Really, eBay special was screwed down with the lint filter mesh missing.
I always wanted to see how dismal this agitator worked and it looks like Kaboom with Bleach will remove this crud!

This was cleaned up in the dishwasher 3X before taken apart and the gunk was worse than the current photo!

When did Sears started screwing the lint filter to the base?

not sure of exact dates....but this was for a model that had a SelfClean filter....not that I found them all that effective compared to the belt drive versions...

the filter type your talking about would have had a screen under the top portion, and operate on the same basis as a Maytag powerfin agitator mounted filter..

ther have also been cases where the actual filter top portion would not snap back in place and hold the filter, so in a pinch, for get the filtering idea, and using a bolt and a large washer, screw them both in place securely....I have a D2000 I had to do that to, since I coul not locate a working top section

Didn't this occurred with the early DD gold color Agitator?
We don't run across those in years, so they were only produced in small numbers.

5 Vane DD Agitator

For full sized washers most of these were screwed together and did not contain a lint filter. the 24" Thin-Twins still use a smaller version of this agitator that has 4 vanes that has the pull-off upper barrel which contains a fairly effective lint filter. The filter screen is what holds the two sections together, sometimes if the screen part gets broken we would just screw the two parts together with two SS screws, WP thoughtfully left two sets of holes for this purpose.

Larry your agitator will clean-up easily as PP plastic is easy to clean, although the DW may not be a very good way to remove mineral deposits, as it could take a 100 washings or more to do so in a DW.

Is it possible to turn this into a dual action agitator?
