Hi all, I finally got around to doing a full cycle video with my 'tag, so here it is. It's not perfect, but I certainly had fun making it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO tuthill's LINK

Yep, that transmission sounds like the one on the A206 I had growing up. It was making that labored sound after about 25 years of use. Yours just needs a tune up. The Tag experts on the board will guide you in accomplishing the job. Good Luck, James | ||

Good job on your vid Jed! I'm sure you know have a good feeling for the effort it takes to build a 9 minute movie, then load it up on Youtube ;-) I think in time a complete rebuild would be good for this machine. New transmission fluid, o-rings, bearings, and a stem/boot seal will ensure this machine would last many more decades. But, until you are ready for that endeavor - check out the motor glide on this unit. I have a feeling that it could use a good cleaning, and new rollers and springs. Make sure you use the lube from Maytag on the glide. I never changed the belts - so I'm sure they are the originals too. I have a feeling this machine sat unused in the basement of the kind lady that I received it from for many years - thus the oil/fluid probably has churned into grease. In the next few weeks I will be scanning in the complete Maytag repair manual on .pdf - so you should be able to use that for reference. Make sure to grab that injector set! Ben | ||

The old oil has more than likely leaked and/or hardend and posibly crystalised.I had one that was doing the same thing and completely overhauled it.I found out so much more about he way it worked The only thing you need to be careful on is when opening up the trans to drain out the oil,don't drop the part you removed!They're made of pig iron and can shatter especialy if they land on a concrete floor!Mine was o.k but another one I worked on at my jobsite did just that.Thank God we had plenty of their old,dependable Helical drive machines out back!After soaking all the gears in cleaning solution and relubing the trans,I placed a new gasket on and resealed it.I also replaced the tub seal and belts.It purred like a cat after that and agitated fine.My cousin,Nancy still has it(A606 with it's matching dryer. Both in coppertone.
