Without a picture its kind of hard to tell. But the number you posted corresponds to Model 15 & 16 produced from 1931 to 1939. Check out this site:
www.maytagclub.com/... "Maytag Evolution" link on left will give you pictures of the different models produced. Click on "Restoration Info" link on left and then third link in the list "Wringer washer model identification information with serial number" for a list of models and serial numbers. | ||

Lucky girlfriend :o)
A description might help if you don't have no pictures right now.
Is it a square tub or round tub? Is it all white? Or is the bottom white and the top of the tub silver/aluminum? Does the washers lid open to the side & connected to the top of the washtub? Or can you take the lid completely off the washer? Some of these answer might help identify the model without any pictures. :o) | ||

It's certainly not
a 1955. I think that Turquoise release bar and knob came out in 1966. Before that they were red.
Its a model N but I still can't decode the year from that number to determine exact year. The D and the K are throwing me off. There's one service manual for model E J and N. So you won't have a problem getting one. There one here on the forum that you can download. I can't tell from the pics if yours is a pump model or gravity drain. Is the machine fuctining? How the inside tub? Needs some wet sanding and a repaint, but if it's agitating, wringing, draining., then your in good shape! Let us know | ||

Ya
I like to see those two pieces.
Are you able to take off the agitator? It's suppose to be removed when not in use so you can clean under it. If it was a pump model, its suppose to have a screen under the agitator that is removable for cleaning. (Screen also protects the pump from objects that could cause damage to the pump) Your machine has pre drill holes in the cross bars underneath for a pump to be added if the customer wanted to add one. It's not 1940... It's may look like it is because when Maytag came out with their N models, they never changed their design. A 1940 would have had a aluminum agitator, the release bar, and pull knob would have been red. Not sure when Matag changed to a red agitator, but would have been sometime after WW2. About 1954 they changed the agitator to black, then about 1966 changed the agitator, release bar, and pull knob to turquoise. Tubs, motors, transmission, gears, pumps, belt, ect all remained the same. Let us know how you make out. There are lots of parts out there for these machines because they didn't change. And they contuied manufacturing their model E til 1983. Someone who know ps these machine better may come by, and know how to decode, and give you a month and year of manufacture, but I know for sure it's not a 1940 | ||

Take a look at the last post in this thread which discusses serial numbers and date codes on later models. Judging that DK is not in the list it looks like yours is 1966 or later. The person who told you 1967 when you called Maytag is probably correct.

This is what I found...
Brand: Maytag
Type: Clothes Washer Country: USA Model: N2L Serial: 67977DKAccording to the serial number this product may have been manufactured August of 1962 I hope this information helps you. Even though the turquoise color of the agitator, release bar, and pull knob don't seem to match up with that date information. | ||

Yes
That's a very common part that can break. Usually because someone man handled the wringer while its locked. It a easy fix.. I replaced mine.. You'l probably find one on eBay or contact Phil in N.Y
I hung on to my broken one in case it could be welded back together. Your doing well so far! You should be up in running after replacement of that part. Let us know | ||

The pre drilled holes
for the pump where made during manufacturing. This dose not mean it was originally sold with a pump. Just means that it was made to acomadate one. I'll look around for parts other than eBay that may work for you... Davies Repair might have the index slide, but the pump will take longer to locate with out eBay.

Entire pump assembly and hoses were listed on ebay ...
This seller is/was a member here - Jim Barnard (club I.D. - "wringer"). It did not sell, so perhaps he will re-list it if asked.

Definitive date of manufacture...
Hi Jeffrey,
Here's a copy from my manual of serial number ... your machine was manufactured in May, 1967. Re. greasing ... further to Stan's comment, if there's no obvious sign of displacement of gear box lubricant down the wringer leg (the usual location), and there's no sound of "stress" when it's running, there should be no need to be concerned. Have a look underneath at the horizontal drive for the wringer to see if grease has leaked out of the small port that's located on the top of the tube. The ball bearings at each end of the upper wringer roll should be oiled with 3-in-1 every so often, and also the casters, to keep them freely rolling. And as Stan mentioned, the agitator post should be coated lightly with Vaseline to enable easy removal of the agitator. That's it!
