i've seen many people here talking about the 50 hz pulleys and belts to make the maytag's rev faster....but does anyone have part numbers for this upgrade...or where i could get them from? i have a helical drive and would like to kick it up a notch

Another question

Has anyone ever tried the 50 hz. pulley on an orbital transmission? Wondering what that would do to the already fast/short stroke agitation....

All your clothes will tremble with fear... ;-)

As far as bearings go - over the long term there may be some accelerated wear spinning at 750 RPM, but if it is just a play machine I can't see it really doing that much harm considering the lower brake bearing and transmission sleeve bearing are virtually bullet proof. Now, if you were spinning it up to 1200 RPM - that'd be a different story.

The radial bearing used in 2 belt topload Maytag washers is also used for the rear spin bearing in a Neptune ;)

Try Y202496 (Whirlpool part now) - most parts houses carry it anywhere between 55 and 65 bucks.

Partstore.com claims to have everything in stock. The part # needs to be entered correctly. Sorry, I forget that everyone here doesn't know how to cross reference Maytag part #'s. Enter the part # in the parenthesis.

Motor pulley 2-2496 (202496)

Drive belt 2-11948 (211948)

Pump Belt 2-11451 (211451)

50 Hz amp...

Pdub, a 50 Hz pulley and belts will increase the orbital tranny agitation to 159 OPM and the spinning to 757 RPM. It's going to effect the spin speed more than anything. But, it's more impressive to see it work on the helical tranny. It's just right!

Yogitunes, PLEASE make some videos of your Maytag when you install the 50 cycle (Hz) parts.

How fast does the helical drive then agitate?

Post# 344670 , Reply# 11   4/25/2009 at 12:05 (5,451 days old) by scrubflex (bronx, new york)        

The helical drive transmission agitating speeds increases from REGULAR 63 to (72 OPM) and GENTLE 42 to (51 OPM).
IMO, a 1/2 HP motor also increases the strength of the transmission agitation stroke. Which will create an even stronger "rollover" current enabling more laundry to be washed per load size.

super washpower power-fin agitator...

Gansky installed a 50 cycle pulley and belt set on his A810 Maytag washer. He said, it increased the speeds approximately 30%. But, between Eddy210 and Gansky figures, it's more likely the increase was (22 1/2%). So, the old regular wash 63 OPM moves to (77 OPM) and a fast spin 618 OPM to (757 RPM)

BTW, does anyone know the actual size of the Dependable Drive transmission agitation ARC?
