Kirby Attachment Shaft (bar)

[jeschbac]

Need to put a new attachment shaft on a restoration project of a Classic III. Has anyone got one or two I could buy? Thanks.

J.,

The exact part you are looking for is 121656. Kirby no longer makes this part but you might be able to find one in stock if you look hard enough.

jess, with as common as classic III's are, just get a parts machine with the correct pieces you need. buying NOS parts unless directly dealing with the electrical, motor, or moving parts (axles, ratchet, handle fork spring) is un-necessarily expensive as there are so many ample parts machines. i bought a classic III power unit assembly off ebay a few years ago and stripped it just for the armature. i kept the rest of the trim parts, screws and wheels in a bag in case i ever need spares. i paid all of $10 for the whole thing.

Or--how bout looking thru the parts-junk box at your local vac dealer-repair place.They may have the attachment bar from another machine.
