I have been reading and re-reading all the posts and links familiarizing myself with what needs to get done, as well as, preparing to order parts.
One glitch surfaced. The spanner tool for removing the critical nut beginning the serious part of the repair is not available.
What to do?

Agitator is out, all in one piece. The rope, 2x4 & 4 inches of water did the trick after a few adjustments.
Let the fun begin.

The spanner [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.729412)][size=78%]AP4503397 [/size][/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.729412)][/size]per the web site is not compatible with model A612.[size=78%][/color]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.729412)][/color]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.729412)][/size]There is much scale at the bottom of the washing tub. Going to get rid of what I can. Then work on getting the nut off, probably with a dremel cutoff wheel.[size=78%][/color]

Is it perhaps compatible with the replacement nut?

Is there a part number for the upper shaft?
Should I be replacing belts, they are the originals?

Are you talking about the stem kit?

dab147315 · « **Reply #31 on:** September 16, 2013, 03:56:20 PM »

Are you just replacing stem kit?

hookcapn · « **Reply #32 on:** September 16, 2013, 04:48:58 PM »

This was mentioned by Bailey in reply #4

Bailey · « **Reply #33 on:** September 16, 2013, 05:49:42 PM »

The upper shaft is part #22002124. I would look at the shaft after you get the tubs off. If it is pitted where the shaft goes through the stem seal then replace it. You will need a new gasket when you separate the transmission. And if it was manufactured before June 1986 there is an O ring in the lower half that seals around the lower shaft. Post your serial number.

hookcapn · « **Reply #34 on:** September 17, 2013, 08:01:43 AM »

The serial number info of this unit is Model A612 series 02 S/N 028194.

theoldstoveguy · « **Reply #35 on:** September 17, 2013, 09:21:46 AM »

Need the last 2 letters on the serial number to know when it was made.

hookcapn · « **Reply #36 on:** September 19, 2013, 12:33:14 PM »

RC are the two letters.
