AND be sure you get the new belts from an appliance parts store and not from a hardware or auto parts place. Although the appear similar, the Maytag V-belts are made with a slightly different angle. Regular V-belts will give you problems, especially during the spin cycle.
My mom and dad had a Direct Drive Kenmore washer that they bought in 1987, it lasted until 2007. Dont tell me that the driect drive set up isnt as realiable as belt drive. Just dont freeking overload the machine and you will never have to touch the coupler.
I have a 1984 model just like this one. I recently had the belts replaced by maytag and they said keep this old one going as long as you can. Said the new ones arn't nothing like the old maytags!
put it up on wood blocks basement leaks and bottom is rusted.time now to replace my maytag a182 2 belts 1987 model.mine had 2 belts,2 springs,and 4 plastic guides? there are instructions inside,hope i have no hassle.got it at ebay 12.95 free shipping.nice price.just search maytag belt set.
Take that sucker apart and replace those old worn parts with new ones and clean up that rust and repaint her!, she will last another 20 yr's!

someone has to get off their ass and wipe the crap off the washer so the crap dont get on the clothes as their being taken out.
