I’m not familiar with these machines at all, but it appears to be similar to the agitator on the older Maytag machines. If that’s the case, then there should be a small set screw towards the base on the side of the agitator. If that’s the case, then all you’d need to do is loosen the set screw a few turns and the agitator should pull off.

A warm welcome to Automatic Washer Nic, hope you get your Simpson washing machine sorted and its just grime build up rather than a new oil seal required.
I managed to pick up a later machine that was brought back over here when the family moved back to the UK having emigrated in the 60`s with Pilkingtons Glassworks. It was a fun machine to use, I had never seen a transmission like it with what Tom Turbomatic told me looked like a Whirlpool World Series washer mechanism. Morning Chris (Gizmo) where does this model I had fit into the line up then ? was it just the plastic inner & outer tub that had the agitator screwed onto the baseplate ? I do remember that removing nut as it was the first time I had to purchase a snap on tools long extension socket to remove the tall agitator. |
