Perhaps check the oil in the transmission or the bearing under the agitator.

how do you get to the bearing under the agitator?

It's called the center plate. Probably not available anymore.

Not sure about a model 32, but all the Maytag wringers I've ever worked on come apart like this. Pull the agitator off, and you'll see a lot of bolts underneath it. Remove the bolts, and then the tub comes out. I think there are a couple of bolts you remove to remove the center plate from the gearcase. Pretty simple to deal with.

Type of tranny oil and how-to check the level

OK panel of experts: i have a Cheiftain that needs some tranny "erl" and no clue what kind to use. Motor oil? Gear lube? Tranny fluid? Magic Marvels Mystery Mix? And the next question is how do you know when its at the right level (and puking oil out the wringerhead is not an option, sorry!:-) Somebody has to know, i just don't wanna run the bugger too low or on an oil type that's not chemically kopasetic with the original stuff in there.

Danke, danke one and all for your suggestions!
