Nice stuff I have a Classic coming to me from ebay. Fingers crossed it arrives safe after reading all the shipping stories lately I'm a little worried. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it. I have one question (so far). How do you remove the belt lifter on a old classic(not omega or III)?
 
Here's just a compilation of all the Kirbys that I have taken pictures of. Very few I don't own, though.


 


(The two Heritages pictured are different.)


 


I don't have any pictures of my Classic III unfortunately. That one is in very nice shape though.


 


The Tradition I got yesterday and I'm in the process of restoring.

Dual what now?

Ohhhh, I see what you did there! I like that! Now, if I could just fit a HII belt lifter onto the D50....
 
Jake,

There is a Heritage II small head available, of course, but there is no speed switch provision for model groups D50-D80, 1CR or 1CB-3CB but rather the 516-S7 and H1-L2. The Heritage I small nozzle might have had the additional speed switch provision for models 1CB-3CB.

You can adapt an H2 belt lifter to your D50 nozzle using these parts:
144081 - Belt lifter body, black
144181 - Belt lifter spring washer (order 314890)
144281 - Belt lifter hook (order 144291)
144681 - Belt lifter flat washer
144781 - Belt lifter mounting screw
145481 - Belt lifter bearing
146384 - Belt lifter label (top)
146784 - Belt lifter label (bottom)

Additionally, if you like you can order these other parts:
140869 - Bumper end rivet
147984 - Bumper, 13"

Here's my Classic and my Classic III. The Classic III is my most complete Kirby--have everything except the Handi-Butler. Need a hose for the older Classic. Anyone have an extra?
