CONGRATULATIONS on finding that Hoover 913 upright! We all know those are getting hard to find now, in any condition. How much work do these vacuums need??

Brandon,
These were imported from England, and sold here (in the USA) from 1949 to 1983. 913 was the model # from 1949 through 1967. For 1968 it was changed to model 918, and then for 1979 it changed again to U7037, losing the headlight feature in the process.
This hunk of English iron was finally dropped in 1983.

Actually,
These units, model 91, was made HERE until 1960. Then, it became 913, from Perivale...from 1960- through 1969, with only a few changes. This info was retrieved from North Canton documents. The 7037, having the same shape, still had a light, but was covered in rubber. It's so easy to get all of this confused, I do it all the time. But, I just checked. This info is straight out of HOOVER's archives. Hope this helps.

I have 4 or 5 versions
of them, nyself. POWERFUL beasts. One, I got for $10.00 A men's clothing store was closing, and, they were selling EVERYTHING. I asked about the vacuum. They replied, "HMM, never thought about THAT. How's ten bucks"?

U7037 with Orange Bag?
John,
I wonder if the very last U7037's were given orange bags like the other Hoover Commercial vacuums from 1983?

U7037 with Orange Bag
It seems Hoover kept with the gray bag the entire run, even when the rest of the Commercial line up was orange.

To me, it seems out of whack here, as Hoover, in the U.K., had offered the C1312 (that country's equivalent of the U7037) for that market with the orange bag on it.

Scratch That...
I meant that over in the U.K. and other European markets, the U7008 was their version of our U7037. The very last of those U7008s were given orange bags similar to their usage on the Conquest series offered on both sides of the Atlantic. Unlike our U7037, their U7008 actually has no light, nor did the later C1312.

I agree, but this image is direct from a 1981 Hoover catalog. The gray does seems more unified with the base.
Sorry, I didn't see your last post before I typed mine. I'm glad you found that information.

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Brandon - A question about the GE hand cleaner - does it have a model number somewhere on it? Some of them started with a "V", some did not......Thanks, John</span>
