Royal 880 belt and bags

[maso]

Greetings all

New to this forum, just purchased a Royal 880 4.5hp machine... currently on its way down under! My question is, what is the product number for replacement drive belts for this model? I need someone who'll ship to Australia. I've tried a few US suppliers but they don't offer international postage.


Same for the type A bags.

Thanks

Matthew

You should use Eureka F&G bags instead since they are easier to find. Internationally, I believe they are called Electrolux Code E74 and they are all the exact same bags. As for the belts, please post a pic of your model tag so I know which 880 you have.

Matthew,

Because this cleaner was made before 1987, in fact going by the fan case design it was made before April 1985, you should order the 1-043260-001 belt (at least three). Otherwise, order the 1-044260-001 belt (again, at least three).

As Mike (repairman) said, yes you can use the Eureka type F&G disposable bags as an alternative to the discontinued Royal type A disposables.

Thanks guys! Awesome. I found the 104426001 belts on EBay so assume they will work.

I'll look for the Eureka bags you mention. I've seen some listed with higher filtration... does this make a difference to suction?
