    HOOVER SPECIALS

    My just received Hoover 61 and parts not need of Hoover 300 Hello All, I really did not want to buy the Hoover 61 but it looked to be in reasonably good condition and from the picture I could tell it had the Handisac outer bag but was not mentioned that it did have. As it turned out it had the...

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    I have to agree with Hoover61 about the hood Hello All and Hoover61, I would have to agree with you about Hoover using the newer Hoover 61 Hood on a Hoover 60 Special as who would want it with a scratch hood. That would not have been so good. Wondering what Hoover would have done if there were...

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    Could the date of 1950 be wrong? Hello All and Jae, I just re-read Thread Number 29565 and Hooverboy81 indicates he has a Hoover 825 Special that was rebuilt in 1951. If you read this Thread all the way to the end it does seem Hoover was rebuilding vacuums much longer than the 1950 date and...

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    100 percent correct Jae, it was a 60 Hello All and Jae, You are correct Jae, what I saw was the 60. (See Thread Number 29565) I just don't see a problem with either a 28 or a 60 being traded in for a newer model or in need of repair. The 60 pictured seems to have been turned into a 61 as it...

    HOOVER SPECIALS

    Well it is the early metal hood model Hello All and Hoover61, Oh, I’m going to anger some I guess, but I am old so it is a bit more acceptable possibly. It is the early Hoover 28 with a Serial Number of 2829178 with the metal hood and as you say this idiot might have decided to trade it in on...

    *11* NIB 1975 Bison Mark I vacuum cleaners for sale

    My Bison Mark II and Thread Number 25205 Hello All, I have the Mark II Bison and while it has a massive amount of power it is a deafening experience to use.

    Did I turn into a Montgomery Ward Junkie?

    Hello Frank, Chad, Reggie and All, I have a Singer Model H-4 and the Royal Junior Model 81 hand held vacuums and now this little MW/Apex which seems to have more suction power than the others. It also is well made but in that era most things were well made. The split casting is interesting and I...

    Did I turn into a Montgomery Ward Junkie?

    Hello All, Well I could not pass this little Montgomery Ward hand held vacuum up. I don't think I have seen one like it before. It runs great and really has a lot of power. The bag is in good shape. I think it is older than the Montgomery Ward/Eureka upright I got a week ago. I don't have a clue...

    Hoover Model 700 Owners - Help Needed

    Hello Huskyvacs and All, I have 2 of the small screw one is really good and the other is not as good. Don't let the screw that you have on the locking side bottom out in the groove as that can make it drag. The screw points need to be in the groove so the bail/yoke/fork will not come off but...

    Questions about my "new" Electrolux Model G

    Hello All, Regarding the Tan G I see that some had brown wheels and some had white wheels. Was there any particular reason for the white or brown wheels or for that matter even the Tan G? When I worked at the shop I only remember repairing and painting the Aqua G and I have no memory of ever...

    Hello All, I have Tan G that has had the PN connector removed from the bottom and installed on top. I don't know why a shop would do it but they did.
