I was able to remove the half that was attached to the hoses, and found the check valve that appears to be the exactly the same (FSP 89888). I guess I need to remove the tub now to get to the other half. Is there anything I need to know to accomplish this? | ||

I gotten to here, but not sure how to remove agitator. Does the top piece with the K come off?

the scrubber cap (the part with the letter K) of the agitator screws off. Grab a hold of the trunk of the agitator and than unscrew the scrubber cap. The remainder of the agitator lifts off. | ||

Ok got the scrubber cap off. Should the agitator lift out now? I tried but no luck. Is this stud holding it in?

Model number suggests it's a 1965 model. So does the console style. | ||

Thanks all for the helpful info. I'm at this point now. Does removal require a special tool?

Ok I see a spanner tool does exist. I was able to fit a pipe wrench smoothly without hitting the tub, but ring nut is completely frozen. Soaking in PB blaster. I gotta remember the machine is 55 years old! | ||

Thanks. I was wondering if that might be the case. Videos I found show it coming off counter, but I don't think any of the machines were this old. If it is reverse threaded, it's a lot tighter now! Haha | ||

Yeah I figured that a tool is necessary, so I bought one on ebay. I'm assuming even after the nut is off, the tub isn't gonna want to just slide right out. Found a good video showing how to remove a stuck tub with the spanner tool and slide clamps. | ||

Spanner tool arrived today and got the lock nut off. Tried see-sawing basket out, but no luck. Also sprayed generous amounts of penetrating oil and tapped the sleeve of the basket with a rubber mallet. Any other tricks I can try? | ||

Got ya! What can I say, I'm a visual learner. Done this a couple times now for several minutes. Excited it would do the trick, but basket is still stuck. Just to be sure, might there be some sort of retaining clip I'm not seeing? | ||

Third time did the trick. Kinda had to jump up and down while rotating basket with the sides of my calves. Thanks all for the "How to" tutorial. | ||

Looks 
very similar to my 1960 Whirlpool, if you find a source for any parts, please let us know.
The Bleach should dispense at 4 minutes left in the wash agitation of most (maybe all) cycles. The softener should release exactly when the final deep rinse water starts entering the tub, as the tub slows down from spinning when the extraction is done. Whether or not you get both sides working, for any load where you won't bleach or won't soften, pour in 3/4 cup of warm water. It helps keep the rubber stopper in good shape, helps clean out a less-than=perfect dispenser design. Very nice washer, congrats! | ||
