Oh yeah, came off in one piece, it was just really stuck, a bunch of corrosion on the shaft. It looks like it will clean up nicely though. I'll get some more pics later...... Watching the Bruins now. |

Not so pretty now..... Had to cut the drum nut off, not a big deal as I have everything I need for tools to do a job like this. Tank has a bit of corrosion especially where the top seal is but I'll get it cleaned up at least enough for another 20 years. |

Whoa.. that has to be one of the most corroded agitator shafts I've seen. No wonder a homemade crane was needed to remove the agitator |

Got the tub nut and associated hardware off, the set screw wasn't seized how about that. I did have cut and break the tub nut off though, wasn't so bad although everything seems to have a lot of corrosion...... No wonder the machine was growling at me....... |

A good look at the shaft..... Ugly. The bearing is also seized to the housing. I gotta get this apart and cleaned up... We'll see if it's salvageable.

Got the bearing off, same way as everything else... Had to cut it off. Looks like I'll be looking for for a transmission or at least a top half with the way this shaft looks, cleaned it a bit and it only looks worse. |

So... Anyone know where I can find a good used transmission? I told you all, Murphy lives at my house, you all have nothing to worry about.

I'm not real worried about the mess as I'm doing a complete rebuild but you are correct. I really wasn't expecting that much fluid in there either, talk about being over filled. |

Water in the trans oil would account for the overfilled condition. |

Still trying to find a transmission. After I cleaned up everything both sets of bearings for both shafts are pretty well used up. I'll post up some pics soon.... |
