New guy who picked up a Maytag A512

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

The 50 hz pulley and genuine Maytag/Whirlpool branded belts were installed today. I took the time to also lube the motor carriage slides. The motor carriage springs appear to be in good shape, I don't think this washer got much use over the years.

As you guys and gals could imagine, the turnover is quite good now. I'm going to finish it off with a LS agitator (p/n 22001821).
 
I have stopped tinkering with the A512 as I am satisfied with its cleaning performance.

50 hz pulley + belts
LS agitator (p/n 22001821)
Fabric softener cup (p/n 22003984)

The turnover is still good with the LS agitator and there's zero indexing (i attached a small piece of duct tape at the 12 o'clock position to see if it moves).

The turnover was better with the original agitator + 50 hz pulley but it indexed significantly.
