Requesting info on this vintage Maytag set

[good-shepherd]

on their sides, it's certainly not best practice to do s

I've transported many Maytag's laying down on their back side with no ill effects.

As Yogitune's mentioned when a minty set like that comes along buy first ask questions later.

as with the Jeep,

I lay the machine on its right side, slide and twist with the backside of the washer up against the front seats....

and the dryer goes in next, most times it has to lay on its front(remove the door knob) as to clear the wheel well humps....but have had clearance with laying it on its left side, and the rear of the cabinet facing the rear hatch....

I also have a Mountaineer/Explorer, I need to check dimensions if it will work the same....

I also have a rear carrier that slides into the towing hitch....using a blanket to wrap the dryer, and laid down sideways, and then ratchet strap it in place to secure....

many idea to consider....but never had an issue laying a machine on its side....sometimes you may have to add something like these noodles to secure the suspension if needed....

Yes that’s a great idea, Martin.  Thank you.  I do have some pool noodles.  And they’re not being used at this time of year....even in sunny Palm Springs!

I do have some pool noodles.

They won't really help much on a vintage Maytag washer, the tub design is different.

You'd have to remove the front panel and wrap them around the tub, Probably easier to stuff moving blankets in there instead at that point.

As mentioned I transported and wrestled many Maytags up and down stairs without damage.

However, I always use an appliance hand truck.
