It actually started with the Tradition 3CB, in July 1979. The Classic III 2CB was the last Kirby to NOT have disposable bags as an option.
From the Tradition through the Legend II, one could still order the shake-out bag system if (s)he wanted to, but it is very rare to come across one of those, especially the Heritage II (Legend) and Legend II. On those models, two different rear axle setups were implemented: the Tradition/Heritage I-style rear axle (#102080) was used if the HII/LGII was ordered with the reusable bag system, whereas most units - those ordered with the Mini Emtor disposable bag system - used the wide rear axle (#102084, with two #103584 spacers), and thus the two rear wheels stick out more, which makes Sani Emtor installation awkward. As to the motor and the nozzle... not exactly. I tried to put the LGII rug nozzle on my CIII, but it wouldn't jibe with the CIII safety switch. In conclusion... any CIII that has a disposable bag system is NOT original. ~Ben (Attached picture by bnsd60m9200)

Are you saying that you want to convert your CIII to use disposable bags from a Heritage I? If that's the case, then you need the following parts:
179981S = Emtor casting 186076S = Emtor tray, red 186182 = Emtor gasket 188087 = Emtor round rubber gasket 190081 = Bag only, zipper type 190181 = Bottom fill tube adapter 190381 = Fill tube 190481 = Top fill tube adapter 190681 = Disposable paper bag 191182 = Tube tie 191676 = Bag guard, red 191776 = Bag top wire 191876 = Bag top cover (Classic III) ~Ben

Wow! Thanks for the parts list! If the Classic III is converted to bags will it still perform like a Heritage II? | ||

You can easily attach the sani-emptor and bag from a Heritage I onto a Classic III. The bag hanger is different, so you'll have to reuse the Classic III's hanger and vinyl hanger cover. The airflow is exactly the same on both machines. If you want to make a Classic III clean as efficiently as a Heritage I, simply change the brush roller over from the two row (Classic III) to the four row (Heritage I).

Generic bag I had my Classic 3, red converted to paper bags. I thought I was getting a Kirby setup, instead I got a cheap bag installed which used a Eureka F/G bag. it was a mess. The Eureka bags kept bursting, and then I would have to clean out the whole mess.I got rid of my Kirby after that fiasco. | ||

Doesn't the Tradition use the same emptor as the Classic III? | ||

If I use a later "G6-Sentria" or the latest "F" type adapter on the top of the hose, does that mean I could use the latest Micron Magic bags that fit the G series? | ||
