    Kirby G7D burning through belts regardless of adjustment settings

    Roller Height and Shaft sanding If it is a new roller, make doubly sure that the roller height itself is set to 1 (end caps themselves should have 1 notch showing). If this doesn't work, try sanding the belt shaft. Get a piece of sandpaper and put it clamp it in some pliers. Bypass the safety...

    RE: Will77 Riccar is a great brand, and they offer many great options. I would recommend the R25 Deluxe or Premium for your price range, but I would take the premium. They both have easy-to-change HEPA bags and great allergen filtration, as well as a low-speed brush and brush-off mode for bare...

    How do I fix a bent handle fork stop on a Kirby heritage 1

    Ok... This is tough, i have never personally replaced these as they are incredibly dangerous. It may not seem tight but it IS. Normally if the spring is shot I just replace the outer casing, if you would like one, i can probably get you one.

    "R" Model Kirbys

    Does anyone have R model kirby's (denoting retail model) with the handle switch in their collection. I've never actually seen a picture of one... much less seen one in real life. All the best, Avery

    So then the upright is also a universal (seems like a clone of hoover design of the period)

    Is that kirby in the back a 505 or a 510 I can't tell from just the handle, but i would be willing to buy it for around 25-40 if you are willing to sell.

    Is this a hoover Aero-Dyne as shown (I know that the upright is a model 28 or similar) but i am not familiar with hoover's early canisters.

    Vintage Units Most all vintage units have had HEPA bags developed for them like kirby, hoover, electrolux,tri-star/compact, etc. My personal recommendation would be either a G3-Sentria Kirby (with self propel and great filtration aligned with amazing carpet cleaning capability.) Or an old...

    Hoover Gaurdsman (80's) Handle Bail Issues.

    About a year and a half ago, while i was transporting my hoover gaurdsman (u4313) up a flight of stairs, the metal handle bail/bracket snapped. After about a year of watching eBay, i have found NO compatible bails. It is a unique part because of not only the hole for the foot switch, but the...
