Ebay and parts Hello stan

In reading and rereading Moving a E2l thread I fell we've already met. That thread should be put in a book. HUM idea brewing here.
Yes I've shopped the bay. And checked out the parts he has and there's a plate there. Along with the other parts required all except the P/U. I'm sure I'll be in contact with him at some point.
And If E2l-arry is generous enough to part with his P/U it is possible to make one out of 2.
I still think theres a possibility the shaft houseing can be saved. But I need a pic of the inside of the housing,
Hubs says I have alot of faith in J/B weld. We'll see. Wont be out anything if it doesn't work just time, and I got more of that than $$$$$
Do you know if the worm gear is difficult to get out?
Off to more gasket removal. Slow going makes me feel like I'm 20 again. I'll pretend it's my super bee
getting her new carbs. Scrape clean and polish.

No more holes

The case has no more holes. Curing time in progress. then I'll remove the liner and continue to rebuild the outter and inner parts. kinda looks like crap up close. it isn't as thick as the photo portrays.

Hi Sheryl

I have a service manual for this machine on PDF.. Larry has one too.
The manual gives instructions for removal of worm gear, with some photos ect.
Do you have a service manual? If not, you need one to do what your attempting!
I can try to email you one, or Larry can.
 
Thank you Stan

That would be super if you could email it. I would really apperciate that. Pulling the liner out of the outter shaft case, looks good. and is nice and thick where the holes were.
 
When I get home

I'll try and send it to you! Think you'll find it helpful.
Geoff Delp (think I spelled that right) may be if help too. He's a member here, you can look him up.. Who knows he may stop by here!
 
Thanks

Wow that's great. I will enjoy reading it.
I think there's an oiling port on the bottom of the plate in the ( don't know the proper term) indention that has the gasket.
I tried the agitator on the spline no problems with it. Spins freely after
cleaning and cleaning the bearing in the bottom of the plate.
 
Haven't

Forgot you.. Just trying to figure out how to send it to you from 16 year old computer that I've almost forgot how to use..
Hang tight .. Will try again tomorrow!
 
Thats fine... thanks.

Stan I have those issues too. Built the lip on the shaft housing last nite, now to remove the liner. What fun.
 
Ordering goodies

Just ordered this from Phil's Maytag

Maytag Washer A4298 Seal for Agitator Shaft Package
Just the start I presume.
 
Hi Sheryl

Just sent you the Maytag Maunual PDF from my desktop.
Let me know if you get it.
having trouble with my desktop, not sure it went through?
 
Got it.

Your desk top worked fine... Thank you Thank you....The manual came thru fine. Has all the info we will need.
We got the vertical wringer shaft all cleaned out. a few hard chunks but the gears are good and spin freely.
Still cleaning gasket residue off the inside of the tub. Hard as a rock.
Parts shipped from phil. I'll see if the plate shaft repair I did will work.
Thinking about sitting the tub in the bath tub with hot hot water and vinegar to see if it willl
soften the residue. and clean some of the tarnish off the tub.
 
Good idea!

A good soak may save a lot of elbow grease.
If you look at that thrust bearing ect in the manual you'll see why I thought you need one.
Take pics of that part of the refurbing if you can !
Have you tried rubbing compound or fine cut cleaner on the tub?
 
Got the pictures backwards. Wow thats a huge picture.

Well got the parts and had to add better lip. The water seal will be under the lip centered the washer appears to be able to fit correctly. I have to wait for my assistant( lol) to get home to get a second opinion.
I have to order the parts number catalog to order a worm drive and seals from Phil.
Found a possible donor for 50.00 about 1.5 hrs drive. They OF COURSE never tested it to see if it works.
Asked if they would check it out today. Not spending 3 hrs and and have the parts I need not working.

But guess I'll wait to see if the donor works, I may have a frankenwasher. This is a clean looker but the oil on the top is a concern no pics of the legs so we'll see.

The oil

On the machine might be from someone trying to "add oil"..thinking that adding it through the wringer head drive shaft, that it will reach the Power Unit. (It won't)
Adding gear oil at that location will cause grease to oze back out
Keep us posted on your progress!
