My kirby 519

[vacuumwomen]

Hello All. About a year ago I picked up a very nice kirby 519. WHen we took it to our new house one day i just decided to get out my kirby handi butler and attachet to my kirby classic III.It turned out buetiful.When I went to put on a new belt.I turned it.Then I heard a loud cracking noise yes sure enought the arm broke. I gathered up everything and tried to put it back together.I found that those little rubber holders are the only thing holding it toghether.So I got some super glue and went to town.It worked for a few weeks then I went to use the attachments and crack.So If anybody has a belt lifter to one that they dont need I will be willing to pay for it.I have an ds80 on there now and it just doesnt look right.I called Kirby and they said I have to buy the whole nozzle and I dont have that much money to spend.Thanks in advance.
P.S If anybody has the floor polisher I would buy that too.

Hi Cindy I had the same thing happen to me on a very old Kirby. I went to my local Kirby dealer and they had the part on a unit they saved for parts. Long story short 5.50 and i was set .GOOD LUCK Doug
