And last but not least under the hood. So what do you guys think so far?

good buy I would say the brush roll is worth keeping just use a wire brush and scrub it good. you can buy new brush strips at your local vacuum store or I think you can order them online at hoover.com I have one in mint condition you can see it in my photos of collections. the machine is practically brand new.

Alright here is the #1 question on my mind...

How do I take the brush roll all the way apart.. I can only get one end cap off and that is it, also what does the top motor bearing look like??

take a screw driver (flat head) place it in the middle of the of the screw on the end cap that you have taken off. next take a hammer and tap it a couple of times the other side should come out. it did for me and I took minwe apart the other day
