If there is anyone that might have at least one Kirby 500505 4-row 13" brush roll for sale, please reply to this board.
This brush roll that I want is for my Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80, although its original applications were the Comvac 1300 and the Kirby Heritage/Legend series (those units with the small 13" nozzle). Ball bearing construction is preferred (so the knurled belt can be used w/o issues). Otherwise, if it has sleeve bearings (as it did originally) I will use the soft belts on this. I am in the 97267 area of Portland, OR. Thank you, Ben |

Andy,
Yes, I visit eBay from time to time. I posted this ad because I knew Kirby deleted the product from its roster of replacement parts. It was originally the brush roll supplied for the Comvac model CV1300 as well as the 13" nozzle version of the Heritage I, II, Legend and Legend II. The one I want is the one with the ball bearing construction, since that is supposed to last longer than equivalent brush rolls using sleeve bearings. Until the mid 1990s, Kirby made all its brush rolls for its legacy products using sleeve bearings. Ball-bearing rolls can be distinguished from the sleeve-bearing rolls by the absence of plastic thread guards on both ends of the roll. ~Ben |

Ben,
Your reply brings me to a question. A couple years ago, I replaced the original, worn brushroll on my D80 with a 4 row brushroll. It's been a while since I've looked at it, but if memory serves, it's a sleeve bearing unit. At the time, I replaced the belt with a knurled belt. What's your opinion? Should I be using a smooth belt with this brushroll instead? I never use the D80 for daily use. It's really just one of my "show" pieces in my collection. I only take it out and run it once in a while to exercise it. |

Ben,
the ball bearing version is still produced by CWP for Kirby and is widely available on the net. A quick search found it priced from 17-25 dollars retail and $13 wholesale.

Ben, On my recent visit to CWP during the convention, they had 2 of these brush rolls on the peg board display in the show room. I didn't ask if they were still produced or if they were willing to sell one on display, but there is 2 of them there.

I'm still looking for one - now two - because I want one not only for my '69 D80 but also for the Heritage II 13" nozzle.
Same part no. 500505, and ball bearing construction. As usual, please e-mail me, or call me at 503-659-9762 if you have one. I am preferring to pay $40 for two quantities. Thank you, Ben |

Thank you, but I have already bought mine two weeks ago from a place called Discount Cleaning Products for just $12.24. It arrived just last week, and was the right one as described.
