A rebuilding of previous threads, "From the Cellar to the 19th Floor: The Maytag's New Home P1" and "1972 A806 and a DE806 Rescued. Part Two." The washer and dryer threads have been separated. From Red Lion, PA. to Brooklyn, NY. A 1972 Maytag A806 and From Red Lion, PA. to Brooklyn, NY. A 1972 Maytag DE806 respectively. Once again, many thanks to our webmaster Robert for his assistance. | ||

Finally, my dream set!
The Maytag's were in the basement of an old Victorian house in Red Lion, PA. The house had been closed up for decades and was dilapidated. The guy who had just bought it believes the machines had not been touched since the house was closed up. After a complete going through, these will ultimately become my daily drivers.

I so wish we were doing the rebuild at my house....
I have seen plenty of postings and vids of doing a bearing/seal on one of these.....but never in person! for the year, might not be a bad idea to install a new pump as well.... that backwards thread can throw you for a minute....you have to keep reminding yourself which way to turn it.... keep us posted | ||

Orbital transmission.
While not the same, there are similarities with the Pitman.

Maytag Transmissions Hi Louis, The advantages and differences between these two different transmissions that MT used in their helical drive washers has been discussed at great length on this site.
Both designs are completely interchangeable so from above the outer tub they are the same.
The conscience of people on this site [ that have both designs SXS ] is the orbital transmission equipped washers [ especially ] with the load sensor agitator works better at turning over large loads and less clothing damage-wear etc.
