Office Machine Cleaner I almost forgot about this vacuum. The name says it all. It was sold as a vacuum to service copiers and fax machines, etc. The bag was a super high filtration, yet disposable bag for handling toner in a business environment. 3m had a machine with the same market that...

Early attachment The tool is similar to a tool from my Hoover Senior tool set, although has a different shape. The tool you have looks to be from a sand cast method. Look how rough it is on the inside like it has a sand texture, and the tools are really heavy and thick walled. I would guess...

150 brush strips The brush strips on the original brush are straight. There is a flat spring under each brush strip. On the end of each brush strip, there is an indentation, which you could put a flat blade screwdriver in and push down and push the brush strip toward the pulley or the end cap...

bag machine I have the standard Hoover bag machine that is in use every week at our store. I also have a long tube, that I think was designed and manufactured by my grandfather and friend. It is 13 or 14 inches longer than the Hoover tube. It also does not look like it will even fit in the...

Decade 80 cord Be sure to get a cord that is made for the flat handle of your decade. Most cords listed for a Hoover convertible will be for the round handle. The protector that goes into the handle is different between the two.

no attachments But I think I found the a filter cover for your Kenmore upright.

yes it will.

I do have the brand new housings available still. They would run $15 shipped to WA.

Sanitaire bearings The lower bearing (fan end) is likely the one causing the noise. You would remove the belt pulley and fan. Remove the two carbon brush screws to disconnect the lead wires. There are two nuts on the top with lockwashers under them. Once they are taken off the motor top will...

The bearing is a sealed bearing held into the bakelite housing with three rivets going through a metal plate under the bearing. If the bearing is smooth, I would not worry about it. You can remove the rubber shield from the bearing by using a very small and very thin flat blade screwdriver...

spacer parts sent, don't worry about postage, let me know how it works.

509 restoration nice job, was most interested in the buffing process. Not much on that in the videos. Trying to keep your trade secrets? Just wondered what compound you use to get that final buff. Also if you change wheels. Sisal wheel ending with spiral sewn. Compounds= black emory to...

riccar- kenmore- panasonic Good call, Definitely a whirlpool machine, or even a later Panasonic. 3 wire hose that had the rocker switch with 6 terminals. When switched to floor, it would send power back to the canister and power on a relay to turn on the vac motor. must be early riccar to be...

spacer Dax, email me your address and I will mail it out tomorrow. The screw you need is the Phillips head that holds the L shape retainer, that holds in the carbon brush, I believe. I can blow up the picture from the TTI website, hard to tell on your post in the super market section. - Kurt.

fan spacer Bikerray is correct, some portapowers had the dial motor with the 3rd fan on the commutator end. They were the models, 404, 409, s1015, and s1029. The spacer you need is part # 012013. It was only used on those 4 models of portapower and the slimline and suitcase portable type...

wood or felt In a Hooover list of first,, they list an oiless wood bearing introduced in I believe 1910. I showed my brother this post and he proceeded to take the above brush apart. He then grabbed the bearing, which could be considered a sleeve, and pinched it and it compressed and sprung...

wood is good Just got an original Hoover 105 free from my cousin. So I decided to take the brush apart and see. Yep, wood. The shaft diameter is also larger than the shaft for the ball bearing. I think many of the wood bearings were replaced, because my grandfather's Hoover manual show ball...

pancake with powerdrive The Eureka 5071E used the pancake motor that had a nylon gear running under the armature, that in turn ran a cogged belt to their self propell system. Agreed with those above, that the Kirby system, with the rug renovator, etc. does not lend itself to the pancake design.

DS50 I took one in for repair this week. Still used as a daily driver since the day it was born.

The 679 has a shorter cord, 5 amp motor, wooden brushroll, It has the thin furniture guard, the rear wheels are not mounted outboard like on the 886. The old motors had two field bolts coming up from the bottom, with nuts on the top motor housing holding it all together. The old machine had a...
