 Topic: Maytag wringer washer problem
Posted: 25 Dec 2018 at 5:30pm |
Got a new pair of overalls and since it was such a nice day I decided to use the shop washer to break them in. Near as I can tell the washer is a 1945 N2L. Filled with water and soap all good, put it the clothes an the dasher slowed way down but the motor didn't. The shaft coming up from the transmission is a 6 spline 3/4", the bushing that adapts to the dasher is metal on the inside that fits on the shaft and rubber on the outside, 16 spline by 1-3/8" OD. What happened is the metal is slipping inside the rubber part. Does anybody know of anyone fabricating parts for these or should I just go the Flex Seal Glue route? Metal part is somewhat free but doesn't want to come off the shaft and I don't want to force it.

Have you tried googling the parts digram and list for your model? Lotsa this stuff is available to those that restore them... Once you get a part number, you're halfway there...

You might try Shipshewana In area as it has a large Amish population with shops that repair maytag washers or any other area that has Amish as most use Maytag washers with gas motors. Maybe Yoder’s Hardware In Shipshewana.

You might try eReplacement Parts.com. They say they have millions of parts about anything except guns.(I think) Really good service. Leon

My previous research gave the model and approximate year but I haven't found any drawings for it. Drawings for others show the bushing but the splines aren't drawn so I'm not certain of the part number. I've found a couple of forums but not much information, Amish must be tight lipped on the subject. When I first brought it home Dave Maddux warned me about the wringer thing too, I'm thinking I need a better class of friends.

Naw JW, you're stuck with us...............and besides, we're the top of the class! If I remember correctly, my dad had a rag stuck on the shaft and pounded the dasher down on it. I don't know how long that lasted as mom wouldn't use it that way so it went to use cleaning parts and smelt in the spring. Try this JW..... http://www.davesrepair.com/pdfmanuals/mytN2partsman.htm

Well Ted, I cut three 1/2" wide strips from a postcard and placed them in the bushing hoping the water would slightly swell up and hold, lasted for about 10 minutes before it melted.
Didn't have time to make any calls today but I will try tomorrow. Thanks for all the info so far, I'll get into everything tomorrow.

You might be able to adapt one from a dependable care machine (next model, automatic washing machine) if you can't find one for a conventional. I might have one around here.
I could talk to a cousin of mine, he would know about parts availability. That's a good looking machine would be nice to keep her running.

Double posting is what happens when somebody from up Nort call complaining about the weather while you're typing. This was close, (#A4731-B), but wrong outside spline, has 12, I need 16, futher research showed this one is for the Blue agitator, mine is black. If I had a rotary table I could make one.

Clean both real good and apply a good amount of JB Weld and slap them together. Might last five minutes or five years?
