I have worked on 3 different models of Maytag wringer washers and have never seen this mechanism before. This may sound like a silly question -but are you sure it's a Maytag?
If you provide more details as to the model type and perhaps a photo of the entire machine, it would be helpful. Then hopefully somebody - perhaps myself - can help you with some advice. |

I see that it appears to be the shaft for the rack inside the gear box. As you can see from the attached photo (taken from an earlier discussion here), the shaft is supposed to be flush with the sides of the power unit housing.
According to my manual, the rack shaft is tapered and can only be driven out one way. Apparently, the one on your machine has worked itself loose. The shaft can only be driven out from the end where the thrust bearing is located (that's the round cover with the raised "X" on it.) There are a few member who have experience taking apart this type of power unit, but from what I can decipher, the pulley will have to be removed so you can tap the rack shaft back into place, flush with the housing. Hope that helps!
