 help hopefull

Help please!  I had read previous posts on here about how insanely difficult it is to get the electromagnet out of the agitator housing.  I read that it is pressed in and pinned but cannot find the pin-points.  Can anyone help me or tell me where they would be? Or anyone have a spare working agitator lying around?  I cannot afford a brand new one and would rather keep the machine all original parts.  This is the only thing keeping me from using it.  Thank you !

It's "Peened" not "pinned"  it's like setting a rivet. the center axle is peened over around the outer circumference of the stator cores support shaft, it must be ground off with a small hand grinder ( like a Dremel tool)

Question is, what are you planning to do once you remove the stator coil from the upper housing?

Thank you for the info.  I plan on replacing the cord, putting it back together and using my machine.  It is completely stock except for the glass, paint and light bulb.  The gaskets are even original and in great shape.  So I want to keep this thing how it is and the only thing preventing me from enjoying it is the agitator.

So I pretty much take off the"lip"of the center holding the stator.  Is it the very edge or the whole side I need to grind off?   Thanks very much.

Got the center brass part off but it still won't budge. What is the trick?  I am trying both sides and nothing is moving. Sad I even tried heat but no effect.

Like I said in earlier discussions, they weren't really meant to disassembled again, it's an interference/press-fit originally put together on a press, so it is a very snug fit onto to hub of the shaft. still don't know why you are tearing it apart to begin with?    oops

The cord broke right at the agitator housing and I need to replace it without spending a lot of money. Unless you know of an easier way to replace the power cord?

Have to agree!
Is there no replacement for this motor? I don't own a water bath machine, so I've never researched them.
I have replaced fan motors on most of my air cooled machines. I'd be shocked if any of my friends (or even my wife) could tell if it was original to the machine or not.
How much is my (or your) time worth? That is the way I look at things now. I understand the money crunch and all, but I can usually think of 5-10 things I need to do that I am more efficient at! Spend the money, get some other things done and enjoy a Coke from the working cooler as a reward!

My six cents!

        I agree it is a lot of effort applied to a motor that may not work even with the new power cord.
        Being located inside that wet box is pretty hard on any electrical component.
   
        But since you have come this far you might as well continue the callenge.
 If you have access to an automotive wheel puller, you might try to mount it to the motor casing somehow.
