Hey guys I’m just curious does anybody know the guy named Bob who modify that vintage Maytag washer and put a whirlpool surgulater in it? As I’m actually kinda curious what he did to make the two agitators fit together | ||

I did that a different way, I put an Easy Spiralator agitator in and also used a spare Whirlpool agitator shaft and cut it to the proper length to put a Super-Surgilator agitator in the Maytag. Then I attached it to the Maytag transmission spline by using a shaft connector...

Hi Robert, what exactly did you do to figure out how to cut the agitator shaft to the proper length? You had to make sure the space between the agitator and the bottom of the washtub was precise. | ||

Not exactly as you can move the shaft coupler up and down on the Maytag agitator drive splines before tightening the set screw. | ||

Well, when you first cut the shaft, how did you figure/estimate what length you be able to use? | ||

If I remember correctly...

I installed the shaft coupler on the spline and I put the new agitator in the tub and let it rest on the tub bottom. Next I took a rigid metal tape measure and fed the tape down the center of the agitator until the tape reached the top of the Maytag transmission splines. I measured from the top of the agitator to the top of the splines. | ||
