Hello everybody,
I just recently picked up a Maytag model N2L wringer washer for 40 bucks. I have never had exposure to a wringer washer before being born in 1989. I am now hooked on them. I did not know any better at the time but put the washer on it's side for transport. I discovered after I went to take the washer out of the car, about a cup full of oil spilled out. I think the oil came out of the breather hole shaft that comes out of the power unit. The washer has set upright now for two weeks and no oil has leaked out. I did purchase a service manual and was planning to take off the agitator to add oil to the power unit. The agitator is stuck on and I have tried everything from heat to pull on the shaft part. It would seem I am in need of a agitator puller tool #38323.
Overall the washer is in great shape. I did plug it in after a bit of cleaning up. If I heard grinding in any way the plan was to shut it off immediately. BUT THE MACHINE RAN AS QUIET AS A MOUSE. After cleaning the tub I even ran a load of laundry through it! The wringer works great as well, the rollers are in mint condition. Everything works as it should. I had the machine running for over an hour and 1/2. Everything still sounded quiet. The electric motor was hot to the touch though.
*I am trying to find a exact production year for this model.* I have looked at the Maytag serial number sheet explained on "Dave's Repair.com" I still cant find a exact year. The serial number on the tub reads: 71504XL. There is a stamped date on the electric motor housing: 8/65. Any idea's?
