I thought the 500 Watt motor in the Electrolux 502S couldn't be lubricated ?
This listing says otherwise... CLICK HERE TO GO TO jmurray01's LINK on eBay |

I noticed this too and thought exactly the same thing. |

I have also noticed this, and as twocvbloke has said, the fans are pressed on somehow. With only the rear [one furthest from the fan] accessible to be greased.
I recently bought a Z550 with screaming bearings. Managed to oil up the rear one, but couldn't find a way to easily get the motor apart to do the front bearing. Luckily it stopped screaming after running for about 10 seconds, sounds much better now. |

It is sad that less and less people are having the knowledge to repair/maintain vintage Vacuum Cleaners, but I'd love to learn how to so in the future I can pass down some information to the next generation of nut cases. Woops, I mean Vacuum Cleaner collectors, ha ha!
Would you be able to make a video on YouTube or something explaining how to lubricate the 500W motor in the Luxes ? |

I know what you mean.
It gives me much pleasure to use my 1977 HOOVER Ranger and know that William Henry Hoover would be turning in his grave at the at the thought somebody was still using a 35 year old cleaner rather than buying a new one! It is the same with my '94 Turbopower 1000 I guess, she is getting on a bit too (in August it'll be 18 years old). I'll probably buy a modern cleaner some time, but it'll never replace my oldies! |
