Hello fellow Vacuumers!
I was talking to my cousin yesterday, and she was telling me that her old Henry is making an odd noise, and she is scared to use it. I had a look at it, and it sounds like it has bad bearings. Does anyone know how to lube the bearings up a bit? But I think they are sealed bearings so this might not be possible. It also has a lot of sentimental value, as it was given from her late grandmother. Or is it just a better idea to replace the motor? I would appreciate any advice given. - Joe P.S. I attached a photo of it if anyone is interested. |

I've serviced motors on my 2 single speed Henry's and they're not that difficult to work on. I haven't had them apart for ages so I can't remember how to acces the bearings |
