I bought this Kirby Tradition about two years ago and I'm just now getting around to restore it. I noticed several aspects that are normal to a stock Tradition that I have seen in pictures. 1. The fan cover doesn't have a serial number embossed. 2. The power nozzle doesn't have a adjustment...

When I decided to rebuild a used G6 I took off the nozzle lever and screw. Now moving forward with the assembly and it looks like I stripped out the thread in the fan case.

Is there a way to remove the hose from the emptor and bag end without ripping the ends of the filler hose?

Hello All, Would this advertisement for a Heritage II be worth $150.00? The Ad states that it's been cleaned inside and "brushes" checked for wear. I had some Email exchanges with these people and will not even let me come to their home and see it in action. They want to meet at a Starbucks and...

Hello All, I'm stating my first pre-tech drive Kirby rebuild. It's a Classic III and I have a picture and a few questions to ask of the Kirby Guru's. Below are some pictures of the disassembly. 1. I can't seem to get the metal fan off, is it done the same way as the newer Kirby's? 2. Is it...
