Hello,
I have the opportunity to get this Maytag for $30, it doesn’t have the pitman transmission like I wanted but it is TOL (for Australia anyways), or should I wait longer until a lower end pitman transmission machine comes up? | ||

I’ve had the a9400 and loved it, it needed new belts so I got them, but a few months later the tub bearing
Completely failed, I’m not talking about leaking I mean the inner tub would wobble but the outer tub wouldn’t. More photos: | ||

For $30!?! Keep it, you can place a Pitman tranny in it and install new bearings. $30?!! | ||

Going to pick it up this weekend along with a A23CM Maytag.
I am going to get it, the seller is also selling a 60s whirlpool gas dryer but I already have 3 dryers so I don’t need anymore.
I will keep it stock as I like the orbital transmission, it’s just that they are really common. The Maytag A23CM I made a huge thread about it, it was the one where I needed the bearing kit. I think it’s just a stuck brake, I’ve never heard of a bearing completely locking up a tub before. All it needs is a new nut. I just need to sell my F&P cleansmart, got someone coming tomorrow to pick it up for $100 (really good deal, they usually go for $600 used just that mine has a few cosmetic issues nothing series at all just wanted a quick sale). | ||
