I thought all chucks had this LH threaded screw, or am I wrong?

I've got a couple of old non reversing ones and they don't. If you think
of it, the chuck can't really come loose in use - it will tend to self
tighten. Could be modern drills all now use it to standardise things.

My Atlas Copco cordless doesn't, and it's not through engineering down to a
price or lack of torque.

Don't think that the mains AEG does either. however, as they're both the
same manufacturer, it could be a manufacturer-specific thing.

How is it locked to prevent the chuck unscrewing in reverse?

I obviously don't really remember that well then, my first drill that
I bought when I was at school was a cordless reversible!
I would have checked myself but all my drills are reversible, SDS, or
both.

Allen or phillips screw down in the bottom of the chuck, threaded into the
shaft. Open the chuck up full wide and you can peer down and see it.
Obviously you have to pull that first.

Well, that's the 'standard' we're talking about. Or are you saying it's
not a LH thread?

Hi!

If it's an old Maytag machine, you can simply block the transmission
underneath the drum to stop it from turning. I had to do this when I
replaced a tub seal in a 70s-something Maytag washer...

I suppose it might work for other machines as well where the transmission
seems to "ride around" the power shaft.

Hi William. I guess youre in America - the type of machines you have
in America have all but disappeared here. We use front loaders, the
clothes just dip into the water once per turn, and they use a fraction
of the amount of water and electricity. Very different to US top
loaders. There is no agitator. The power transmission is a belt, and
when the drum seizes the belt burns through.

Drum bearings

Job done, with thanks to folks here. I used 2 wooden jams, one against
the tub ridges, and one against the floor. It then behaved nicely. The
washing frenzy has begun!
