Kirby Generation
Wolfie,Looks like bad news,good news.Seller description & packing is bad and I hope you consider complaint,partial refund & bad feedback.Good news is you have a Generation that can always be serviced and repaired.The front axle problem could have been prevented but is easy to fix.Common(and simple)problems include cracked fill tube,worn back wheels,possibe control unit(switch)wear and fan issues(your newer fan may or may not need replacement).Many of us could & would help but looks like Richard is close.If you have mechanical skills and can deal with a 'jigsaw puzzle' group of parts look at it piece by piece.The motor unit is most complicated but using caution such as unplug first,can be disassembled.I teach "If it will be more than 5 minutes before you reassemble put each screw back in hole it comes out of".Try it,it is not double work.For motor unit remove cord,plastic cover,metal cover,switch button,remove rear wheels & trans unit.This will require more brain & thought power than muscle.I then remove cooling air intake,then motor rearward with headlight wires attached.Good luck.Hope 'buyers remorse'is temporary and you will soon have Happy Vacuuming!
