    Finally got a Heritage 84....but....

    No Holes, LOL This armature has no holes behind the cooling fan. So Im going to buy that tool I guess and then try again. I get a replacement armature and already have new brushes and a fan for it. The fan change went very smooth on the Legend II though. They must have sucked up a lot of...

    Finally got a Heritage 84....but....

    Could be.. Now I have to source a new label for that not saying 84 is bothering me. I still haven't been able to get the fan off the omega I am trying to build from the ground up.

    Finally got a Heritage 84....but....

    Suprise!!!!!! Underneath the bump strip is a white sticker with a serial number matching the serial number on the main motor, so I guess its original. So some got the label and others didn't Who would have thunk it Blaze

    Finally got a Heritage 84....but....

    I bought a Heritage 84 Kirby, but it doesn't say it on the nozzle, but has everything else saying it...so I assume it has had the nozzle changed out at some point

    Heritage series Kirbys---5 of them?

    Shake out with 13 So if it was a shake out, it had a 13 inch nozzle? or could they be mismatched? 13 inch nozzle and mini-emptor and vice versa?

    HERITAGE 84 I have seen a couple heritage 84's without the nozzle label, which means I guess they don't have the original nozzle. Thank you so much for the info

    Omega Fan will not give in

    I got a Omega that was sitting next to the trash. Its just the motor part. Im trying to replace the fan, but cannot get it off. I have ended up destroying the armature trying to get it off. Does the belt spindle come off separately on these or is it all one thing (fan and belt spindle)?
