Here is the similar model in white. Vanes look a bit shorter.

Scrubflex, The commercial maypool, may have what you are looking for. Its been a while but i think someone posted one that was actually black in color. I am uncertain, but the pic you posted made me think of that. Try searcholator. alr2903 | ||

Alr2903, what or who is the "commercial maypool"? And, I've never seen any of the DD agitators in black. | ||

Do you have any model numbers of the maypool commercial machines. I can Google search the washer agitator parts. | ||

No, not that one Malcolm...the 2 piece is designed like the two models (top-to-bottom) you posted from ebay...with a few changes...the vanes on the upper column are slightly narrower than the 1 piece and the base vanes, longer. | ||

Scrubflex -
The biggest single difference that I can see between the one-piece Straight-Vane and the two piece appears to be the taper, or sweep of base fins on the two piece. Compare the top of the fins to the one-piece's fins. The one piece has a step-down notch on them, whereas the two-piece does not. I believe the two-piece base is used on a number of agitators, including as you mentioned the WP Surgilators, and maybe even as a base for some DAs? I remembered one model which is where I think I first noticed the two piece agitator on the Sears floor. Check parts direct for model number 110.92260100. This is the single speed, Super (aka Large) capacity 3.0 cu. ft. Kenmore 60 series washer from 1992 which had the two piece straight vane. The parts drawing is odd as it shows two agitators, one being the top of your two-piece unit, and the other being a full single piece SV. The original part numbers don't point to a single piece SV however. This not the first time that I've seen slight inaccuracies in a Kenmore drawing, however it lists the screws you mention that hold the top and bottom parts together, as well it gives you all the original part numbers should you care to look for them on ebay. I don't think this agitator was used very long - I didn't notice the taper of the vanes being different between the two SVs until this post, but I seem to recall the 60-series machines not selling well, then when Sears did offer a white on white model which did sell well a few years later (it sold by the truckload) they were equipped with the one-piece agitator. Good luck! Gordon This post was last edited 06/19/2011 at 20:17 | ||

The agitator in Malcolm's most recent post....
Part number 285622 is a fascinating agitator. Yes they were used largely in commercial washers, BUT it was standard in one BOL Roper washer that was available until just a year or so ago - RTW4000. This is the brushed aluminum panel, 24-inch wide one-knob wonder with one cycle, no water level selections, one speed, one temp (it had only a single solenoid mixing valve). I WOULD LOVE TO FIND ONE OF THESE TODAY. I should have grabbed one when I could last year when there were a few in stock in Metro Atlanta. Whirlpool offered a version of this machine for consumer sales also though I don't know exactly when. I found one on Craigslist last year that was made in 1995.
The fins on this agitator were nearly as large in surface area on the top as the bottom. I used two of these commercial machines last January on a Florida trip. It was hard to watch as the machine had that pesky habit of shutting off when I opened the lid, but in 15 second intervals, nothing was at the top of the basket that was there 15 seconds earlier. Using this agitator in a large capacity machine or most any other home machine requires careful monitoring of the water level, as machines that use it fill about 2-inches short of the normal top fill, and water comes right up to the cap.

Why not create your own....mix and match tops and bottoms....
for most DD, I use the ex-large blue base from a KitchenAid, and a white top from a Whirlpool, with a plain cap, FS dispenser is optional......I wished the base came in white too, but you never see it when its washing anyway......and if you want roll over, this is the base you want! | ||

Sure you can Spooki, I have a DD Triple-Action (spiral vane) and the Total Care (superflex vanes) agitator...mix-matched. Hi Yogi, that agitator is in white...try these part numbers...3950579 (3349582) and (3349583)...
