Washer was frying belts, needed bearings and bushings

Replaced tub and agitator bearings, new belts, new felt pads. After initial test, tub would not spin. Found out I clamped down the top ring too low. My machine was so old, it predated any repair videos! You sent me the service manual, and I was able to find the issue and resolve it. Great site for DIYer's. Bought this Maytag new when we got married 29 years ago. She says if it goes, I go! Hahaha.
