Oh, Gansky and Lightedcontrols both think it quite likely there is a varience in diameter. | ||

Steve what does the vent tube look like on that mechanism? How tall is it? You have a very odd washer there. From the pictures you posted you have a 1947 Agitator Column with a 1948 Cabinet with a 1949 Chrome Escutcheon Plate and a 1949 Timer Dial and Timer and a 1950 Tub. So I am wondering about the mechanism???? Tonight I will look at the parts book and let you know if there is any difference. | ||

Reading Frigidaire Parts Doctrine:
The housing (bell) and bearing retainer nut were the same part numbers from 1947-1958. The nut and seal assembly was different for the earlier models, changed in 1957 but I would think the diameter would be exactly the same if the threaded top of the bell never changed. If you have the long vent tube on your mechanism bell-housing, it's not a 47 but I'm not sure when that was changed, Robert will know but other than for trivia's sake, it won't help get that retaining nut out! Can you try the machine shop again?

Hey
Steve. I lost your contact information and deleted your last cell phone call by accident. I wanted to thank you so much for showing your machines to me and Rob. We had a great time. The concert was excellent. BTW I'm moving to Columbia, SC to take care of my Father now. I'm moving in with a friend who lives around the corner and have to give up my 40" stove, but I'll get my vitage washer again someday. I hope things are going well for ya. Thanks so much for your hospitality. Joe jamman_98 | ||

Yes I'm home now and just checked as well, I have a parts book from 1948 and one from 1958 both show the same part numbers for the housing bell, bearing and bearing retainer ring. Steve what you probably can do to make this easy is simply drill a couple of holes down into the bearing retaining ring and use a chisel and hammer to spilt and break the ring, I did this before I had the tool. Then replace the bearing and at the hardware store buy an Internal Retaining Ring that is just slightly larger than the housing opening. Slip that ring down over the top of the bearing (you will need Internal Retaining Ring Pliers). The threads from the housing will hold the retaining ring in place and you should be good to go. You guys might have an extra bearing ring in your parts stash, it was a common part back then. The long style vent tube like on your mechanism Steve was first used on the 1949 models. | ||
