408 tub braces were corroding/rusted up. Okay that explains it. Probably a member here might have an extra set or find another large capacity donor machine, they were mostly unchanged for decades. | ||

tub brace # Looks like I will be shopping for part # 213053. Times 3. As all I need are the brackets. That should be simple to ship/mail. | ||

 "I pulled up the Maytag parts diagrams I had handy, and the A308 lists these as part #213053, whereas the A408, which I had assumed to be identical, lists them as #313053."
That's odd. A part number beginning with three should be for a dryer, not a washer, unless the part first appeared on a dryer at some point. That's not possible for a tub brace. I wonder if it's just a misprint, since only the first number changed? | ||

Make sure you've got the tub bolts in the correct position, short bolt goes in front. | ||

I did Yes new lower seal went in. The base, from the 106 is shown/transplanted. Repainted but 100% rust-free. Just had paint chippin' off. The base off the 408 was way too rusty for my likin'... that got thrown out too !! | ||

spin tube was/still is frozen/rusted tight I'm confused. Did you put the machine back together with tub bearing sleeve still seized on the transmission? | ||

The photo in the post a few up seems to show the sleeve removed, but are there two different transmissions being intermixed here? Are transmission parts being combined from the two machines?
As long as it's in good shape, and of a good dimensional match for the new outer piece, I'm not sure that it's necessarily a problem if the spin tube is stuck to the upper transmission case? (It's not supposed to spin against the case anyway...) | ||

Great Progress Some brake assemblies just like to make a little err as they come to a final stop, glad you found a good one.
My Frigidaire Uni-Matic has always done this, but nothing wrong with going for perfection, however I place more value on performance and luxury in vintage appliances and automobiles.
