Those round discs are the way they came originally and can be seen in the photo below(taken from the Maytag Helical Drive book). The drawback to them is that if a chunk of hard debris of some kind were to find its way into the motor carriage and get under one of the wheels, it could jam the wheel and prevent it from moving and the carriage from sliding, whereas the square type would just plow right through. But if you keep your cabinet clean inside that shouldn't be an issue.
Unfortunately, what little information there is about this setup in the Repair Master book can be found on pages 34 and 35, but I think you'll find the images provided are a bit dark and don't help much. The helical drive book from Maytag does a better job. But the truth is that the assembly is so simple, once you see how it's put together you'll likely agree that no other info is really needed. I've emailed you the relevant pages from the helical drive manual that explain how to check and adjust tension of the pump and drive belts, but you really should think about downloading the entire manual. If you like to fix things yourselves it's a great resource to have. You've mentioned that you prefer hard copies, so just put it on a flash drive and have it printed out somewhere and bound. You won't regret it. |

Didn't even think of taking it somewhere to print. Thanks for the information! |

Where and how are these Maytag Repair Master books available for download? I'm just about ready to do trans rebuild on a 1966 Maytag A806 and its always good to have a repair manual on hand. |
