Gimme a 20 y/o Kenmore next time, eh?

I'm still running the Maytag washing machine I bought second-hand in
1981. I drilled and tapped the transmission for an oil filler and pump
in 90W gear oil to replace the oil that leaks out the bottom about
yearly, or when it gets noisy.

Maytag replacement drive belts slip enough to let the motor come up to
speed quickly . A standard, higher friction belt can burn out the
start winding.
