Does anyone know anything about what parts numbers were printed on the armatures and fields of Kirby vacuum motor sets through the years, other than those covered in the 1965 edition of the Kirby master service manual?

What I want to find out is which models from the 3C through the 515 would have used the armatures in question - that Kirby says (on page 1-19 in the service manual in question) it would no longer supply replacement armature and field sets which bear the following ID part numbers listed below (but to completely replace with a new one)?

The ID numbers in question are (for which Kirby had no longer supplied replacement armature and field sets for):
Armatures: 10175, 3424, 4579, 4494, 4121
Fields: 10176, 3424, 4579, 4494, 4121

Other then non-current ID numbers from the same service manual:
Armatures: 11320, 10530, 5BA45BD12/A/B (replaced by 12062)
Fields: 11321, 10531, 5BA45BD12/A/B (replaced by 12065)

Again, could anyone please find out for me which Kirby models used these armatures and fields, which have the code numbers listed above, in question?

Thank you,



Ben

Secondary Code Numbers

BUMP

Has anyone who took apart any Kirby motors ever know what those cryptic numbers were that were imprinted on them? Those are the "code" (secondary) numbers for the motor assembly. If so, could you please show us your fields and armatures with those stampings, so that I can align them with the Scott & Fetzer primary parts code numbers? Thank you.

And just so you all know, "103959E" or "114973" are S&F primary parts code numbers, but the armatures and fields themselves might also have a secondary code number imprinted on them.

Examples--Fields:
A1039W has a secondary code "12065"
A103959W has a secondary code "12065"
A103959E has a secondary code "5BA45FN1"
A103960W has a secondary code "12247"
A103962E has a secondary code "5BA45DN35"
A103964W has a secondary code "13044"

Examples--Armatures:
A1149W has a secondary code "12062"
A114959E has a secondary code "5BA45FN1"
A114960W has a secondary code "12245"
A114962E has a secondary code "5BA45DN35"
A114964W has a secondary code "13042"
