got this washer last fall for free. maytag mod 510 cleaned it up changed the belts and runs wonderfully. have 2 questions what year is this machine? and since its a single speed machine what i want to do is get the parts to change it into a 2 speed machine. will need a 2 speed motor and control head with switches and the wire harness that runs from the heas down to the motor, any one out there that has extra parts that are in good condition? please mail me this is the pic of the current control head

OH DAMN! Pinkgurl in Brownsburg had one of these machines and got rid of it last fall when she got a new washer/dryer set... I knew I should I have cannabalized it for parts....
I am sure that someone has one and take heart, Chris, I see these models pop up on craigslist often - if you don't find a motor donor locally, I may be able to find one up here for you!

quickest methods would be to change the whole head and motor...............just make sure the capacity is the same for water levels...........

most of us have done this before.....you can change it in under 30 minutes...

what year is this machine?

1980 - late 1983

Snag a console from a 710 or 810.

If you don't mind mixing generations, a 12 series console is a direct bolt on, like a 712.
