I bought a used Heritage, and read somewhere the Tradition attachments would work. Bought attachments, but the vacuum won't come on with the blue hose attached. A light on the vacuum lights up, but the motor won't work. Works great with the just the vacuum head. Am I stuck with the wrong hose?

Right machine, wrong hose coupling

The light indicates that the foot switch is in the "on" position.  The motor doesn't turn on because the safety/speed switch is in a different position on the Heritage than on the Tradition and the Tradition's hose coupling doesn't line up with the switch.

You will need a hose from Heritage, Heritage II, or Legend II.

I in fact have several Heritage hoses but am looking for a hose and (blue) attachments for my Tradition. I don't have a whole set of Heritage attachments but would be willing to trade a Heritage hose towards your set, if you are interested.

If you want to keep the hose and tools, then you could just swap the hose end for a Heritage style one, might take a bit of work (old hoses usually do), but you can fit one relatively easily... :)
