Joe,
I'm sure one of the VCCC members or another Hoover guru has the parts to help you out with no strings attached. Greasing the lower bearing on a convertible is easy. You could bring it the convention next year and I will help you with the bearing. Here is a thread on how to grease the lower bearing on a convertible. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kloveland's LINK |

The height adjuster only needs to be cleaned then a touch of oil then it should move better. The hood could probably be repaired by someone who can do plastic then painted at an auto body service where they can match the paint or maybe even fix it. By all means keep the vacuum. I love my 719 & when the bearing is fine it will purr like a Hoover motor should. Cheers!!!

Yes that's how I cleaned mine. Sorry I didn't put that it before. It's amazing how dust build up will cause them to get stuck but once they're clean & oiled they slide just fine. I didn't use dw40 but sewing machine oil & moved it from shag to low several times. If you take the hood off it's even more easier.

Very good....that's how most of them get stuck with dust & debree oh. & if you have the top off take it outside & use a leaf blower & clean the motor too... Or take the tooth brush & clean the vent on the side of the motor to make sure it gets proper air. You'd be surprised at how much dust will come out.
