    The Eureka Patriot -- A Work in Progress

    Nice work! That looks like new. What model number and what year is it from? I have a 1458A from 1978 that came with a metal handle and a 3.5 Amp blender motor. It looks about the same except the bumper and mine came with a blue flower print bag. Here is a before picture and the link shows it...

    Advance (Eureka) questions

    Here she is ready for business. New bag, new fan, larger motor, this thing is a beast. When I first ran it it pulled the carpet up so much it would stall the brushroll. I swaped in a used Covertible belt that was pretty stretched and now it works awesome! You can see how well it grooms the...

    Advance (Eureka) questions

    I just got this Advance and found out the fan is trashed. Does this take a regular Eureka upright fan? How hard is it to change? Is there a way to use the household outer bags with the two hole mounting? There are no holes in the base. I don't want to use this bag it has a huge hole in the...
