Restored 1st Generation TA806
Great job Cory, as busy as we all are its always great to get a big project like this done.
The agitator spline insert is replaceable in the Bakelite and poly agitators' you just need the part and a press to press it into place. Tom [turbomatic ] found these splines being sold by a guy that sells parts for MT WWs.

Cory, I have to say you have one beautiful setup. Love all three colors.
Thanks again guys! Guess I better get after that Westy next.
Regarding that spline insert, the original had to be chiseled off the shaft, no saving that for sure.
John, I'll do a little sleuthing on a replacement; this wasn't the same seller who deals in the rubber stop rings? I do have a press...worth a shot to see if I can save that agitator anyhow.

Wow! Really nice. Congrats and enjoy!
Great Job!
Such fantastic work, you should be very proud!
Inserting spline....
According to my copy of Maytag service manual there is a series of tools used to remove and replace splines into Gyrators.
First is type of base that holds the thing while work is done, other bits are used to extract old spline, then replace with new.
To replace one is supposed to leave agitator in the aforementioned base, line up new spline properly using tool, then press in with what is basically an arbor press.
Have seen pictures of Maytag washer repair places where the "arbor press" already had a the tool used for inserting spline attached. At least one lucky member has this tool, see picture below.
As for inserting a new spline without proper Maytag tools, suppose if one has at least a press and using a bit of ingenuity it might be possible. Don't think a mallet or sledge hammer will do it. *LOL*
Both the Maytag guy in Ovid, NY and Bunker Hill Appliances will press splines into agitators with purchase IIRC. Not sure if either will or won't if you just send them your own and are willing to pay. For someone that does not own proper tools even with nominal service charge plus shipping both ways seems a better option.
