1974 Maytag HA806 agitate & spin

This is a 1974 Maytag HA806 washer after a total rebuild demonstrating a wash and spin. This model has a bleach injection system and a 'pulse' advance timer which is that little 'scritch' noise that can be heard at regular intervals.

That’s a Maytag ! When they where built like a tank & ran like a Swiss watch ! These so called modern ones don’t hold a candle. To these old school machines. Great find ! Hold on to it !

Helical drive Maytag= super dependable. One of my favorite old washers. Nice find!

[@Dafanmon2500]

One of my favorite kinds of vintage washers would have to be a Maytag! I love the noise they make

[@petermaz701]

This was the best rated washer of its time. Just does it’s job nice and smooth. Built to last.

[@Organgrinder1010]

There is something authoritative about the sweep and tempo of Maytag's agitation that I like. Effective, but not harsh on the clothes.

Now THAT'S A MAYTAG!!!

Nunca voy a entender por qué amo ver estos videos 😂

If I was to get a Maytag A series, I'd want one with console light like this one.

That's if you have anything besides strings left after the Shredmore gets a hold of it.

Thanks for commenting. I'll claim error of excitement. It is actually a 74 but It was late and I should have double checked the dates. It has been corrected. Thank you!

[@RedCarpetDrew]

Thank you for commenting. Sorry it took a little while to respond. The water level is how it came. The current owner is actually happy with it but I usually dislike having the level too high as it can cause the machine to eat clothing during spin out.

[@RedCarpetDrew]

Thanks for commenting. Yes, that's correct. The washer was 'rescued' with the lid missing. The lid was from a donor.

Is it me or does the spin rpm seem incredibly fast ?

[@keiranb3021]

It's wobbling so much.

dis is my old account ^^^^^

[@themaytagrepairman]

Nice machine. I've never seen a Maytag with a round motor before. Is that a Maytag motor?

[@UrOpinionsSucc]

I think it's one of the 1st gen maytag motors.

[@scrubflex]

How did you get the water level so high and why did you use so much water?

[@ssnoc]

Any suggestions where I can find one to buy?

[@pimpingmrli]

About how much does it cost to get one of these restored? I think there's some guys that do this sort of thing in Texas and across the midwest. I have a Maytag from this era...but it's the one speed motor with the intermittent Delicate cycle.
Does this one have the filter flo and the light inside the basket and all that fancy stuff? I

[@lexmarks567]

im confused your title says 74 your tags say 74 but your description says 79.

[@albertodovvaly]

Focus the transmission -.-

[@markhannan5410]

That sounds like a low speed spin to me
