Getting into the washer... it had a very thin coat of dust and oily residue which wiped out almost instantly, this has to be one of the absolute cleanest sets I have ever come across. | ||

Wringer Style Agitator In MT High-Lander Washers It was not only common but in fact every HL had this agitator except the one or two fancier HL models.
The first MT Helical Drive washer model in 1956 [ model 123 ] had this agitator as did the majority of HL models, you can put the lint filter agitator in of corse but you lose a little capacity.

congratulations on your beautiful new babies. I like the look of your A103. It's like my A102 but with more buttons. Mine has a secret switch on the back that is for the replacement two speed motor we installed after the original went bad. I never liked the 500 series. | ||

Seems To Heat A Little Quicker Than My DE806 Is the 806 also connected to 120 volts ?
If so the older dryer will heat quicker if properly wired for 120 volt operation because the older dryer still had a 2 piece heating element and it gave more heat on 120 volts instead of the 1,200 watts that the later dryers gave when connected to to 120 volt power.

good news and bad news good news is that I got the ball hinges and glides, Bad news is that the injector part 206154 is NLA as of last year. I knew I should have ordered more than 2 when I had the chance! | ||

Reply #28 Good progress, You may want to save the original inlet valve, it can be rebuilt by replacing the rubber valve diaphragms.
This is about the earliest MT washer I have seen after MT started using the crappy Kingston timers, the timer motors in these fail just from time, if this washer would have had the Mallory timer it would have been just fine.
This was always the worst thing about MT was that they often used 2nd tier parts suppliers, if MT had not used Westinghouse motors, Kingston timers, Robertshaw water-level switches & inlet valves their machines would have been even more reliable, But I guess that they needed to keep the lonely repairman from being too lonely, LOL
Fortunately your machine got the very good GE motor.

Thank you ben! I could have saved a few bucks and rebuilt my other 3 valves for what I spent on the NOS valves, although it might have been worth getting the new valve only for the fact that id have a spare. | ||

Reply #30 Thanks Ben, these are the kits you need, the only problem we have had with this kits is the little metal plunger can rust and then allow the valve to stick open and flood, they are not as good as the original SS plungers, we had quite a few return calls and floods with these.
If you use these kits use the original SS plungers, who knows maybe they fixed the problem by now, if you want to use the new plungers make sure they are not magnetic.

All the parts that needed to be replaced have been replaced with no hassle and the A-103 is back in business once again. I have a strong feeling this thing was used for less than a year before being put away.

I would like to upload a full cycle on YouTube of all 3 maytags at some point as there are no vids on the 142C, the A-502 and the A-103. For the agitator to be so basic, it definitely moves some clothes and makes some nice turnover. It’s very impressive. | ||
