hoover model 26 question

A Couple of Pages from the 1957 Service Manual

That big nut is, effectively a prototype of the Normal/High range adjuster on later models and is clearly intended to be set by a technician and not by the "typical" owner. I hope find the attached disassembly instructions to be interesting.

All of it. And, people did all of these things routinely.
Marty, it's great to see you posting.
I'd like to talk to you about something. Nothing bad, on the contrary.

By all means, John. As a matter of fact, I sent you an email, yesterday to the address in your profile. Is it correct?
