Agi shaft -
If your attempts with epoxy fall short, you could always opt for a parts machine. More than likely you can find a 70's or 80's BOL 'Tag near by for cheep or nearly free. I can't say I've seen them by the thousands, but I haven't seen these get this bad on later machines (probably due to the non-splined Power Fins.) The machine came out stunning! Ben | ||

Wow, that is the same washer we had when I was growing up. I remember the day (around 1967 I think) we got it, actually it was in the evening and my mom, dad and I were down in the basement watching it work for the first time! Prior to that my mom had a wringer washer (don't know what brand it was). I do remember it had a black agitator and the lint catcher was chrome with the black cup on the top and the black rubber band on the bottom. My mom used that washer up until the day she died in 2001. I don't remember it ever needing a repair other than a new belt. Gary | ||

I may be of assistance...
Can you post the model/serial? I didn't see it in the above posts. I just may have access to the orig service manual or at least I should be able to find some instructions on tear down and rebuilding of the trans and the brake package repair and adjustment. I can fax them to you or whatever... QSD can attest to the large amount of older books and manuals I have access to... The brake tool is still very much available and is a small price to pay for if you and your Maytags are to stay together for a while. That is if you don't already have it... RCD | ||
