Perfect!! Sounds great!! Thank you!!

Wow!! What a beauty this thing is, I had no idea it would be this clean. Purrs like a kitten too. It was in a downstairs part of the house and it apparently did not see much use. The bag is even perfect on it. And yes, it is the mysterious U4017. Thanks John Gregory. Now if I could just...

Probably a dumb question but the answer escapes me, the two-position height adjustment on the old Hoover convertibles involved a springy rear axle that you push down on to lock in the adjustment. The three and four position adjustments don’t have that, just a ratchet type wheel that adjusts the...

Thank you. I thought about that, but the hood, bumper and handle grip are all exactly the same gray color.

Can anyone tell me what model this is? Some kind of weird slate gray color. Thanks.
