    How do I get my Ohio vacuum impeller off?

    Hey guys, I recently picked up a 1920s Ohio vacuum cleaner, and I'm trying to get the impeller off so I can service the motor bearings and clean the commutator. Can anyone help me in removing the impeller? Thanks! Chris

    Making new wheels for early Hoovers?

    I am having a local machinist make new wheels in black Delron plastic for my Hoover 725. If I had a batch made, who would be interested in purchasing them? I know they'll fit my 541, 700, 725 and probably the other prewar Hoovers. Thanks!

    FS: Hoover 105 motor

    This is a Hoover 105 motor. It spins freely and runs fine. With a clean and repaint it would be eminently usable, or you could salvage it for a good armature, good brushes, and a very good blotter paper gasket. $10 + shipping Thanks!

    Hoover 700 motor disassembly?

    Hey guys, I was refurbishing my Hoover 700. I got the whole motor housing separated from the body and the impeller off the armature shaft. However, there's a plate behind the impeller held on my 4 screws. Are there any tricks for removing it? I'd also love to hear of any sources for replacement...

    What belt fits a Hoover 541? I just got my machine cleaned up and didn't realize that a Hoover 44783 is too short. Thanks!

    So what do these Hoover dusting tools belong to?

    I thought these tools were for the Hoover 700, 575 and 725 era of machines, but I've never seen the long panlike attachment. I guess it clips onto the brushroll opening. Can anyone tell me more about its use? Thanks...

    How loose were Hoover 700 wheels?

    Hey guys, I just dug out my Hoover 700 and noticed that the main wheels are kinda floppy on their shafts. Were they always this way or did the mounting holes enlarge with use and age? Thanks
