A domestic clothes washer has an agitator in a nested pair of tubs. The inner tub is rotatable and the outer tub is generally fixed against rotation and adapted to contain water. The outer tub includes a bottom bulkhead having brackets thereon for supporting an agitating and spinning drive mechanism therebelow. The bulkhead also has a central boss forming a pocket for directly mounting a water seal and a guide surface for centering the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is substantially preassembled and properly oriented with respect to the clothes washer when it is attached to the brackets on the bulkhead. The portion of the mechanism for driving the inner tub and the agitator extends through the bulkhead in water-sealed relationship with the central boss by virtue of the water seal in the pocket.
