Swestoyz's proved a load sensor agitator from a more mod
in a Center Dial Maytag with the 50 cycle pulley. I put a link to the video I speak of below. It shows what is like using a regular tirquoise power fin agitator and then the load sensor agitator with the cork screw upper half in an early 60's Maytag. Since all Maytag washers between 1958 and circa 1991 use the same helical drive tranny this video applies to an 806 or a 712 as well. In the video it is plain to see that the load sensor agitator takes all the stress off the tranny and tub brake but still provides really good turn over. Hope this help answer your question....PAT COFFEY

takes the stress off It's true, but the LoadSensor (dual-action) agitator is boring to me now. I'm tired of it's kind, I like the Power-fin agitator. Other members in the club have 50 cycles Maytag washers, do all of their washtubs index? I want to find out if the Power-fin agitator only can be used. | ||

Has anyone replaced the brake package on any of their "06", "08", "10" or "12" washers and no longer saw tub indexing? Took the old tub brake out of my white 806 that's under construction and threw it on my 712 that was beginning to index even on medium loads. Tub doesn't index, even in overloaded situations. | ||

beginning to index even on medium loads So, are the brake system package of the 806 washers stronger than the 712's? And, I guess there aren't many in the club that uses the 50 hz pulley Maytag. | ||

I doubt it. The tub brake was probably replaced on the 806 at some time or the machine itself saw little use. Judging by the wear on the buttons, it probably saw little use. It was in storage for 9 years before I got my hands on it. I have a couple of new brakes on hand and was going to throw a new one of on the 806 anyway. It'll be interesting to see how long the 806 brake will last on the 712. | ||

Qsd-dan, have you ever thought about turbo-charging your 806 or 712? Did you check out Swestoyz 'HotRod Maytag' washer with 50 hz pulley video? | ||

Personally, I'm really happy with the performance with the older transmissions in stock form. I don't really see any real benefit using the 50htz setup, as far as cleanability, unless one works for construction or some other outfit where clothes get heavily soiled. I do see the probability of accelerated wear and tear on materials washed with the 50 hertz setup. I guess one day I'll have to bite the bullet and do a back to back test to see if there really is an advantage in cleanability without much sacrifice in the life of my clothing. | ||

probability of accelerated wear and tear Hmmm, I thought of that as well. Do you know of a way to leave the agitation speed as is (63 OPM) but, can accelerate the spin speed to (750 RPM plus)? | ||

Your newer dependable care has a siphon break in the drain line which slows the flow of the drain water. | ||

Tom, thanks for the info, so in lieu of a siphon break, if my second drain now capped off cannot handle the water. I should? Get a siphon break or can i just crimp the hose a little with a clamp? thanks arthur | ||
