    It is rear/bottom bearing felt washer That's a felt washer for a Ametek lamb motor I believe. It goes on the bearing clip thing for the lower bearing.

    My 541 came today!!! And its not damaged . Check it out!

    Those 300 attachments wont work. Wrong adapter. ill show you a set of the correct ones. I don't think there for sale at a moderate price though. I really have problems getting attachments. The correct ones come in a hoover box that's a beige color. The attachments go on to the bottom.

    My 541 came today!!! And its not damaged . Check it out!

    Would suggest... Dump more than 3 drops of oil in the top. Clean commutator. Scrape lead paint chips out of the cap. OIL the bottom bearing since that old wick that was meant to oil the bottom is probably caked in dirt and not going to move the oil. Clean it well. You should not need to spin...

    Sad day with my first vintage vacuum hoover 300 that arrived DAMAGED

    DONT REPLACE THE MOTOR That part is really easy to get and replace! its part of the pulley, its reverse threaded onto the armature shaft. Just take the pulley off the 700 motor or I can sell ya one.

    Sad day with my first vintage vacuum hoover 300 that arrived DAMAGED

    Dont ever buy a hoover that looks like basement oxidization. This is a beautiful hoover, but it was left in someone's wet basement and looks to have been heavily used. I use machines like that purely for wheels, motor parts, and handle parts. When you buy an old hoover, make sure its aluminum...

    Is The New Kirby Multi Surface Shampoo system worth buying?

    Whats its difference from the rug renovator? You might as well just buy a rug renovator. U can use them on practically anything. that price is outrageous. I could buy 3 full Kirbys were I live for 100-150 bucks. I think maybe wait on it so the price get decreased. After its like a year or two...
