Eureka Upright Motor Question |
[Down to Last] |  |

Today, I dug into a Eureka Upright that I've had sitting around. It has a 4 amp motor in it. The lower bearing needs to be replaced. However, my question is about the sleeve bearing on top. What do I need to do to service it? Do I just apply some oil? If so, what kind? I guess the only way to replace it (if it needed replacing) is to replace the motor cover since it is riveted into it. Thanks!

This is the part I'm talking about. The motor cover has a sleeve bearing in it. From what I can tell, this part is no longer available. Nor is the motor bottom with the ball bearing. Nor are the motor brushes (which are just fine). It's a shame to have to waste a perfectly good armature and motor field when Eureka is no longer producing other replacement parts! I have a 7 amp motor that I'm going to install. But I'd like to keep this 4 amp as a good, working spare!

Get rid of that wimpy 4 AMP motor and put in a beefy 7 AMP motor, you wont be disappointed. | ||
