believe they wouldn't have fixed that?? Just yanked it off and put on a regular hose; go figure. You'll like having a pump; they are nice and Maytag always said it would empty the tub in 2 minutes or less; it's true.
Are you going to use gloss or flat? I don't think Maytag lacquered the interior.
Superb detailing job. This is great to watch someone else get into this. Great!!

Rustoleum (or something like it) on that right angle drive; you'll like the results.
Let us know what kind of grease you get for packing that wringer post.

Dose Phil mean the wheel bearing grease? And did he say how much to put in?
The weep hole looks bigger than I expected. Have never really got a good look at mine (just felt it)
Larry what dose that right angle drive look like from the other end, looking inside?
(the end that bolts to the P.U)
We talked about the letters on the front, now that the tub is out how did Maytag fasten them (speed nut ?) Or do they just fit in tight (small hole) push in pull out?
Don't you boys think that when Larryss done, that his pics need to go into "restorations"
Have email Robert to ask how one qualifies, but haven't heard back yet.

I actually looked on-line
for "synthetic" grease and most of what I read had it as "superior" to the old petroleum based grease. I saw a 3 lb. container of "Tri-Flow Synthetic grease at Amazon for $11.95 so I went ahead and ordered one.
I have some left over Rust-Oleum oil based paint I used on the skirt, Stan't formulation, that I'll use on the inside. The original does look more flat but, it's the INSIDE after all so might as well use it instead of buying more white paint. For the horizontal shaft I'll use some of the Rust-Oleum White Epoxy Appliance spray paint I have leftover as well. Also on the PU before I put it back in. I used it on the wringer and it works fine. Plus again, this is under the unit so it won't matter to anyone but me. I've seen some units for sale, mostly on EBay and the washers look new. Until they show a picture from the bottom! Then it's like "Wah happened" here?
Then you're right, I'll be waiting on my ordered stuff before I can do much else. I know my stuff from Phil shipped already but I haven't heard back from Dave on the tub yet. Last Friday he said he'd be looking for a box to ship it in and let me know the shipping cost ASAP, but I haven't heard anything back so that makes me a little nervous. I don't want to come across as a pest but I'm thinking if I don't hear anything by tomorrow I'll send a friendly email and try to see what up with that. Then of course, more painting and priming tomorrow after work. More pictures too!

Stan,
I'll send a picture tomorrow but the side that bolts to the P.U. is just the other end of the shaft I have pulled out. It doesn't have a gear but like a peg that goes through it that connects to and is turned by the worm wheel of the transmission.
The M A Y T A G letters appear to be rivets. They either are pushed through small holes and flattened to hold them in place or are just very tightly forced into place. No nuts holding them in place. I'm not going to mess with those. No need to really.

My only concern now is I've had no response from Dave about the replacement tub. Last Friday he said all he needed was a box and then he'd let me know the shipping costs ASAP. That was last Friday. I sent an email today but got no reply. Without a new tub I'm hosed. I may need you to ask your Amish friends if they have a salvage E2L that still has a usable tub as a back up plan. One thing this project has taught me, and that's ALWAYS have a back up plan!
Stan, here's a view of the drive from the side that bolts to the P.U. You can see how the connect and the P.U. drives the shaft. Simple huh?

You don't put any grease in this one.
There's a gasket that I have for this connection. I have all the gaskets I'll need as of today. I read that you do add 3 oz. of the 90 wt. oil at the bottom of the vertical shaft where this gear meets the bottom of the wringer gear. I guess that keeps everything in the horizontal shaft lubricated. The I read that you pack the wringer post with 1/2 lb. of grease. That's tricky because that would be from scratch. Brand new or totally empty so not sure what I should put in that one. If anything? Dan said 12 oz. of the 90 wt. in the transmission.
So I got my stuff from Phil today. Including the pump but I don't know how I'll use it. When you order a pump, you get a PUMP. But none of the hardware to connect it, the on off lever, and the pump hinge bracket. I've been looking on line and Ebay but can't find any and they're not included on Phil's part list so right now I have a $45 pump that is absolutely useless. At least I have the correct fly wheel for it because I wouldn't know where to get one of those either. Maybe I'll ask Dave if any salvage machines have the pump linkage. But he's gone missing right now too.

Larry,
I have been meaning to write this but keep forgetting. When the Amish restore an E with the letters across the front they no longer remove them because of damage it causes to the skirt and letters. He just paints them and then takes a razor blade and removes the paint from the top side of the letters. The sides are white naturally but it really doesn't show if you don't know what you are looking for. He used to try to remove them but ruined to many and those skirts are not as plentiful as the logo/label ones are. Just a thought !

So it's the lighter spun Aluminum used in the later models. Like you said earlier, when I got it out it's not heavy, just large. If I'm not mistaken, the heavy cast tubs were the ones used earlier models like on Brad's Model 30. Thanks for checking for me. It'll be 6 days tomorrow since I've heard anything and that's making me nervous.

I painted around the letters
A trick I learned. I cover the letters with Vaseline. Then carefully paint around them. Then if I get any paint on the letters it wipes off with the Vaseline. Works Great!

Sure!
Always happy to share a tip. If they spray, they can completely spray over the lettering after the Vaseline coating. Then just wipe off the lettering when the paint is dry. Easy as pie! I heard back from Dave and it looks like the tub with him is still a go. I'd be curious to see if the Amish could supply a replacement anyway. I won't be completely at ease until it's delivered, undamaged! Dave is also going to supply me with the rest of the hardware to complete the pump installation. Have other people used him? I've had very good luck with him being to supply vintage parts for my E2L soon to add the P.
