Is it supposed to have a shield? The front says Made In USA, and then tiny numbers I can't read.... I haven't cleaned it yet, but it turns well. Other newer vacs have bearing shields? | ||

Thank you... So it's likely that this bearing once had a shield....I should probably get a new one. Thanks. | ||

If it's any help the front bearing is a 87500 and the rear bearing is a 87007.
The old rear bearings were enclosed on the side facing the commutator and open on the other side. Then there was a grease shield up against the open side of the bearing and a washer with spring fingers that went in the housing. | ||
