Hoover 450 brushroll.

[cars-guy]

I have searched and searched and just can’t find a brushroll for my Hoover 450. Sadly it didn’t come with one when I bought it.

Does anyone have one, know where to find one, know what models might be interchangeable or how to Frankenstein one or have pictures of one? I have a mint brushroll for a 700 that fits and spins freely without the rug plate but is too big with the plate in place.

If anyone has a spare compatible brushroll would they be willing to trade for my 700 brushroll?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I’ve been dreaming of having a Hoover coffee can style machine for 20 years and this is the final piece to finish my restoration

That's a beautiful 450 you have there! I have one too, all original except the bag, but I must say that yours looks better than mine. Here's a pic.

Hi:
Any chance this Hoover agitator/brushroll would fit? It measures 11 3/8 inches in overall length. Jusy a little under 11 1/2 inches. I was not able to get a clear photo against the ruler, but the actual length is 11 3/8 inches.

I used a caliper to measure the end cap diameter. it measures 2 .092 inches which is a little shy of 2 1/8 inches.

I also measured the cylinder diameter that hold the two brush strips with my calipers. It is 1.9 inches or just about 1/8 shy of 2 inches.
