Maypool? Whirltag? Maytag management made some bad decisions that ended the company. It was a 1-2 punch the new Neptune front loaders they came out with were trouble some and had a wax motor tat had a pretty high failure rate that would then trash a circuit board. When they were running they tended to hold some water in the tub and would get a musty smell that was;t very appealing to the average house wife. The second punch was they bought Amana Appliance with a lot of debt and didn't do the best job of integrating Amana appliances into there line up, often tagging lower quality Amana designs as Maytag further diminishing their reputation. Whirlpool ended up buying/absorbing Maytag, but in doing so got rid of most of the Maytag engineering staff and have made Maytag washers a Whirlpool washer with a Maytag name and I think they have kept the Whirlpool name as the premium product and are using Maytag as a lower priced product. One of the Air Force detachments I was stationed at had all Whirlpool Laundry equipment, they got the living snot worked out of them and don't remember to many problems in the year I was stationed there, but I still have problems with a company not smart enough to get the heck out of Michigan and some of the management decisions they have made over the years kind of make me wonder. Once our Whirltag washer and dryer die we'll probably head the Speed Queen route.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
