The part that saved the day!
After conversing with a lovely parts lady, it was determined that the washer was so old that the model numbers did not even exist in the system. However, being just as smart as she was lovely, a part that is most commonly used in the majority of the washers that Maytag manufactures was selected. Not only was it the right part, it bolted up perfectly and works like a champ. It goes without saying that my 85 year old mother is very happy and no longer has to beat her laundry on a rock down by the creek. And I, being the cheap skate that I am, did not have to buy her a new washer. In addition to being a hero, I can also afford to buy beer thanks to the part's low price. Thanks for your help.
