Hello Alex,

Thank you for the reply. My 725 1-speed motor and handle is just like yours and the motor as yours shows no sign of a cut wire. My 725 2-speed is of the same wattage but has the extra wire and is a real 2-speed motor. On YouTube Myhooverco8 shows a 725 2-speed. At the shop in the 70's I do not remember working these older vacuums an the owner did years before I worked for him. I too need a fan for the 1-speed the 2-speed is not perfect but has all the blades and I will need one for my 300 also. I did replace many fans on Kirby, Royal and Hoover because people would pick up coins and all kinds of objects. Ben would not even try to order fans for machine like ours and sell customers one of the rebuilt ones.

You had most useful information which I was looking for on the 725 and confirmed that there are 1-speed 725s.

I just received a Hoover 105 today which is about 90 percent original with original handle and one broken rear wheel and a good bag on the 105 bag holder but is not the original bag and missing one 105 type nut for the bag ring. But it run great for 95 year old vacuum. I am going to try to re-bristle the brush roll and one other Hoover.

Good luck with all your endeavors.

Thank you,

Pete
