I'm sure that your belts are very glazed. Replacing them would likely help. Also, did you know that there is a lint filter located inside your agitator? If not I bet it's very dirty conciding your washer is about as old as I am. You have a beautiful machine I hope you can get working to your satisfaction. It would be well worth the money to call a pro if needed. If you end up needing a part you'll want to hurry. They're stating to discontinue parts like crazy for old Maytags, and it's a shame. I have worked hard through the years to convince customers to hang on to those washers.

I would move the motor on it's rollers to make sure it moves freely, if not, clean/ lubricate the rollers. If there are burn marks on the belt, do the following.
Tip the washer back, turn the tranny pulley till it starts to spin. If difficult to turn, you might have spin bushing going bad, or something in the tub. Post results.
