    Rainbow roller brush

    Well, you could put a Vibragroomer I into a Eureka-made power nozzle from a D2 if that counts.

    Rainbow With Wesselwerk EBK340 Power Nozzle

    If I had a free EBK360 at my disposal, it would've been next on my list lol. I just didn't want to see this go to waste or sit around as a parts unit.

Celoc 1500/3500 Canister (One had a cord reel and one didn't) Bigfoot Upright (Did Oreck actually make this or not?)

    Davis That's the same handle used on the Dual Stack units. It was called, Helping Hand Version 2.

    Rainbow With Wesselwerk EBK340 Power Nozzle

    It's amazing what can be achieved with some boredom and spare parts that were laying around. I had this EBK340 from a Proteam backpack that had nowhere else to go except for the trash. Not wanting to throw it away, I had the idea to make a Rainbow pigtail fit in place of the original one. I...

    Old Kirby Wheel Replacement

    Those are the rear wheels for the 1CR, Classic Omega, and Classic III. They're slightly wider. As far as I know, you can still get tan wheels (132062) or green wheels (132067).

    HELP How does one replace bearings on a hoover 612 brush roll

    Not sure if this will work in a brushroll that predates the Convertible/Senior machines since I've never tried it. The old bearings used a felt washer along with a retaining clip. If you have any spare brushrolls with the revised bearing, you can test fit it before ordering the part.

    Old Kirby Wheel Replacement

    What wheels are you using in the rear? Pictures would help.

    Question about the bag to this heritage III

    That's the infamous aftermarket F&G Conversion that vac shops sold to many users who didn't want the mess of a shakeout. They use Eureka F&G bags, but I prefer using Hoover C bags since those outer bags were always too small to accomodate an F&G bag.

    Rebadges

    Sanitaire Quickboost, Titan T500, Aerus Lite, David D2000, Cleanmax Zoom, Tornado ULW, and I'm probably missing some. For a short period of time in 2007 (I believe), Hoover had a rebadged Supralite made for them. There's also the Simplicity Freedom, but that's one of Tacony's own brands. Same...

    What happened to the UK members?

    What ever happened to Simon? He had a nice collection of various Hoover Juniors and Seniors. His Vacuumland username was 74simon and his Youtube channel is Lswrsi.

    What Do These Motors Go To?

    Try walking into an Auto parts store and tell them you need a Chevy belt. You'll get pretty far with that response.

    Tacony Quicksilver/Omniclean bag substitute?

    I have an unopened package of 6 that I can sell you to hold you over. Wonder if Dirt Devil G bags from the hand vacs would work.

    That Junior Deluxe is absolutely stunning!

    (1999) Hoover Steam Vac Plus 1000 model F5875-900.

    Yea. They're great until the turbine motor to drive the spinscrub brushes fails. That part is no longer available for these units.

    RE:44572 Hoover Innovation bags

    Is it the soft bag or hardshell one?

    Kirby models 516-561 question

    My eyes might be deceiving me, but these look like screw-on caps to me. Whaddya know! This is the motor unit off a 518.

    Kirby models 516-561 question

    Can someone back me up here. The 516, 517, and 518 DO have brush caps even though there is a rear housing covering them up. I should know since I've rebuilt 5 of them. I'll see if I have one laying around to prove my point.
