Hey

I'd show you but there dissaesembled. The eureka power head brush roll and vg2 brush roll I basically switched eureka entire insides. Basically the shell of brush rolls stayed the same. Everything else I swapped.
Insides and it looks like your pic.
If post pics but I'm tired.

Hey

I believe I figured it out. The TriStar replacement brush just have 2 inserts on the sides of the brush roll. One side has a 2 inch part sticking out 1-2 inches and a spindle for bell screws on.
The vg2 has a rod inside the entire length of brush roll.
I examined my vg2 on eureka power head. It has a different cap and rod petruedes same 1-2inchrs. The spindle fits on it's end.
The eureka vg2 and TriStar brush diameter of the shaft is different.
I need a longer shaft and a spindle for vg2.
I was going to put vg2 from eureka power head but it's not broke don't mess it up.
So I'm going to find exploded view of the brush rolls and order correct shaft and spindle. I believe the original brush roll would have swapped out but they replaced brush roll that's why vg2 doesn't fit.
I have used the eureka power head and it's a little more power than compact(eureka rebrand) power head.
I have filter on and tool caddy. The vacuum has more power. The filter before was loosely on. It would fall off if vacuum tipped. It's on and you spin it off. But it makes a big difference in airflow.

Well im very glad that finally your Compact C9 is up and running like a champ at least .Nice to get old iron working good again glad to read it my Compact C9 Blue vac is going good whit the cord replace happy vacuuming .
 
Hey

I believe I have a riccar brush roll w clutch. I will try tommorow but it may fit and work to use vg2.
It is nice to have it running. It's. Beast.
Les
 
hope it works but really u should keep the original end caps and a vibra groomer fora eureka power head hope u find one that fits whit out ordering to many parts
 
Hey

I had a riccar 8950 that motor went out. I saved the brush roll. It has a little spacer on it for the belt and clutch. I just cleaned out 2 rooms just have she'd left. I have a tote of 20-30 brush rolls. I believe I can use riccar spacer and use vibra groomer brush roll. I think a longer screw or something I can make vibra groomer brush roll work without buying anything else.
I'll show pics of what I come up with. I think just riccar brush roll added to vibra groomer will work. Its why I never throw away good brush rolls.
I used the compact power nozzle and the blue eureka. I think there the same power the difference was the filter. The eureka agitates a little better but compact more air did much better than before. There is only agitation a little better but the power is the same. Its refreshing to just have a vacuum that does everything good.
Thanks again for the help. I'll post pics if I can get vg2 brush working.

How did your dream team power team do on your floors.
 
Thats why i have two plastic containers of parts and screws and nick nacks also in my basements and a whole set of cleaning tools form vacuums gone ,by i never trow away vacuum parts that way i can customize as i go along to .Doesn't cost me a dime thats the way to do it . M y Compact C9 brushroll was replace 4 years ago whit the motor cost me 100$ for all of it , but works like a dream grooms well nothing stops it .I have spare belts that i keep replace for free again cant beat that for free .My Compact and Floor pro did amazing on my floor next step is wax and im laughing again .I also kept the old brush roll that came in my compact power nozzle just in case i needed spare parts or replacement items , i have 2 tote fulll to the brim of hoses bags filters brush tools caddy ands manual ect . A while back i stock up for 3 years worth of paper bags for all my vacuum . Havent gone through a store for bag in 6 months again ,, im laughing i maintain my 4 vacuum for 10 $ or so . Best thing i did was keep older brush and hoses and bags of older vacuum that i fix up or sell never know .
 
Hey

Exactly reason I do too. I go thrift store I see vacuum bags I buy them. They run .75-1.00 and if you buy online there 10 bucks plus. I got so many vacuum bags. I have alot of belts a coffee can full. I believe the compact belt is same as Kirby/royal belt.
I have a ton of carbon brushes bearings alot. have maybe a 10 year supply of bags for c9 I just need to stock up on motor filters.
I think I have a motor for compact if it dies.i can't even recall where I got it. It's anywhere from 8*-12 amp motor. Ametech lamb I believe.
We clean our wood floors with Bissell symphony. It uses distilled water and cleans tile and wood not getting wood soaked just cleans it well. We put a wax seal on every couple years. I may have to invest in a waxer like yours.
I only ordered 1yool caddy not 2 but I only use 3 at most attachments so it's perfect. It takes 15 seconds 2 or 3 times and I'm done I place cord in middle of vacuum area no unplugging. It is very convenient.

Yepppp

Thats what i did whit my Waxer its was my most expensive purchases some of my friend said a waxer for 1200$(all 3 floor brush polishing whool pads scrubbing pads rug brush waranty 5 years and motor waranty for life ) ur nuts i say my floors rugs wax washing my floor all done whit one machine .So no more mops bucket of water ect add it up i save .Works so well to warranty also made the price a bit higher but the 30 feet cord makes it easy to use ,and yes i have all the pads whit it shes full equip .
My Compact C9 has bags for years to come i made a new filter out of filter material i had at home cut to fit and voila .My electrolux were cheap too(my upright yard sale 20$ my canister ap 200 40 $) .All in all if i ever need anything i reach in my container and find what fits i have a new cord on my vacuum for free i had a spare . So all my 4 vacuum including my shopvac are all maintain for cheap and work like new gota love it old iron just built to last self taught repair man also helps .

Compact.

Hey well I offered $30 plus $20 shipping for a c8 and he accepted offer. Vacuum is okay shape. The exhaust cap I bought will go on it as it doesn't have one. I'll put new filters etc. I will tear apart vacuum cleaner up and reassemble. It has a hose basically ends are only good part rest of it crap hose. You mentioned that you did something for your hose. I need a hose so your suggestions on a hose.

Hey

No nothing is wrong. I just may use one in my vacuum she'd clean up area and blow out vacuums.
I wanted one for shop/shed and price was right.
Thanks for link.
I got my riccar brush roll. I took out internal shaft I cut off a half inch.
The vg2 caps have half circular holes for rod. I have to drill out full circle and everything will fit to make vg2 brush work.

Oh niiice one for house one for shed work shop great choice put a cloth bag paper bag motor filter and hose like i link ya and youl be golden cant wait to se both of em
 
Hey

The hose is a bit much. I'll wait to see how well old hose is.
I got all filters and bags for it. I'll wait to see hose condition. Ill ask for more pics.
Thanks
Les
 
that was jsut to show you what type of hose you need for your compact c8 c9 those type of hose dont require to adda pigtail at the power nozzle cord.
 
Hola

I don't need power nozzle or power hose. If hose is shot. I'll put on another hose. The shop doesn't have lavish carpet. The blower part of c9 is way powerful. That has no power.
Les
 
Hey

The seller said hose has no holes just dirty. I guess I can put lush carpet in shed. Even without power nozzle the pig would keep it spotless.
