Help - Hoover 375 Leaning Issue

[ultimatevacman]

Hi everyone.


 


I got a nice Hoover Junior 375 a while ago, and I'm very pleased with it. There is a problem with it though, it seems to lean, quite badly. It doesn't seem floppy, and the handle will not go fully upright. I'm guessing something has been bent?


 


If anyone could offer and advice it would be greatly appreciated.


 


Cheers!

my 375 handle also leans backwards a little

...........I think it probably is weakening/ware of the release spring due to age and the weight of the rather solid handle.

Compare the 375 handle/bracket to the 119 bracket/strong release spring and light aluminium handle parts?
