So I’m in the process of getting the old metal fan out of my Classic III and the new kevlar fan is on its way today. And I’m having trouble getting one screw out so I can get the front plate removed. It’s stripped so any other way to get it off easy? Thanks!

CrazyKirbyDude, thanks!

Hi everybody! So I have a question for anybody that knows a lot about Kirbys. What do I use to clean and shine up the rubber trims on Kirby vacuums to make them like new? Because I brought my Classic III back from the storage unit yesterday so I can finally replace the metal fan and install a...

Interesting and very unusual. What year?

I happen to saw this really bizarre looking vintage vacuum on eBay. What do y’all think?

I really love the Hoover Constellation! Great condition!

Looks nice! I have a green model from around the mid 90’s too. Got it from Salvation Army back in May.

I have a ‘91 Generation 3 and a Avalir shampooing kit and it works great like always!

I saved this webpage for a year and this is a new Kirby hose assembly that’s supposed to be for models 505 to 515. Do they really make new hoses for those models on partswarehouse.com? What do y’all think?

Lesinutah, SPAGHETTI?! PERMANENT MARKER?! ON THE G3?! Those people are trashy animals!!!!! It sounds great you gave that G3 some major TLC!

Lesinutah, the suds o gun is built for spray painting too!

So last week I happen to see this very cool looking and possibly a rare vacuum, this is the 75th anniversary Hoover Convertible model and I think they only made this around 1983 which is Hoover’s 75th anniversary year. I’ve never seen anything like this before at all since I started collecting...

TexasKirbyGuy, great news for everybody as well I got the old fan off with a big pair of pliers along with a pin shaped screwdriver and installed the new fan!! 😁

TexasKirbyGuy, I also put my hand on the fan and the hammer technique and didn’t work.

Pretty nice!! Kinda cool that Kirby vacuums are also haircuting kits!

TexasKirbyGuy, the gears on the back would that be the rear motor shaft? This my first time placing a new fan on a G series vacuum.

Well I got a brand new kevlar fan and I’m having a little hard time trying to get the old fan out, any other ideas? Thanks!

Thought I post some pics of the special features the Heritage II can do. On pic #2 I got a hose from a eBay auction.

The only attachments I find VERY interesting in that color is the spraying gun and hose attachment. How long is the hose? And seeing the rug renovator nozzle in maroon is unique as well. In the US the rug renovator nozzle is black with a maroon Kirby logo on the belt lifter. In the US, 1990 was...

Nice Fantom Thunder!!! Same age as me! I have a Thunder too, made in 1997.
