Vacuum devil In the professional setting I always use the genuine gaskets. They’re easy enough to install after some practice. But at home I just use that weather stripping. I can tear them down and not have to fight the gasket every time I want to clean them out. It could go either way...

Vacuum parts @detroitdirtbag Any vacuums parts you need, let me know. I work for Banks Vacuum and I’d love to help. Banksvac.com

Direct air power heads for central vacuums. Mikanik, a long long time ago they had a Eureka direct air vacuum set up as a power nozzle with a wand in place of a handle. I believe it was on an AirWay? If not someone correct me please.

Sanitaire SC886, no problems! I have never had a problem with belts on any of my Sanitaires! :)

Nice find Chase! That is a beautiful machine! You definatly struck allot of luck with that find! Congrats!

Outer bag I paid either $19.99 for the outer bag or $29.99 memory is a little foggy at the moment. Maybe the VG2 was $29.99. I will have to check the receipts later on today.

Stricklybojack Sorry for the year late reply. I performed the conversion on an Eureka 1432A. The filltube came off of my Kirby Ultamite G Diamond Edition. You slide the Kirby's filltube over the horn on the F&G outer bag and rolled the spring up to lock it in place. I have since had a Sanitaire...

TTI dealer Ok, thanks for the info! :)

Hoover dealer portal? Where do I find that? I have never heard of that! Could you post a link please!

Tolivac It is a durable vacuum. nice sturdy plastic and thick steel. I know it will last me a long time! I love it more every passing day! I am placing an order for 8 belts for the "industrial" hoovers tomorrow. Should last longer than the belts meant for the residential machines.

Tolivac Suggested retail is around $300 but still worth it IMO. I love the guardsman machines with a passion :)

DaveTranter That is cool! Maybe you could do some projects like replicating some of the old hoovers! like the hoover baby? Cant think of specific model #'s atm. long day, lol! but you listed some cool uses for it like cleaning up chewed up brushroll ends ect... Enjoy! Alex

Thank you gotthavehoove! I heard that john is helping design a new guardsman with a red hood. cant wait to see it!

Discontinued? gusherb, yes they have been discontinued. Mine was made may of 2010. I guess there is a bunch of left over stock. Cant complain though!
