while on my rounds at work on tuesday i found this standing next to a cluster of dustbins the bag was missing so i had a little look around thinking if someone is chucking a hoover out there not going to keep the bag i looked in the bins and sure enough there it was in the last one .i understood imediatly why the bag was not on the machine it was so full it must have become detached because it was so heavy i put the whole lot in the car and forgot about it just got it out this morning and started to strip it so heres a fiew pictures of the strip down

armature and new bearing back in and brushes refitted ready to put the lid on .i have never been happy with the rubber seal in front of the bearing its little more than useless so once the two motor halves are put back together i seal the whole thing with bathroom sealant its easily removed if you ever need the motor out again

I agree - the Junior U1104 is one of my favourites - one of the best classic humble Hoover uprights from the UK. You should have kept it though.

not sure what model it was it was orange and black with the clear dust bin on the front you know the one it should be sold with a pair of ear defenders.I didnt keep it because i already have another one and i only have a 2 bed house so i have to be selective on what i keep .the old lady [Phyliss] was over the moon with it she has had three juniors in her 90 odd year life time and only bought the vax because she could not get another as i said earlier its great to be able to spend time on a machine instead if just getting it working and back to its owner theres nothing more satisfying than switching on after a full strip down clean and reasembly.

Nice job! I had one of these, refurbed it like you did and sold it to an old lady for her upstairs machine, she was thrilled with it. Amazing it picked that much up till the end, proves they are great! |

.......holding a 'chalky white' 'bedding-in' stick against the commutator and seeing a modest and even sparking is occuring, then you know the refurb is complete! |

Anthony, A great and thorough job done, its reassuring to see that others are as fussy as myself. The 1104 was the last decent junior; knocked patches off the turbos. Well done. Regards, Walter, SHROPSHIRE. |
