Help finding an original Numatic bucket

[ultimatevacman]

Hello fellow vacuumers!

A while ago I purchased a Henry HVC200,
that did not have the original bucket/base part, instead it had a newer one from a HVR200-22.
so I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get an original bucket? (the one without the "stabilizer part" that covered the back wheels).

I would appreciate any advice given.

Thanks,

- Joe

P.S. The link is to a video of my Henry.

I'd say eBay is probably a good bet, i've seen one or two on there in the past few months.

Good luck.

Defiantly eBay!
Like I said to you the other day, there were loads of the earlier buckets on there not long ago; they all seem to have disappeared now

I've attached a pic showing an earlier bucket [the type you should have, but of course in red].
Notice at the top lip of the bucket, between the eyes, there is a slope section to the lip. From this two faint lines can be seen going down then running towards the hose connector. I think this is only a mark from when the bucket was injection moulded, or flash marks etc.
Anyway it’s a good way to tell an 80's bucket from a front view. As I'm sure it’s only these 80's ones which have the marks and slope to the top lip which I have pointed out.
Of course these do not have that stabilizer at the rear.
Hope this helps you in obtaining the correct type of bucket
You could of course use an earlier 90's bucket, up to about 94/95? As these also do not use the stabilizer, but I'm not too sure if they have those distinct marks on the front.

I will keep a look out for a bucket for you

Woops, silly me, forgot to attach the picture!

Thanks guys!

At the place I used to work, they used to have a 1991 NV200 with a bucket like that.
