RoyalFan103 Yeah, sure does!

My immediate family's vacuums and their backstories! My parents: 1:1998: Eureka The Boss Special Edition Bravo II Widetrack (7821): Parents bought brand new at Kmart after they moved into my childhood mobile home. Was the best vacuum they had and lasted the longest, also being the machine that...

Rare PowerForce models There are several variants of the well known Powerforce line that are pretty rare and therefore mostly forgotten outside of those who still have them and fellow Bissell enthusiasts. One particularly rare model is the Bissell "Bagless" 6579/6579-1 model. This model came...

Perhaps I will! Either way, I will be vacuuming like it's 1999, haha!

It is back alive! Finished the motor rebuild on my own widetrack Bravo II, a '99 Eureka The Boss Special Edition with a NOS scroll assembly and carbon brushes, put it back together and it runs like it is 1999 again! Just have to let the hose dry and put it back on, then find my wax so I can...

Silly Me! Forgot the washer that goes on the back of the fan, spins perfectly with fan on now.

Had to remove the fan on my Eureka Bravo II in order to replace the bearing/scroll assembly behind it, and while it spins perfectly with the fan off, anytime I out the fan on and tighten it, while it isn't real hard to turn, there is a noticable resistance and it should definitely spin easier...

Hey Jimmy, You wouldn't happen to have any Eureka Bravo II style machines with headlights would you? If not, that's okay!

Update on mine.... Got a new handle release spring as the first one disappeared when I took it apart somehow, new belts, plus some NOS parts including a brushroll, scroll assembly that contains the front bearing, and carbon brushes as I accidentally shattered one of the originals by forgetting...

Nice, love how that manual shows both the standard 12 inch base as well as the Widetrack base. I'd also love to find such a reference chart as the only ones I have found are for mid 80s and older models. As far as differences between the Bravo! (sometimes referred to as the Bravo I from us...

For the first one: You're fine, everyone has their own preferences regarding vacuums collecting and therefore their own areas of expertise on certain brands/models/years etc. I had already figured you weren't aware of the differences between the Bravo II and Victory units and frankly I didn't...

Thanks for the pictures and info, Paul! Unfortunately as my account is new, I can only post/reply to a post every 30 minutes as I meant to say this earlier when you first responded but couldn't.

Yep, plus there are two others I know of. A bare bones soft bag model that Old Crankman posted on here last year and there's also a World Vac Widetrack model that had the "Dirt Alert" lights and dual speed motor that's probably the rarest model along with that one Old Crankman posted that I...

My exact childhood model Luckily after many years of searching, I finally found someone that was selling one back last September and he had TWO! Sold me the better of the two (right one) and I am currently replacing the bearings in it as the front one is really messed up and would squeal...

Hello there, Vacuumlanders! One of my favorite vacuum lineups is the Bravo II lineup from Eureka. My childhood machine as well as the very machine that got me interested in vacuum cleaners as a little girl was my parents' 1998 Eureka The Boss Special Edition. They bought it new from Kmart I...

Wow, I have never seen one of those before. Certainly appears to be a prototype style model like the 6579-1 "Bissell Bagless" was to the standard base Powerforce Bagless line. Cool find!
