Hot Rod Maytag

Ever wondered what a Hot Rodded washer would wash like?

Well here we go! A 1962 Maytag A700S, fitted with the guts of a 1971 Big Tub Maytag A806, along with a 50hz pulley and belt set-up. Watch and be amazed - and look for the surprise winning combination at the end!

(I bare no responsibility if you cause damage or break your washing machine performing a similar task. After all - when you Hot Rod something, expect something to break!)

did that thing really have a light in it?

[swestoyz]

@wentsurfing - Yep, sure did. Top-of-the-Line Maytag washers had lights for the wash tubs up until around the mid 70's.

Where did you get the pulley?

[swestoyz]

My local parts supplier was able to find one in their stock.

@swestoyz Awesome machine. My mom had one. It didn't have the light. I'm sure my dad said "no" to the lighted model.

Now id consider putting fatter pulleys on the motor, and smaller pulleys on the drive pulley, see how that plays out!
