It takes a LOT of time and patience to do what you did. Absolutely amazing job.
one question.......puzzled why you filled in the self clean filters that snap into the tub?

Holy crap! This is an amazing thread. Excellent detail and work. From one Maytag fanatic to another, congratulations, and many thanks go out to you. I will reference this thread when I rebuild the A712's transmission next year.
Lots of great tips and tricks in here. I used that trick you had with the transmission channels, to mark with a sharpie as to where they are at. Excellent idea. Kerosene is an excellent cleaner for gears, bearings, and what have you.
Every time I take a Maytag apart, I am always amazed at the pure genius of the design. Who would have thought to grove the top of the gear posts, so that they can be constantly lubricated? Genius! Guess that can help to why MT transmissions hardly burn out.
This washer will provide you with many many many years of dependable service!

Wow...
What an incredible detailed job.
Out of three Maytags I have, I may rebuild one of my transmissions using this thread.
Thanks so much. The second video is cute. Mom and You watching the Tag disussing the operation. I can't think of many women these days that would be interested in the operation of a machine and what's going on inside.
Thanks Again.

Brian,
Congratulations on a job well done.. Appreciate the time you took to post all the steps you did with this rebuild. I monitored the thread to check the status of your mission and was glad I did.. You did your homework and did a better job than the Maytag Repair Man..I am sure your Mom will enjoy the Machine.
Again GREAT JOB!!!

What a beautiful job !!!
That was like a symphoney
Wow it's nice that all that work you put into it went to your Mom.
How nice is that... that's LOVE.
She seems she supports you in your craft and that's IMPORTANT.
The machine sounds great to me and maybe she will get a little more quit,

hope your mom likes it,lots of work went into that. the video reminds me of when me and my mom used to stand over the washer watching it wash.she would prop the lid up with a spray and wash bottle and use a credit card for the lid switch.we sold the maytag to the neighbor when she moved out of state 8 years ago and bought a whirlpool duet cause my dad didnt want to move it,she says she misses her maytag though.

Anyone who likes Maytags has to be a good guy. Its incredible how few moving parts a Maytag has which makes them dependable but also hard to defend the higher cost when they were new. Your work is spectacular and taking the time to share it all sequentially was a true work of art.
Thanks for all you did.

Regarding My Thread
To Martin, Dave, Kevin, Patrick, Jim, Peter, Eddie, Andrew, Stan, Bill, Darren, Keith and Kelly.
Thank you for all the great compliments. It's nice to be complimented by such knowledgeable people.
Martin- I filled in the tub filters because they were added after the orbital transmission was introduced. Its vigorous action caused excessive linting and Maytag thought this would help. I don't think they do much and when I took the machine apart they were mostly covered with this hard, crusty, brown substance. Maytag made blanks for these inner tubs when they were to be used with the Newton transmission (probably during the transition phase), but I couldn't find any so I made my own.
It was mentioned on here quite some time ago that instructions for rebuilding a Maytag transmission with a pictorial would be appreciated and since I was doing it I decided to give it a shot.
I know the thread was extremely long, but I couldn't show it step by step without the length. Even at that, I condensed it to try and cut down on your fatigue. It was a tremendous amount of work that took 8 to 9 months. The documentation and post was about as much work as the mechanical procedure and I doubt I'll be posting anything like that again.
I can't take all the credit for it. It was redcarpetdrew's idea to use the agitator drive shaft seal under the new type mounting stem. I learned a lot of other things by researching posts from different people. I just used their ideas with some of my own, merged them and took pictures.
Thanks again and take care.
Brian
p.s. My Mother is great and she's really smart. She taught me how to do laundry when I was little. She's getting on in years and I wish I could be with her more.
Her Mother was remarkable. She lived through two World Wars and the Great Depression. It seemed like there wasn't anything she couldn't do. She had to or do without. She was very artistic. She could sew, knit beautifully and paint. She even painted a picture of the Golden Gate before the bridge was there.
