OK>>>What is the purpose of the screen that is sitting on top of the agitator? It doesn't look like there's any hole in the center of it for it to go under the agitator and act as a lint filter. Or am I missing something here? |

I believe it is a filter that goes under the agitator. You are just seeing the top of the agitator through the hole that should slid down the center post under the agitator. Jeff |

That is the lint filter for under the gyratator. My 1935 model 30 came with one, even though it doesn't have a pump. Not really necessary for a gravity drain, but sort of neat to have, nonetheless. It's made of much lighter metal than the later type used in the E/N/J with pumps.
I've attached some pics of mine ... note that the dark ring half way around the sediment trap is where I repaired the tub with JB Weld Steel-Stik. |
