Something wicked this way comes! A White WestingQueen?

[scrubflex]

Actually, I think the (White)Westinghouse, General Electric and Hoover (spiral/swirl) deep ramp and high ramp are the BEST TURNOVER agitators designed next to the dual action agitator. They're capable of handling very extra large and heavy loads. Like the dual action, the ramps 'FORCE' the load down and PLUNGE the laundry to the bottom of the tub very fast.

Also, on the underside of the agitator were stock numbers for the colors, including blue, pistachio, and harvest gold. I've never seen any of those variations other than blue, but would love to have a pistachio!

{{{{ sigh }}} I just love it. lol

My 1968 Westinghouse was had a 2-in-1 spiral/swirl deep ramp with hand wash agitator, pistachio green. I've seen it white and blue but, not harvest gold.
The first picture has the pistachio green.
The second picture I think it might be harvest gold color.

 

[scrubflex]

It may be the harvest gold one.

 

[scrubflex]

Yes, I love it too
Dan I hope you'll make as many videos with your White WestingQueen...As you did with your Speed Queen so we can enjoy WestyQueen with you.
Simply AWESOME!!!

Dan, what is the part number of the ramp agitator?

 

[danmantn]

Darn, I ailed to snap a pic of it before I attended it together. When I'm back up there (cabin) I'll take it apart and check on it.

 

[danmantn]

Was there a fabric softener attachment for these?

 

[scrubflex]

This one is the white color...side view

[danmantn]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Is that the best company to order from or SearsParts?

 

[danmantn]

What's the part number please? And if you have an interest in selling those Pistachio agitators, just let me know.

 

[yogitunes]

THAT dispenser is for the WCI built machines....

the one in reply number 22 is what fits a true Westinghouse

 

[danmantn]

And such a pretty blue, too...

 

[scrubflex]

Sorry Dan, that's a picture of someone's Westy from the club...I can not remember who.
I usually shop around for the best price to get my parts. This fabric softener dispenser part is from repairclinic.com. The part number is 5303310293 and the deep ramp agitator in (white) part number is 5300166192, just in case...the true blue is prettier
I can't wait until you make a 'Bobload' maximum washload video with the WestingQueen.
Jon (jons1077) made a video of his 1972 White Westinghouse and the washer tub (2.7 or 2.8 cu ft) handled 8 large bath towels (25" x 60"), 5 hand towels and a washcloth. With the 3.3 cu ft stainless steel and deep ramps partnered, could probably handle at least 5 or 6 more towels.

New Westinghouse Agitator for a New Speed Queen

Cool conversion how fun to see a vintage agitator in another washer. Some of the members here could make adptors so that various different agitators could be installed in new SQs.

 

Your Westinghouse agitator works better in the SQ than it did in the orignal WH washer mostly due to the lack of a silly indexing wash basket that WH had, however the SQ agitator would still turn over a really heavy load better as ramp style agitators while fun to watch were never great at turning big JOHN loads, LOL.

I've seen a video of a large (standard) capacity GE washer using the high ramp agitator washing and turning over 24 polo short sleeve shirts. I completely amazed that it circulated the entire load of shirts throughout the wash cycle.

Harry....there is a sort of apples to oranges comparison alone in just comparing a standard capacity GE Filterflo, and a large capacity.....both using ramps, and equal loads to tub size comparison....that smaller size will move a load better....and most likely because the ramps dont continue to swirl to the top, they actualy straighten up for the increased capacity...not to mention that one speed kick ass compared to a two speed......

I have a one speed, non slip clutch, large capacity now, that has better turnover than its two speed brother....whowold have thought that little bit of extra torque makes a difference....this is what I am used to from my mothers V12...

changing out agitators is fun....and seeing the differences, this one I did to the Maytag, not so bad, but a ramp would have worked better in my opinion because of the slower stroke and slippage of the belt....vane all the way up compared to a Powerfin seemed to have slowed it down a bit

Okay. Hey Yogi, how've you been!?!
