So, Gary who is the Maytag repair expert of the group....helped to fix it! Here is the group assiting Gary.......turned out this washer still had the original METAL pump on it.......I had a new plastic one........Gary installed it in a jiffy !

More of the metal pump close up.......Maytag made one of the best pumps ever....they were extremely durable.......seldom if ever do they need replaced.......

Taking the pump apart......the metal ones could have been rebuilt at one time in their lives.....before the plastic pump had been invented.....here is the pump all apart......the seal of course was bad...... but still a testament to the good quality build that Maytags always had.....

All fixed and running. This model is from approx 1958 judging from the dates on the back.......which makes it an even 50 yrs old! Thanks to Gary for repairing this.....its now ready for another 50 yrs of good and reliable service......
