 I'd say heat the nut with a torch - I've done that on just about the North American Whirlpool-built washers I've worked on (only the 65 Lady Kenmore didn't need a heat treatment). Heat the nut with a blowtorch and then try tapping with the wrench. It should give after that! A shot from my archives recalling the restoration of my 1966 Inglis Sterling washer.

This is what I’d try doing. The tub nut was never removed on my ‘63 Whirlpool so I thought it would take quite a bit of effort to remove. I messaged Paul and asked him what would work, he said rock the tub back and forth and use one of your feet to hold the tub while hitting the spanner wrench with a mallet and sure enough it worked. This is a photo in the archives of John Lefever rebuilding a 1956 RCA Whirlpool Imperial washer that Paul Chaks/turquoisedude now owns.
