    Hoover WindTunnel Model 5491-900 w/DirtFinder Indicator

    Hey Guys! I am baffled! I have the above mentioned model Hoover WindTunnel Model 5491-900. They're all the same basically just with plus or minus features. This one is kind of sharp since it has the "chrome" plate on the front nozzle. It's ice blue and does not have the power-drive feature...

    Promising Aluminum Cleaner

    Hey there guys. I just thought I would share this with you. This is an aluminum wheel cleaner for cars made by black magic. I applied it to a Bounty paper towel and smeared it on the aluminum areas of some of my Kirby's. I let it sit for a few minutes and then just wipe it off with a clean paper...

    Kirby Heritage-Orange Bag

    Hey Guys! I have a Kirby Heritage 84 (orange bag) model with the "Duckcloth" fill tube. The problem is the adaptor where the bag attaches sits to the left. The seams on the fill tube are left to right and appear to sit correctly in the outer bag. It doesn't appear that the fill tube was ever...

    Hey Guys! I have a later model 801 Metal Royal Upright with a 4.5 amp motor. Very gently used and in perfect condition. Question is why does the belt hang about 1/8 to 1/16 over the spindle? I did replace the brush roll with a double row brush roll (square end) and I used belt number...

    Bissell ProLite model 3561-2

    Hey guys! I have a Bissell ProLite (3561-2) that baffles me. Something is very odd with mine at the top of the bag. It appears there should be something along with the screw anchoring the bag to the handle but I am not sure. When I got this machine, I believe this small 1-inch black plastic...

    Vintage Hose Ends Removal

    Is there an easy way to remove vintage hose ends from the hose blank? I have an Air-Way model Mark II with the saran hose. The hose looks great but has low suction to say the least. Sorry guys, I see no reason to keep a bad hose for display purposes only and I am not interested in repairing it...

    Blondie Best Song Of All Time

    Hey guys! Several months ago--maybe a year ago--someone posted a comment on here about their favorite song of all time. I played it and liked it a lot. Now, I can't find it! I thought it was a song by Blondie and it was really upbeat. Do you know who you are or does anyone remember the song...

    Kirby G5 Handle Question

    Hey Guys! Picked up a Kirby G5 the other day for $20. It's an 8.5 out of 10-just needs a good cleaning. I don't have a G5 in my collection that is all cleaned and shiny though I have several of them waiting in the wings. My question is this: Did Kirby change the screw for the handle back...

    Kirby Heritage -Orange Bag

    Hi Guys! Can one of you other Kirby gurus tell me what the setup is for the Kirby Heritage with cloth dump style bag? I recently found one in decent shape but the bag was just hanging because there was no hanger, top piece, or "hook" from which to hang. A picture would be good if you have one...
