    I've seen post that list these models as c, 3c, 3c, etc. My machine has no model #, but the serial # is C185125. So, is this just a model C, and how old is this machine.

    Hoover 700 Special

    I started this project back near the end of the Summer. By posting this, maybe it will motivate me to get it finished. The 700 was rebuilt at the factory in July of 1940. Great machine with the double ball bearing motor. Need to finish the motor cap, brush, and powdercoat the handle. Some...

    Hoover Senior Side Outlet from 1910

    I have been wanting to create a thread about this machine since joining the forum. This machine was purchased from a family in central Ohio. The story goes that Mr. Hanner was a Hoover salesman, and took this machine in on trade. The family contacted my father back in the early 80's about this...

    Found out from my distributor that Kirby will discontinue the g4&5 bags as well as the g6&Ultimate G style. He claims that they will only have the G3 bags and the Style F Universal HEPA bags in the future for all late model machines.

    Hoover 300 with red trim.

    I know most 300's have the teal badge on top of the motor and the green band around the motor, with no badge on the chassis. This machine has no badge on the motor cap, a red band on the motor, and a badge on the chassis that is a little odd for Hoover. The serial #'s on 300's went from...

    Hoover E I G H T H U N D R E D

    I spelled out the model # because I think the Hoover 800 is one of the most elegant Hoover vacuums, next to the 925. I have had two of these unrestored for quite some time. This vacuum, I purchased about 10 years ago for $5. I sanded the base with a dual action sander with 120 grit to remove...

    armature rewinding

    Hello all, I have a premiere duplex model 53 that is all original. Only problem is that it has a bad armature. I doubt anyone would have an extra armature for one of these. Does anyone know of a good company that would rewind the armature? I got a quote out of Maine by a company called...

    Hoover 918 Time Capsule

    I found a 913 on our upper floor under a pile of my cousins's stuff to be recycled. I didn't even know it was there. I pulled it out, and it was pretty hit. The paint was peeling so bad, I decided to sandblast and respray the whole vac. I added NOS agitator holders and the front belt guard...
