Completely rebuilt motor and Brushroll. Both sound absolutely fantastic.
The original bag with spreader bar is currently drying.... will post a follow up photo tomorrow.
This one just hums across the rug with minimal noise!
Thanks for posting your pics! So inspiring as I tear into my 725. Thanks for showing the original details, too! Amazing to see the original furniture guard (rubber bumper) and cord plug. Not to mention the original paint looks like it shined up nicely too!
Would love to see a pic of the bag when it's ready to show.
look better than one i have. the motor on mine is frozen solid and the screws are so rusty they wont budge. in your before pics it looks like the wall plug is broken. in the after it looks brand new- was it just dirty before or did you fix it? and you even have the original box and hose! lucky find- now all you need is to make a new bag and it be perfect.
I was given a motor about forty years ago by our local cleaner repair man. I only found out what the rest of the machine looked like about ten years ago.
It looks and sounds fantastic. I would love to find a hoover bag like that, is it original to that model? Very nice indeed.[this post was last edited: 2/21/2021-08:20]
