Just thought you might like to know there was a Kirby 520 at the Goodwill on 159th and Harlem.

I got stimulated and my Hoover 102 got converted. I finally got a converter for my Hoover 102 and 105.

Looking at the manual it has a 2681 number on it so it goes with a Hoover 105

Do NOT follow reply #2 directions. You don't need to take out every screw, rivet, switch, handle, etc. First off before you pull the motor apart take out the carbon brushes. Then the bearing bridge at the fan end should just unscrew. I think the bearing will just slide off the end of the...

Looking at the name plate on the front I'm guessing Apex model 57 or 58.

The manual looks to be a 102 or 105 manual. Your 541 is an early 541 since the brushroll has six sets of bristles on each side of the pulley. The later 541s had 5 sets of bristles on one side of the pulley and 7 sets of bristles on the other side of the pulley. The 6/6 is on the right and the...

You could go with a black corduroy. With Flash it looks gray but it is black. I made a bag for my 305 out of black corduroy.

You can clearly see the rubber bag clamp cover in the 2C manual that you can download from Kirby. I'm just thankful that the one on my 2C is still soft and pliable.

Are you planning on rebristling brushrolls and brush strips then NEVER servicing them again? If so then by all means flood those suckers with glue.

I'd go with the Gorilla Glue, it's real popular right now.

So? You get one and rebuild it yourself.

I'll throw in a few pictures of my Electrolux Model 30. Mine has the Bakelite support ring. I also have a spare motor for mine as well as extra motor filters. Picture 1 shows the Bakelite motor support ring Picture 2 shows the back end of mine Picture 3 shows the front end of mine Picture 4...

Uh when you cleaned and repacked the bearings did you notice that the front and rear bearings are the same? New Departure 8008 which is now a 87008 bearing.

The 1C and 2C both take ND 8008 which converts to an 87008 bearing.

The machine end is for a Model D series, if you have the machine end for a A, B or C Rexair then you can cut off the machine end on the hose and glue the Model B end in. Then it would look like this
