    My birthday gift from me to me!

    Suckolux Thank you for the birthday wish! I love it, and love how it is styled after the Decade 80. The brush roll is very aggressive on it, combined with the Hoover famous air flow makes a really great deep cleaner. I noticed it finding more and more fine dust and grit in my carpets. It...

    Hoover Convertible sleeve bearing

    "Do not lunricate" No it says no where on there to not lubricate. The motor was running hot before I even touched the sleeve bearing with oil. Plus the sleeve bearing was beyond dry too. Go yo my YouTube channel TheVacuumGuy and listen to it in the first video compared to my latest video of it...

    Hoover Convertible bag

    Bearing housings Thank you for the help Anthony. Would 3-in-1 oil work for the zipper? it was stuck to begin with, i got it loose then pulled it back down to close the bag and pop, came right off. Sure it is the bearing housing and not the bearing itself? I will have to further inspect the BR...

    Hoover Convertible bag

    Wow, that is ironic. I might just go buy a grey generic outer bag and install it over the type C fill tube and use F&G bags since the new bag will have more than enough room to accommodate it. I am getting a CWP brush roll for it as well since, if your standing behind it then it is the left...

    Hoover Convertible bag

    Hey guys! I had the zipper slider pop off the track on my Hoover Convertible U4389 and have no expertise in zippers nor do I really care to mess with them. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to fix the zipper, or have any type A outer bags they are willing to part with that are blue, or white...

    Eureka replacement fans

    Metal base Plus the plastic fan should spin faster since it is not as heavy as the metal fan. It seems nice having an all metal Eureka!

    Eureka replacement fans

    Bottom bearing It can be replaced but you have to have a drill. If you dont feel like going through the process of changing a bearing then just do like you said and put a different motor in it. In my now 30 year old 2 speed sanitaire motor I had to replace the lower motor bearing, IT SCREAMED...

    Sanitaire Question?

    Grounding pin No, your Sanitaire should still work fine as it is neither a cold or hot wire. The ground wire is connected to the top bearing cap of the motor, hood and I think the handle yoke assy. It is responsible for protecting the user from electric shocks or worse, but it still can be ran...

    Eureka replacement fans

    Replacement parts If the original motor works, KEEP IT, though you could swap it. just keep the original motor safe. And yes the newer fan will work just fine!
