To test a few memories, one may remember the story of my 1977 Maytag Wringer that I inherited from my great aunt. It wound up in my Grandmothers shed for about 6 years and was partially flooded by Hurricane Isabelle in 2003 (along with my 1946 Stromberg Carlson radio console). Anyways, I moved both of them to my house a few months back. As mentioned on another thread, my friend Dave is coming down in a week and a half. Among other projects, we both would like to work on the wringer and get it operational. I did plug it up briefly in 2005 or 2006 and it did agitate, but turned it off within a minute just in case the transmission fluid was contaminated with water. Long story short (too late), I have a thousand questions. How do I check to see if the transmission oil has water in it? How do I go about draining the oil? What kind of new oil should I get? How much should I put in it? How much should I pay? Should I get a new safety switch? The old one fell appart. OR what kind of size/type of bolt should I get to bypass it? Any idea where I could find new wheels? The old ones are pretty well shot. Anyone have any (or could make any) PDF scans of repair manuals that might be of assistance? P.S. This is not my washer, though mine does have a little rust on it, it's never been stored outside. I include it just for a visual of the same model that I found online. Thanks fellas! |
