My 1940s Maytag wringer washer. (Part 1)

[@BeingWolfy]

What is it about Crown bus guys and vintage washing machines? 😂🥰

The center shaft bushing with splines can be replaced.

[@OwnYourOwnBus101]

I bought a new center shaft bushing but I can’t seem to figure out how to get the old one out. I’ve looked online, been to Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Auto parts stores and my mechanic shop. So far, no luck. Do you have any suggestions?

[@garylee9738]

@@OwnYourOwnBus101 I heated it up with a heat gun and used a slide hammer to drive it out. Put the agitator in a large vice, wrapping it with rags to keep it from getting damaged from the vice. Then get up the old splines, then use a five pound slide hammer to knock it out.

I have a j2l model non-pump and I love my machine, it is such a timesaver.

[@kimknochel2730]

You could reference the serial number for the exact date of manufacture. I think it's newer than 1940.

[@OwnYourOwnBus101]

Where would I find that? I haven’t been able to find any numbers on this particular machine.

Great machine I love mine needs a lot of love tho watch my oil change video your agitator looks stripped. The wringer I will have to see what the problem is it could be the centering spring in the wringer Cap that's probably why it is not tightening down. Hope I can help. Tim

You should film the neptune on cotton/sturdy or the equivalent whites or normal cycle.
