I think the motors from Maytag washing machines are reversible. I think
they run it in one direction for the wash cycle, and in the other for
the spin cycle. No transmission. Might not be able to find a 1 hp motor
though. Worth checking out if all else fails. If this is wrong someone
will correct me.
