Hi there Andy! It was a pleasure meeting you too! The reason I ask about this agitator is because my room mate recently acquired a Maytag washer/dryer set in Harvest Gold with the washer being a model HA806. He was wondering if this would fit. The washer is in fact a "Big Tub", but the agitator on the machine doesn't have a screw to remove, but is held on with a rubber ring similarly to that of the Maytag Wringers. Is the agitator pictured in the ebay auction of the same design, or does it have the fastening screw? Or does that even matter? haha

Agitator in Auction This is not really the correct agitator but it will fit and work. I think this agitator is meant for the slightly newer Maytag "orbital" machines I think, thus the protruding vanes and extra humps on the base. For reference sake I have included a photo of the eBay ad mentioned.
I think it would probably work fine, but if you are really wanting the correct unit, this link is for the correct one. Note the smooth barrel and only 4 fins at the bottom. The 806 used a snap ring agitator, like a wringer, but the newer agitators used a set screw as does the one in the auction, but this will still work.

The link to the agitator that macboy91si has posted that is in Bowling Green, MO is not the right agitator. I had them send me close-up pics of the underneath side of the agitator and there is no place for the stop ring to pop into. If you look closely at the base of the column right before the skirt starts down you will see a set screw. They also sent me pictures of the set screw.
This is an agitator that came out of one of the very first orbital drive machines; before they redesigned the agitator. I know because I bought one from Sears around '92 or so. The orbital drive came in in the late 1980's, I think, so the washer they sold me must have be an older stock machine that had been setting around. When I first looked at the machine at the store it looked like the old long stroke machine. They brought it in to the basement and started to hook it up. I said leave it alone. I'll hook it up. That's all I need from you. I balanced it, read all the instructions, hooked it up and we put 5 pairs of jeans in it. We had 29-32 inch waists, so the machine wasn't over loaded. It started that fast frantic sound. I opened the lid and depressed the button. I had been deceived. This was not the Maytag I knew. The jeans wouldn't even turn over. I immediately called Sears and told them to come and get the damn thing and that it wasn't worth crap. I said a Maytag isn't supposed to act that way and I won't have it. Get it out NOW! It was gone the next day. I was so disappointed. I had just thrown out my solid tub Speed Queen from the mid to late '60's. I was so mad at myself. I wanted it back. I still do. Anyway, that's the agitator you're looking at. It doesn't work with the stop ring, so don't get it. Oh, I think that's what Tom just told you. Sorry. | ||

I'm confused "An agitator with the set screw can be substituted for those held in place by the O ring on the agitator shaft and the O ring does not have to be removed to use an agitator with the set screw." | ||

Thanks Jim, my room mate was ecstatic!
I was JUST watching your video on youtube Tim. I picked up a Turquoise "Super" Highlander Dryer today. Now the hunt for the matching washer begins... good luck huh? I can appreciate the simple design of the Highlanders. One question however, when the Highlander Dryer is turned on, and if the door is opened BEFORE the cycle is completed, and then closed again, it starts right back up again. How is the cycle stopped? | ||
