Had some downtime and decided to pop a couple parts onto my 515 that I had in storage for a while. At some point in its life it had the original bag and belt lifter replaced with newer versions that have the more angular Kirby logo. I’ve left these alone ever since I picked this up as my first...

Howdy, everyone I picked up a Hoover Constellation along with its hose, box and some accessories. I also nabbed a caster set from a Filter Queen to make it mobile for larger rooms. Before purchasing it, I looked on eBay and Google, and I’ve got a question about the logos and branding on my...

Howdy, everyone I won a Hoover 115 off eBay, and I've been fixing it up so my nephew can use it when he visits (he loves vacuums, but he's still small and struggles with my big Kirbys). I've greased the motor and brush bearings, so it's pretty much all ready to go, but I've been having trouble...

Howdy, everyone I picked up this Kirby 515 8 years ago, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the bag on it is correct for this model. I've seen a few 515s on here and elsewhere, and I have yet to see one with this bag.
