Maytag Wrench Question

I realize that some of the Maytag wrenches are harder to find than others. Can someone give me an idea of how hard #8 is to find? Thanks.

Here is a lost as to the rarity and value of Maytag wrenches this list was put together from Auction results of wrenches listed #1 Maytag Wrench(Common)$5.00-20.00, #2 Wrench (common)$6.00-22.00,#3 Wrench (less Common) $12.00-25.00,Number 4 Wrench (Rare) $125.00-$165.00,Nunber 5 Wrench (Rare) $145.00-235.00,Number 6 Wrench 5.00-$20.00,#7 Wrench (RARE) $150.00-$300.00, Number 8 (Rare) $75.00- 155.00. Be On the Look out for Altered number 7 this is same wrench as number 2 but has a Notch out of side of wrench which can be added to the number two wrench for a Imatation of a number seven wrench. My only advice is to look down in the notches to see if there are die marks where the two dies came together to stamp out the wrench there will be a ridge or line running horizontial. It took me 4 Years to find a correct number seven wrench. A complete set 8 Maytag wrenches is in the price range of $650.00-$800.00 The Number nine wrench which is sometimes reffered to is NOT a Maytag wrench it was supplied by a Bicycle company to fit the bolts on your wringer washer. The story goes Maytag stopped suppling wrenhes with washing machines and the dealer if they still wanted to give one away with washers where given a part number for the Bicycle wrench. These wrenches are not marked Maytag Nor Did Maytag have anything to do with these other then giving dealers a part number for ording wrenches. Story goes dealers ordered wrenches direct from Bicycle Wrench Company Not Maytag

Thanks for the info. Mine is slightly pitted, but apparently was a steal at $15.

Thanks for your help. I'll have to print this out and keep it for a reference. I lucked up on a #8 wrench at a swap meet yesterday. Still need #4, and #7.

Maybe we should be collecting Callahan wrenches as well? or even nuts and bolts off a Callahan engine? I wonder how many nuts and bolts are on a Callahan? I figure if we divide the price of engine in half for costs of casting and the rest for nuts and bolts, we should do pretty well!

I can just see glass dome cases with a red cushion at the next rally or show (as you call them) with a nut from a Callahan on the red velvet cushion. Naturally the dome would be on a stone carved pedistal with a loverly plarqe underneith and protected by lazers with a atmospheric controlled internal environment.

I just wish I knew where I could get a nut from!

Where can I find a pattern to print out of the different Maytag wrenches for identification? Dale

I've forgotten where I got mine years ago ( back before the days of the internet ). I imagine that one of Harry's advertisers could supply you with one. He has at least two advertisers who specialize in Maytag parts.
