Henry with terrible bearings!

[ultimatevacman]

Hello fellow Vacuumers!

I was talking to my cousin yesterday, and she was telling me that her old Henry is making an odd noise, and she is scared to use it.
I had a look at it, and it sounds like it has bad bearings.
Does anyone know how to lube the bearings up a bit? But I think they are sealed bearings so this might not be possible.
It also has a lot of sentimental value, as it was given from her late grandmother.
Or is it just a better idea to replace the motor?

I would appreciate any advice given.

P.S. I attached a photo of it if anyone is interested.

I've serviced motors on my 2 single speed Henry's and they're not that difficult to work on. I haven't had them apart for ages so I can't remember how to acces the bearings

That's good to hear. I might have a look on google and see if I find anything.
