I am not sure about the grease but my old Maytag is your vintage and does leak grease down the leg under the wringer but still works fine. As far as the gooseneck, it is a regular hose connection. There is someone on E-Bay selling one last time I looked or you could fashion one out of an old garden hose. My gooseneck finally broke off and I am going to try to redo it someday but use a piece of garden hose for now and it works fine.

I think, is your best bet. From my understanding he has a repair shop in up state New York and works on vintage Maytag wringers. The Email address I have for him is ovidny@gmail.com I also have a phone # for him as well. I have talked to him on the phone before, and he is very nice, can answer all your questions, and has the service manuals and parts for sale, for Maytage wringers.
Hope this helps! |

Thank you for your replies! Stan, I can't find Phil's online, so will be emailing him this am. These machines seem to simple, yet finding parts can be quite complicated. |

I think that Phil's fleabay name is Cayuga2, or something similar. I've gotten several parts from him, and always been pleased. He's most helpful. |
