Yikes
Good to know; thank you for the good info, Jimmy and Robert. Yes, the bolt broke off in the block, so it's going to be a big nugget of joy to work on. It may end up being scrap-food after all is told, and yes, that block has to come off. Unfortunately, we have no spare parts, so if this can't be accomplished, the machine is headed for the krusher... --Nate | ||

As if!
Puh-lease!!! Our determinations of krusher-food only come after endless bouts of tears and forehead-banging. The more I think about it, the more removing the shaft will work better, and yes, we can use a removal tool to get the broken bolt out. Thing is, the agitator shaft is seized because whatever-it-passes-through on the way to the transmission is corroded. I may have a hard time just removing the Allen bolts from the bottom and pulling up, so I was hoping to get at the part where shaft meets tub and attack it with copious amounts of WD-40. We'll see how it goes. --Nate | ||

Nate copious amounts of Go to your local auto parts botique and get some Fabulous "B'laster" PB Penetrating Catalyst; it works better than WD | ||

Hi Ross, saw your original post and just thought I would offer the mechanical advice. Wasnt sure who was doing the work. Maybe the washer can be used as a donor to fix other Speed Queen washer in the future. | ||

Nate, it sounds like you may be able to pull the top open on the washer, remove the thrust collar on the agitator shaft. Next, remove the four bolts at the bottom of the agitator shaft in the tub. You might have to work on it a bit to loosen it from the spin hub, but you can pull the tub and agitator shaft out together and then get the shaft out of the center post once it's out of the machine and you can get a little "whack action" on the end of the shaft. You be nice Toggle, these are highly technical terms ;-) | ||
