Well, the job is complete and I am trying to add an attachment here, but am more comfortable with machines than computers! Think I have done it . . . James

Congratulations. Keep us updated with its progress. Keep an eye out for oil leaks around the gearcase cap.

hello guys my first post I have an old Maytag, 2 belt system, big bell tranny in the middle, got this used before Christmas, had to put a belt on it after a few uses, the machine is in the basment. Kinda cool just the boiler down there I have a pellet stove up stairs as my prime heat, today did a load could smell a burnt smell, did the next load no adgitation , but bailed the water out,then it would spin, put the machine on it back checked the tranny pulley C. W.--- spin cycle. But C.C.W. No go. Then. I drained the tranny to see if any thing was broken. Nothing that I could. See. BUT. The fluid was as thick as molasses then the pulley. Would turn. Both ways. C . W. &. C.C.W. Could it be the fluid, and/ OR The machine being in the basement kinda cool. Anybody ever here of this. Great. Site. Wade. From. P.e.i:confused:

You don't say what your model number is - it sound as if your machine is similar to my 1979 model A208 . . . I am thinking that the two belts you refer to are one for the transmission and the second for the water pump ?
If that is so, it sounds as if you may have the same problem as I did 4-5 years ago, which is fairly fully described in the pdf attached to my post of Sept.12th, 2010 just above here (on page 1). Which was, that the brake unit located below the transmission, which prevents the complete gear-case from revolving as a unit with the basket in the spin cycle (hence the balance weights), was completely ineffective on account of the fact that the lining was saturated in old lubricant, had disintegrated, and was no longer bonded to the fixed backplate.
I was surprised to realise that the lining material was cork - until I remembered that my first motorcycle had, or so I understood, an oil filled, cork lined clutch; Maytag maybe realised that some oil was likely to find it's way in! Rather than replacing with a new, unserviceable, unit I relined the old one and it is working happily 5 years on!
