Hi,
I have a Hoover model 61 that has some broken fins on the cast metal fan part on bottom of vacuum. It ran fine until I messed it up.
I would like to find and replace, if it's not a hard thing to find or replace.

if is a hard part to find or reinstall, I would like to know if anyone has any interest in buying the vacuum or it's parts.

Thanks
Ed
 
Thanks for the links.
How do you get to it to replace.
Is there a procedure to follow to disassemble vacuum to gain access to the fan.
I can't figure out how to get it out.

There are two screws that hold on the hood just behind the front wheels a ways. The headlight has a small regular screw and the motor has 4 screws. The fan pulley will unscrew clockwise or left hand thread.
 
61 fan

The fan on your 61 is different than a convertible fan. The center hub is taller, the fans linked above will not work. The fan you need is a part #21644 it fits the 29,60,61,62,63,64. The model 65 is the convertible fan part #22556 for the metal fan. I have some parts machines 60 or 61, I can check to see if they have good fans if you are interested.
 
Thanks 3rdGenVacGuy,
Instructions worked great, got it off ok. Left hand threads a real good thing to know. Glad I heard from you before tear down, I may have messed it up.
I attached some pic's of what I have.
If you have a replacement part, I would be interested. Located in St. Louis, MO

Thanks again.

61 fan

I tore down a couple machines, one had a chip in the fan. I did find a nice one. Price shipped would be $10. I would have to ship by usps, because I have been getting burned shipping by ups. my email is [email protected] Get me your address and I can give you my Paypal info if interested. My Paypal has a different email address.
