hmm We'd need better pictures to see if it's suds saver or not, they are rare. The buttons on the very left would need to be five buttons for it to be a suds model. Also, look at the drainage setup in the pic, it looks like a standard standpipe hidden in the wall, no tub for saving the suds in. Sorry. Depending on how electrical you are, there is a surefire way to cheat the machine and save the suds, but it's a bit involved, but it has been done.
I have heard that Maytags should be transported standing up, but tons of machines have been moved on their side, you lose a bit of oil. How long a distance?
If you are interested in a poor man's suds saver conversion, wait until it's home and set up, I can advise. | ||

Kenny, can you or someone else explain to me why a Maytag shouldn't be left on its side for more then a few hours? I've left an older Maytag on its side for weeks which I have actually found to be beneficial for the lubrication of the upper bearing in the transmission in an older machine where the oil has become stiff. Three years and hundreds of loads of laundry later that 1967 machine is still going strong.

May Be Just As Well....
That these fell through.
The reason is that non-shaded Avocado. Unless you're cool with varied colors for your major appliances (some of us are, some aren't), that's a fairly uncommon variation that would be hard to match exactly with other appliances. Manufacturers were trying for an "updated" look and a little cost savings when they stopped making shaded colors; they tried to make everyone believe that these unshaded appliances "matched" previously-manufactured shaded ones. The problem was, when you put a new unshaded appliance next to a shaded one, the difference JUMPED out at you. It's also getting hard to find certain Avocado majors. Ranges aren't too bad, and there are still some dishwashers out there. But refrigerators in the color are not easy to come by; the newest ones are more than thirty years old. A806 pairs are still not that hard to find; you will run across some without too much difficulty. | ||
