So I have the new motor for the 1960 Highlander and before I stick it in there tomorrow, i have a quick question about the wiring.

Old motor is apparently a 70's replacement (round "servicible" type motor with the 70's /// Maytag logo).

Old motor has the following wire colors:
-Orange
-Red
-Yellow
-White
-White w/ Brown Stripes
-White w/ Black Stripes

New motor is a "T" frame motor, but still a 2-speed which I'm told will work with the washer. Has the same "glide mount" and everything.

It has hookups for:
-R (Red)
-Y (Yellow)
-O (Orange)
-WH (White?!?!)
-B (Black)
-BR (Brown)

So my question is this:
Do the striped wires go to their respective stripe colors? And does the white wire go to the WH terminal? I'm guessing yes, but I want to make sure before I put it in there. I don't have a schematic for the washer anywhere, or else I could figure it out that way!

Thanks in advance, I want to put the thing together tomorrow afternoon to see if she runs! If she does, there WILL be a video, you can be sure of that.

No idea, but from where I sit it sounds right to me.
The old motor and the new hookups match in wire color and in number of wires. That is good sign!

Does this link help you or anyone?

For Future Reference...

 So that if anyone ever searches the archives for an answer to this question:

YES! The motor wires exactly as I stated above. I gave it a trial run and everything works perfectly!

Replacement motor is a Maytag 2-1807 2-speed T-Frame motor.

Washer is a 1960 Maytag 126 Highlander.
