whirlpool harvest gold Super Capacity w double duty super Surgilator

[smoochies189]

my 1968 harvest gold whirlpool Super Capacity 18 pound washer with a double duty super Surga later agitator. it came with the original surgilator but I had an extra double duty lying around so decided change it out to see how it would work. When I got this machine I had to totally restore mechanically working under it. The magic clean lint filter could not be saved and I could not find another one so I found parts Emmanuel filter on it. Not exactly what I wanted to do but I wanted to make it as operational as possible so had to make a few minor changes. Also previous owner destroy timer dial which took me forever to find a new one. After 11 years of searching I recently found one Thank God told electors!

I guess the video you wanted to show is among these:

Oh, and BTW, I'd like to see the machine's control panel! Can you post pictures of it?

Hey Smoochies, your washer did not have the original (27 gallon) washbasket Super SURGILATOR agitator? The one that has the 'higher' straight/ wavy-vanes...

That is not a 1968 WP washer but much closer to a 1978 or newer. Give us a Model # and we can give better advice.

Multiple Machines?

Looks like spinning videos of several different machines...

Photo 1, harvest machine, is an LDA series, 1976-1977.  Model tag pic doesn't show the serial number, which will date it to the year and week of manufacture.

If I am correct, the original tall Super Surgilator needs a tall post transmission....to which, if this was from 1968, a Double Duty version would not fit.......

1978 is more closer to it, since they used the same trannies for both size tubs.....both large and exlarge capacity agitators would work, not to mention several from the Kenmore lineup...

further more, the vids still don't work...get with the program.....wouldn't hurt to fill in your profile as well.....

you can also start a collection page, and post all of your machines there to share with everyone...you can check out other members collections as well....

I'll switch the agitator out and show you that it does work. And it does have the long post and shaft.the second link I posted of the machine running seems to work fine for me. But I'm also doing all this on a smartphone.

It's a LDA!!!

Hey Smoochies, why don't you have any 'money shots'---agitator in tub? Or, any pics of the agitators, the fun factors. Also, your video is 'private', I could not look at it. And last, please make some videos with the original Super SURGILATOR agitator, the high/long straight vanes seem to make a difference in the design oppose to the standard Surgilator agitator. Those vanes look like they give the extra large and large loads a thrashing. They're no videos of the LDA original SURGILATOR in action ANYWHERE!!!

 

[smoochies189]

I've checked my YouTube settings I don't know how many times now I can understand why its not playing. Worse comes to worse I'll have to do another video then try it again. It's the harvest gold doing a medium load. And I'll switch out that agitator so you can see it but the original.

Late 70s WP Washer Agitators

Are ALL the same on ALL full sized washers in the WP LDA and LFA models.

 

When we were selling these machines new we got a few complaints about washing performance in the 27 gallon machines, this is why WP came out with the Double-Duty-Super-Surglitor for the LHA 1980 machines.

Hey Smoochies, the video is still blocked and private. Just post the videos on YouTube and we can see them there. I'd like to download them to my computer...

 

[scrubflex]

John, what were the complaints? The Super SURGILATOR was not able to handle the 27 gallon washloads?

Double-Duty Surgilator debuted on the LFA series for 1978 model year.  I recall being a tad disappointed when neighbors got an LFA9800 and another neighboring family an LFA7800, both with the new-style agitator compared to our LDA7800.
