Sears shipped the cap and the agitator is shipping next week on the 11th....I am soooooo moist!
Chill Mike
I know the excitement.....but do let me know if you got them...
also can you measure your agitator top to bottom?....just curious if it is the same size.....thanks

The height is 15 inches and the diameter is 13.25 inches. The height is without the fabric softener dispenser.
Thanks Mike
I wish they made the fins a little larger, thats a big tub of clothes it has to move, if they used the same design as the solid tub agitators, can you imagine the wash action, thats what I love about the solid tubs I have, only three vanes, but with the 210degree stroke, its the splash up that is created, heavy loads don't have a chance, now you got me thinking of a way to get one of these mounted to try it out....

I am thinking that they reduced the height of the vane because maybe the transmission couldnt handle it. You know how some people put a Maytag PowerFin Agitator into an orbital drive Maytag washer and the turbulance one gets but someone said that the larger vanes put a huge strain on the transmission..thats why they have the smaller vanes for the LoadSensor and PowerFlex 12 agitator. But I am wondering as well..are you going to make a FrankenAgitator mating the base of the FlexVane with the SQ HighVane agitator....cant wait to see your work doctor...
Mike
we think too much alike....lol....
but thats what I was figuring, they said it could not be done with a Maytag helical I have, but I did, I used the base of a loadsensor, and slid several agitators over top and a few small screws held it in place.....GE's roto-swirl worked best
Can you imagine a roto-swirl with a 210 degree stroke?
doctor at work...more like evil scientist...lol...there is no method to my madness.......like Wile E. Coyote, supergenious!
give me an ACME catalog, and pipe full of fun kit number 7, and I am on my way....yeah, right off the cliff>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now I cant wait to see which UPS man delivers my goodies from Sears...there is one that comes here every so often he has got to be a body builder..freakin arms on him and an adorable face to match and fur..he had his shirt open...so yes Martin you could say..we do think alike! I maybe chained to the fence, but I still like to bark for attention!...now back to our program.

We have a military base in Millington out side of Memphis how could I go about finding out if there is someone that sells off their washers I am sure that they use the same one that you are getting. I need to get a back up washer because my Samsung is giving me trouble and these sound like a great deal and Speed Queens are hard to get here I got my mother one and she loves it I just can not afford 500.00 dollars on a washer at this time.
Mike
You hit the nail on the head......I have a hot UPS guy too, and chained to fence is correct.....but what else can you do to a bear other than bark, its good for their self esteem.....lol....more on this later
I found these machines on craigslist, then when I called is how I found out where they came from.....but you could probably go to the military base and find out who supplies the laundry on base, they also supply laundromats....they contract this stuff out to a supplier, somebody has to be doing it

I ordered more dispensers last week, they emailed, backorder delay of about 1 week...so we will see....
my agitator is on backorder and they have no clue as to when it will be shipped. Sears seems to think in 10 business days...but the cap shipped..so we will see.
I got an e-mail saying they were sorry stuff was backordered (7 days later). Oddly though, I clicked on the order status and one had shipped--guess I'll get a notice 7 days from now that it has shipped (and after I received it). Ridiculous. I guess their online business must match their brick-n-mortar business in lack of efficiency. 
hmmm I should check mine and see if they did that to me too.
